    First dressage comp

    Thanks everyone, I'm really pleased with her. She's so very different to my old boy which I thinks helps as I can't compare them. It's allowing me to go in a different direction. She certainly won't make an advanced endurance horse, but hopefully we'll get jumping soon and have a play at everything

    She's a 6 yr old ISH by Glosters Clovers Dream. She's been fab so far (she has big boots to fill). I've since bought a spare pair of gloves and put them in the glove box!

No idea about genetics and colouring, I believe the white in the tail is due to Rabicano, but her high amount of white on the face may be due to sabino?

    Colours for new horse

    Thanks everyone. I'd wondered about burgundy. But wasn't sure if it would clash. I've always thought burgundy and gold looks very smart
