My Horses

So, here are the horses that are starting the 2008 season with Polly and Meike. Again, there has been some coming and going over the "close season" months, and there are a dozen or so horses being competed at the moment, either for Polly to take through to the high levels, or to be developed for other riders to enjoy.

On this page Polly gives us the inside track on what all her horses are like to ride, their details and history along with a few of her favourite photos.

After a first year spent adjusting to our English weather from his previous Aussie home, Dick is starting his second season at Kinoulton, the most experienced horse on the yard, and aimed at Badminton this May. He can look grumpy, but he's a real softy at heart!

<< Limestone Rise

Two for Joy : Syd

Stable Name: Syd

Syd is now retired from eventing, but still "playing" with Polly. He is a big softie who Polly took on at the age of 9 after he had been written off due to tendon injuries. He gave Polly a fantastic chapter to her 4* career competing in nine 4* events back to back, and he will always occupy a very special place in here heart.

Stable Name: Percy

Percy has also reached the end of his top level competition, and he retires having represented Great Britain at the Blenheim Europeans in 2005. He is still a very cheeky chap, a little horse with a big personality, and Polly is hopeful that he can still stay in competition with a young rider.
