So I suppose introductions are important...
Let's start with the old man, Archie. He's an OTTB, but if you were to look at his racing record (Bishops Virtue) you'd know he was, in fact, the racehorse who would not gallop. I'm convinced that in the ten years of owning this beastie, he has, not once galloped. At the young old age of seventeen, we entered him in a 70cm showjumping round, after years of barely getting his feet off the ground... with 5/10 poles and 20 penalties we are on track to become grandprix showjumpers. (For those who don't get the joke... well, it's a joke) The old man now enjoys a more quiet life of dressage up to elementary. Here's a picture of the fatty now.
Right, who's next... probably the beastliest of all the beasties... drum roll, please... Luna. We've had this little monster for nearly five years, now, and being a Heinz of all sorts and standing strong at 13.1hh, she is on the right road to becoming the tallest horse to have ever walked the planet. This little shit has had me in hospital nearly five times now and broke a child's arm, which nearly cost me my car <3. She was also entered in this recent 70cm, and it is also safe to say she will too be a grandprix showjumper. Over the recent weeks, she hasn't thrown anybody off, so you know what... progress. Without a doubt, the favourite of all the monsters. If anyone needs a child that needs disposing of, give this mare a call. (Don't tell them that) And I suppose we're gonna need a picture of her too.
And last but not least, Lady. My 16hh Irish mare, the one who is actually on track to become a grandprix showjumper. She's been perfect since day one, and is without a doubt, the golden child. Recently stepped up to 120cm, and now our first 1* event. This horse is impeccable in every way, giving us a wonderful dressage test every time, and consistently clears out XC. Showjumping is our downfall, but I suppose it's a good thing we're not showjumpers. I can actually hunt this one, too!
