Great report P_G! Just read it now. Pity no picture, but what a lovely comment from the judge. I looked at the results and saw that you beat some very well thought of horses!
I still can't get over how far you've come since getting little Bloss! Good on you!
You don't pick the easy ones though do you! Just shows what a bit of hard work and dedication can do - with a chunk of talent thrown in for good measure!
QUOTE..I was really impressed with my winner. He was ridden beautifully and although he didn't look like a dressage horse when he cam into the arena, he looked "WORLD-CLASS" when he went out...QUOTE....
Terhi Iknen...Judge.
i am indeed!!!!!!!! Like i said in a post on page 1 - mum had to drag him into the arena as he decided he didnt want to go in, hence her comment about not looking like a dressage horse when he came in!!!
No, he was imported as a 4yo - his stable was attached to an indoor school so he went from his stable to the indoor school each day. And out in the field for an hr a day. Poor guy never saw anything, so its no wonder hes petrified of everything!
Its a dutch thing PG.
Snoopy follows me round the field too lol this lunch time i took his sheet off and he walked the whole field back with me, his nose on my shoulder lol
I take him out for walks round our tracks on the lunge line and he just ambles along beside me - if i was riding him he'd be having a heartfailure at everything!
