I now have 4 horses, Jasper, Gossip, Axel and Gemma.
Jasper is an 11 year old gelding and I got him 6 years ago as my first horse. He is a real sweetie and very genuine and brave. The photo's show us at home and us in action at a cross country event.
Jasper is now retired as he has arthritis in his near hind fetlock.
However, I also have Galley Gossip our ex-racehorse, yes we did race him, but he was not very brilliant or very bad, just average. I am now trying to get him fit to do long distance rides. I shall stick to the 25 milers to start with, but who knows...
This is a picture of him going past the winning post clear of the rest, unfortunately it is on the way to the start...
Here is a more recent piccy of him taken by Peter Orr in Cumbria when we were taking part in the Tebay long distance ride - we only did 15 miles, but we completed in 2 hours 10 minutes and he felt like he could easily do it again, so next year I'll do 25.
We also have a Shetland pony, bought for my son who then would not ride him! So I broke him to harness and here he is getting dressed and on the go. We are having great fun with our new venture. In case you're interested we bought out cart and harness from Bellcrown.
