Tanya got another horse - BAD TANYA! (Pictures of her too!)

[RussianGirl]

Her name is Enanya, she is 4 years old, and a Don x TB. The jumping pictures are of her first proper course of jumps, and the first time she had been ridden around a large group of strange horses. She is a very sweet girl, with a wonderful temprement, she is very willing to please, and is a quick learner. As you will see from the pictures, she is very good at having baths, and also very good at getting dirty!
We will aim to be competing her at lower level of dressage for the winter series, and possibly continue jumping her. After a year or two training, we will either sell her on to a suitable home, or if she shows a lot of talent, we may keep her to compete ourselves.

I am picking her up on sunday, on my way back from a competition, where I am helping with the photography (Expect lots of pictures!)

Anyway, please, please, please remind me in the future, when I'm considering another youngster, that I really don't need any more horses!

Wrong - you DO need more young horses if they all look as nice as that one!

Im glad you think she's pretty; I personally think she's a stunner, but others say she's a bit plain! Anyway, next time I pull at 16 hour day, and I'm grumpy, it's your fault

She's stunning. Lucky you

She is quite pretty, maybe not the most flattering winter woollies though

I like Dons, they have plenty of presence

It might not look like it in the pictures, but when she was warming up before jumping, I swear everyone stopped to look. I'm going to try to get a video, because when she moves it really is captivating. (Can you tell I'm in love?)

You're so lucky, she's gorgeous! All your horses are, hope you have lots of fun with her! I want one horse goddammit :-(

You may have come to the wrong place if you want someone to tell you NOT to buy another horse - we are all very good at talking ourselves into that one lol

She is lovely, good luck with her, look forward to seeing more pictures

 

[MrsMozart]

having argued with the dizzy one this morning, I'd swap

 

[Madam_max]

Oh she's lovely. Excuse the ignorance, what is a Don?

 

[RussianGirl]

MM - thanks, Don is a Russian breed, more known as Budyenny (Russian spelling, Budyonny more Westernised) , which is too bigger word for my brain to comprehend at the moment!

Wow, she's stunning! My only experience of riding in Russia was in Sakhalin where I worked for six months. The only horses there were 15hh and under and a bit hairier than yours! They were great fun though, especially in the snow.

I'm jealous now, I want one...
