Hi all. Just introducing myself and my horses. I love training and learning and I have a rather large kwpn who I have owned since he was 4. He is incredibly sensitive and is teaching me more than I ever thought there was to know! I suffered a massive confidence crisis not long after I had backed him, but I have persevered and with help from a wonderful coach I feel a real bond with this horse. He will be 12 this year and I know he has more to teach me yet. He is bred for dressage and my initial aim was to train him to GP and ride amazing freestyle tests(I am a musician.) However, his views are now more important to me and he was not enjoying the pressure of schooling(he doesn't like hacking either!) So we are now doing very basic, easy stuff out hacking, some bridleless stuff and groundwork.
Because I moved from a livery yard to my own place, it was necessary to get a companion. I decided to get another youngster and found a pretty, totally unhandled 6 month old filly. She is highly trainable, very bright and rather cheeky! I began her training the day she arrived so when I finally officially backed her last summer it was a doddle. I would like to do working equitation with her, but having learned from my other horse,I need to be patient and only pursue stuff that she enjoys too........I have a feeling she is going to prefer doing long distance rides because she is nosey and loves exploring!
