My Passion | My Horses

I thought a good start to this blog would be to give you an idea about me and the things I'm passionate about. By far my biggest passion is my horses! I've horse mad and proud! I've had ponies since being little and currently own 3 horses and two ponies.

Danny & Lucy

These two pretty much come as a package. Their complete opposites but love each other to bits. Danny is technically my mums horse but as he's a show jumper and as my mum hates jumping, I jump him. He's a dutch KWPN and stands at 16.3hh so he's a pretty big boy. He's 12 years old and a gentlemen in the arena but pretty spooky out hacking. He's a school master when it comes to jumping and will jump anything you put in front of him with out even changing pace.


Lucy is the only girl and baby of the group. She's a 4 year old Irish sports horse and currently stands at 16.2hh. She's a really sweety, if a bit dozy and clumsy! She's behind in her riding due to a knee defect meaning she couldn't be worked for a year but she's getting there.


Taffy

He is my absolute baby! Taffy is nearly 20! and only dinky at 14hh. He's a welsh section C cob, liver chestnut. He's a cheeky boy with a giant attitude but is so good to handle and ride. He's an absolute dream, he hacks, jumps, does dressage and will do a bit of cross country. I love him to bits, he's such a special lad and I have so many great memories with this pony.



James 

This cheeky boy is 21 years young, my mums had him since he was 6 months old (so before me ) and she rescued him from going to France for meat. He's a bugger but I cherish him. James is a dartmoor pony and super dinky as he's only 11.2hh. He was my first pony and the one who made me fall in love with riding (and taught me to hang on) ! He's a super lad and is retired due to his age and chronic laminitis.

 Archie

What can I say? Archie is basically the odd ball, well non of them are exactly normal but this ones something else. He's a great horse with a crazy attitude. He's 15 hh and a welch x thoroughbred, aged 15. Archie thinks he's human, he hates all other horses (especially his arch rival James) and I'm pretty sure would live in our house if he could. He can be fantastic to ride or he can be an absolute arse ( basically will bronk until your off his back) depending on how the mood takes him! He's a quirky lad but we still love loads.

I hope this wasn't too long and now you have an insight into my neddys and their personality.
