Very proud of daughter :)

[Welshie Squisher]

Hey all,

Well over the past year I posted repeatedly about the problems we had with Billy (the coloured in my sig). To cut a long storie short, he wasn't the horse I supposedly bought, turned out to be barely 4 and just backed and he was supposed to be a confidence giver for me

6 months later my daughter took over at the age of 9, then spent the next year educating him the best she could and dealing with his teenage tantrum phase.

She's still only 10, he's 14.3hh and still only 5 (6 soon)

I am so proud of my daughter, she and Billy have cracked it, all the hard work and tears were worth it.
She absolutely loves this boy, and you'll see why in the video.

Posting for no other reason than being a very proud Mum and to show perseverance pays off!

Be very proud of Billy too! He looks a total sweetie

Oh I am Tickles, he's tured out fab and my gut feeling always was there was a good pony dying to get out!
At his worst he could nap for britain and evaded work by rearing, running up the school banks, bucking, he would tank off and all sorts, I almost gave up and sold him

Hard to believe now, he'll take her anywhere and his ears are pricked and he strides forward
Also loving learning to jump, he's so much better just 2 weeks on from taking these vids

Aww he looks fantastic with your daughter!!

Have to say you are very brave having put your daughter on him if he behaved like that!! Glad to see they are both safe and sound and getting on so well!!

Moomin1, I pulled her off many a time and wanted to get shot but she was having none of it
We got help, a good instructor who pointed out that he was very naughty but not dangerous. He was never dangerous because everything was at Billy's can't really be arsed speed
Even at his worst, he wasn't nasty, just cheeky and was being a teenager.

A brilliant result. Well done!
