I was born in 1984, have two brother
and I live in North-Holland. About age
of ten, we moved and I went on riding,
it was the beginning of my love for horses.
It soon became I fall in love of pony, Thijs.
After a couple of months my parents baught
Thijs. A very sweet, quiet,
well behaved pony, with a
golden heart. Soon I was
riding dressage and over the
years we came to the M1.
Because he is a trotter, he
had trouble with the gallop.
This resulted, as I rose
higher, more and more
problems. Eventually we
decided to Thijs to rest and
to look for a real dressage
pony. Soon we found a good
place for Thijs.This
cleared the way for a new
pony, Lucky. And what a
pony! A great body and
excellent movements. We soon
found out that it is a pony
with a lot of stress and
problems. We had to start in
the Class M1, because he had
started with his previous
owner in ZZ. I could write a
book about him, what we have
lived through with him. That
was not always easy.
Fortunately we have also
great moments with him, as
fourth in the Dutch
Championship in the first
class M1 and many beautiful
prizes. It was not all gold
that glittered, from disease
to terrible events and
terrible results. We try
everything to calm him down
and investigated why he was
so difficult, like a another
saddle, physiotherapist,
change trainer, homeopathic
remedies, change box, change
bit, change food. And so I
could go on…
Lucky is now sold a couple of
times. And Thijs? Which is now on
the opposite side of the country and
fully enjoy his old age! Recently we
have visited Thijs and he have great
home! |
