Its a little hard to explain, as it is a little controversial.
Something like 3 out of the top 4 pony 4-in-hand teams were bred by one (English) stud, as well as a lot of the world class pairs and singles. The Chef de equippe of the Belgium junior team drives one of his teams, and spoke to me abit in Austria as she was interested in Pip.

. She reported back, about Pip and me to the breeders and they want to support me

. The pony 4-in-hand drivers he breeds for are all happy to have me for training over the next few years, and I guess I'll do abit of grooming

.
I also get the chance to go with one of them to the pony worlds next year.

. Being General cling-on, and grooming where I can.
As soon as I get time we are going to go and visit him, and his 400 ponies that are based at his home, to find out abit more about it. He said I could go with either the current silver medalist, or the Belgium lady with their 4-in-hands and seemed genuinely interested in helping out where he could.

Soooo excited! It feels abit like being talent spotted

.

Sorry for being rather cryptic, I would be happy to explain to people I 'know' by PM

Fantastic news, I bet you are bursting with excitement. I am sure you will throw all your energy into it and you will find you will be able to clean tack etc a lot quicker and cleaner than you are currently worrying about. Best of luck and keep us updated "Our HHO Driving Star"

Phew OK I think I get it.

. I hope so, my tack cleaning skills are...basic. I actually like cleaning leather, and it looks clean when I have finished with it, just not shiney

. I can do sythetic stuff with a veerrryy long time allowance.

My...under developed mucking out skills from having rubber mating were commented upon in Austria

.

I can clean ponies socks though
