Ben is a pure bred Highland pony with very good breeding. We bought him when he was 10 years old and he was unschooled, unfit and out of condition. He had never been jumped and had very few manners. Over the last 3 and a half years we have speant a long time schooling him and teaching him to jump. But teaching a 10 year old the sort of thing you'd normally be teaching a 3 year old is not easy! He has done quite a few shows now and has won a few seconds and lower but we haven't managed a 1st yet! In the summer he was diagnosed with epilepcy so we have had a hard 6 months but hopefully he will be ok soon!
Achievements
Lots of family pony, M&M and dressage rosettes have been won over the years!
