Lauren's Horses...

Due to his size, he is being worked slowly and being given time to mature. He has been backed and is working well under saddle, ready to start his career later in 2010. His personality is really starting to develop and he is very well behaved.

After losing her advanced horse, Lauren wanted to get something closley related. In late 2009, Heidi became part of the family. She has amazing paces and is lovely to have around the yard. High hopes are carried for this little filly. She spends a lot of time playing, grazing and being allowed to mature natually. Photo with her mum.

Haggis is a very cute and friendly shetland pony! He is our yard mascot and friend to Heidi. Bags of personality and even a few tricks, maybe not passage but he does say please on command!

He doesn't know he is as old as the ark, he thinks that size isn't everything and no one has told him he's been gelded! At our old yard he lived free range, bringing himself to the feed room for his dinner!

(All fiction... but don't tell him that!)

Dori was purchased from Vechta as a 4yo. This was Laurens horse of a lifetime and she misses him greatly. With a massive personality and a competition record to match he was truly unique and will be remembered by all who knew him.

Lauren taught him everything he knew. This photo was taken at the 2009 nationals, which would be his final competition. Soon after returning from Hartpury, he became ataxic and upon investigation a lesion was found on his cervical vertebrae. After much treatment, it was decided he should return home and retire to grass. Dori spent eight happy weeks eating grass and making friends in the field before taking a turn for the worse. Dori was put to sleep on Friday 14th August 2009.

A true great.
