Master Felix – my new horse!
Well, I could argue the reasons for needing another horse but you are all probably well versed in such arguments. A girl can never have too many ponies. Fact. Master Felix “Felix” arrived just under a week ago in a haze of speed. I hadn’t even considered having another one 48hrs before he arrived. Felix has been given to me for the remaining event season to gain some experience on some larger tracks. What fun! I have already registered him and now have a full competition plan from now till November! Possibly a little too excited there. ops….
Felix is 14 years old by the stallion Crackerjack. He’s been Advanced eventing and competed at 3 star level so really knows his job. I really really am a very lucky girl who’s finally been given a break. It’s been 20 years in the making!
These recent events have however brought forward some tough decisions. The time has come for me to pass the reins over on my hooligan veteran Rory to another rider. I am very fortunate to have really good friends and Rory will be going to one of these. There will be tears but the enjoyment that someone else will get from riding and competing him will make it worth it. I have been given a fantastic opportunity and I feel it only right to pass a similar opportunity on.
Zoe is here to stay for the meantime. After all, you can’t sell a horse that keeps winning for you? Can you? If the right home and rider came along then maybe. Oh the love of a horse!
Bye for now xx
