We are absolutely thrilled to announce the addition of two horses to our team.  Eddie and Boxer come to us from the stables of Judith, our Coach. Boxer is a little black pony and Eddie is a Palomino

 

Boxer is a big pony in a small package. He has interesting parents, being half Shetland and half Clydesdale, is 21 years young and was born on Boxing day, hence the name. (Not because he is a thug, although at times that would be appropriate too) Boxer has been a valued member of my riding school for the past 4 years and is quite the character. He is known to throw his feed bucket at you, if he thinks he is not getting the attention his cuteness deserves, and can smell a treat from a mile away. If Boxer wants to go somewhere, he can be quite determined, so leaders need to have their heads in the game. You may notice that Boxer wears a red ribbon on his tail. This is just to remind everyone that he values his personal space.

I’m quite sure that he will be a favourite with riders and volunteers alike.
