Gosh wisp and willow your mare looks ever so like mine. The way of markings I mean. Where did you get her/breed her?

 

[pip_dog]

Anyway these be mine

 

[whisp&willow]

Ha Ha! yes they are similar eh? Where abouts are you pip?

Willow (coloured) was bred from my mare whisper using a stallion called puzzles limited edition from whitegate stud in glaamis.

how about yours?

 

[pip_dog]

That's the thing. Cannot trace her breeding at all. I bought her from Edinburgh. But she came from Yorkshire originally

 

[whisp&willow]

That's a shame. I doubt they are in any way related though. If she was by puzzles I'm sure she'd have been registered, and I've had her mother (my mare whisper) since she was 2, so she's not got any other babies out there!

Your mare looks lovely anyhow! Do you know what breed she is? How big is she?

Where abouts do you stay- the scenery in your pics looks similar to home (skye)

She's a German sports horse. Some sort of hybrid me thinks and she is 14.3. We live in Shetland

 

[whisp&willow]

I had a feeling you were a fellow islander!

xx

 

[pip_dog]

Indeed! All good fun. Only had her a couple of months. So still getting used to her

 

[whisp&willow]

Well she looks lovely, good luck and enjoy her!

 

[pip_dog]

And you. What sort of stuff you get up to over there?

 

[whisp&willow]

Not much! We are about 80 miles from the nearest shows/events.

I used to go to a few shows with whisper when I was younger, but she doesn't really fit into any showing classes very well, and is rather mareish when it comes to jumping- if she was in a good mood then fine, otherwise forget it!

The plan with willow is to hopefully do a bit of showing (hoping working hunter) and anything else we can make it to.

Bit of a hike to get anywhere though, so we'll just have to see!

for the most part I just use whisp for hacking and do the odd bit of schooling. Again, she tends to spit the dummy a lot, so dont do too much in the school. Hopefully Willow will be a bit more biddable than her mother!

How about you? Much going on in Shetland? xx

 

[pip_dog]

There's a few shows. Haven't been in years as I retired my old welsh so didn't ride for ages. We had him Pts last year. And despite my initial thoughts. Sandy came along! Hoping to do the same with her. Whp. Maybe in hand. Just a trial run this year. Have a feeling xc might be a better option. She too can be a twit. Am happy hacking too. We haven't done much but looking forward to it. A few people travel south for some bigger shows. Maybe in a few years haha!
