Achievements:
I’m really proud to have educated our brumby pony, who was able to be sold on as a beginners pony. When we got him, he was only at a walk/trot level, and I worked with him for four years teaching him everything. My sister rode him as a beginner and I worked on his manners, his paces, taking him out and competing. I taught him to jump to 90cm. We sold him this year and he is now.
