Sit the Trot

Ok, I swear, I have no idea how it happened but it seems like I accidentally purchased a second pony! She is just wonderful! I won't bore you with the story of how I found her, but needless to say I kinda feel it was meant to be. She's a gorgeous Warmblood x TB mare, 18 years old and trained to PSG, she has the dance moves and is an amazing schoolmistress. I am slightly embarrassed to admit that yet again I brought a horse without riding it. Don't hate me! I have a gut feeling about these things and kinda go with it although I would never recommend this buying philosophy to anyone- it works for me... ok! She is teaching me so much. She has the most wonderfully trained and easiest changes but needs to be ridden properly through to get the best out of her and get her going uphill. I love riding her, she makes me smile every ride and challenges me in really good ways. I am so honored that her previous owner Janet trusted me to take care of her. What a lovely horse she is...

Willough! I found Willough a little by chance when I was actually looking for a temporary lease horse. At this time I wasn't sure how long Axel would be out for if at all but thought I might find a backup in case Axel is was off recovering from injury, surgery or anything. I heard about her and messaged her Mum. At first I wan't sure she'd be a match for me. She's a bit of a true mare and I love my gentle and human loving Axel. I waited, ummed and hawed and forgot about it for a short while. Then I got Axels diagnosis and knew he'd be off for a while. I had a chat with Sara and we talked about lease options etc. I mentioned this mare and Sara said that she thought it was worth pursuing. I got back in contact with her mum and then had Sara call her for an honest and truthful chat about the horse and my ability... after which Sara though it could be a really very good good match. Jump to this week and we had a superfast swing up North, to watch her lesson with Dol...
