Thanks, she only looks good due to the expert photography skills ;).

Hopefully we will be able to be as consistent as you and the ginger ninja one day, we are somewhat behind you in terms of impressive horsey turn-around's, but we are getting there slowly if I stop injuring myself :o.

Any news as to if we will see you out and about next year? Won't be the same without you showing us how its done :(.

x x x

Ah we just really go in there and just give it all we've got, hopefully I'll be competing come spring so you haven't seen the last of us :D the doctors say around 6 month mark which would be middle of feb so not long now! The only thing is orange pony loves his other mum, I might not get him back at this rate :p I hope you're at someone of the winter dressages :D xxxx

That is excellent news :D, February will be here before you know it! Can understand why she wouldn't want to give him back, he is fab :).
Should be stressaging on the 1st in the prelim and novice, if all goes to plan. Hopefully we can put her bounciness to good use :D.

Some really lovely horses on this thread, go the minority!!!

TOO adorable!
 
This is my Boy - Scrumpy. He is a Welsh Sec D X Belgium New Forest. He is homebred and produced by me which makes him even more special. We have been to 3 BD Regionals, 3 BRC Championships and started eventing BE this year. He is awesome!

Here he is doing his first BE90


And winning at BRC Champs

Lovely colour! Don't normally like Sec Ds that much but he looks a nice chappie.
 
Some gorgeous alternative versions! I only have Heidi to offer, and you've seen enough pics of her!

Jessamess, Tiger is fab, when you get a good arab you have the world at your feet and he is just that. Do you know if he has Red House Condor in his lineage? There's a lot about his jumping style that is similar to our young irish mare who has him as a grandsire, he is supposed to have thrown a number of grade A jumpers.....
 
He is indeed awesome! As is his breeding - how did that happen? (ref. Scrumpy)

Thank you Cortez. We bought a Belgium New Forest Mare, (which had been imported 4 years previous) for me to BS Juniors which we did very well, she had awful problems during her seasons to the point where it was so painful for her she won't move when you got on, so we decided to put her in foal, we chose Syndeham New Edition who stands at Badgworth Arena which is 5 miles for us. It was close and we really liked Sid for his attitude and the ponies he has produced. Scrumpys mum is quite fine and so we wanted to add some bone along with some movement from the shoulder and knee, as the mare was quite tight in her shoulder. I rode the mare up until 9 months and was riding her at a grading at 7 months jumping 1.20 tracks. She absolutely thrived on work and being in foal changed her attitude for the better.
We aimed to breed a jumper and Scrumpy was useless at it until March this year when everything finally clicked into place. I have no desire to rush him, he is 8 now and such fun.
