Horses
Names: Dillon (The Liquorice Kid)
Your
Name: Ailsa
Horses
Ages: 8
Breed:
TB x Connemara
Height:
15.1hh
How
long have you had your horse?: 7 months
What
is the best thing about your horse?: He’s
a real star! He’s lovely in all aspects –
gentle, cuddly, mannerly and very easy going, but
rises to the occasion when out competing! Everyone
at the yard loves him.
What
is the worst thing about your horse?: His attention
span! He’s got the concentration of a toddler,
so you really have to work hard to keep him listening
to you.
Do
you and your horse compete? Yes! Since I got him
in the spring we’ve done a huge number of hunter
trials, some show jumping and some unaffiliated eventing
and he’s been placed in nearly everything. He’s
moved up from nursery level to open classes in that
space of time. I hope to do some affiliated eventing
on him next season once we’ve spent the winter
working on the dressage (which we both hate!).
Overall
thoughts about your horse: It took a long time
to find him, but it’s been worth the wait. After
a series of ups and downs with previous horses, I’ve
finally found my perfect chap. We’ve done so
much together in the last seven months and have had
so much fun!
