And hello to J and Milly (Mouse)
Let’s say hello to J and Milly (Mouse). Not to be confused with (Chilli) Milly from last week!
Milly (Mouse) is another polocrosse superstar, and she has the runs on the board to back it up. Milly (Mouse) has stepped up (or down) to the challenge of becoming a kids horse, and apart from the odd little joie de vivre has become a special part of the family.
Let’s meet R and (Chilli) Milly
Why Chilli Milly you ask? Because there are two Milly’s in this family, and Chilli Milly is from the spicy line.
While by a particularly hot Australian Stock Horse, Chilli Milly has taken a bit from her dam’s quarter horse side and is the perfect kids first polocrosse horse… and mum.
The latest edition
With nothing to ride and a new farm to call home, I started the search for a new horse, this time specifically for a lusitano or andalusian. With my ambitions aligned to classical as opposed to competition dressage, and being all of five foot, the Iberian breeds seemed better suited. The search started and ended pretty quickly, and I brought a new horse horse to meet a paddock of misfits.
He’s a Lemon
“He’s a Lemon!”. Yep, that’s what my husband said as we stood at the vet clinic looking at my meticulously planned and long awaited foal that had just been born.
Audrey went in first insemination and I watched this embryo and Audrey’s belly grow until little Lemon finally arrived.
My sweetest Daudy Belle
Oh Audrey, where do I start?!
I bought Audrey as a then 2yo as my first “proper“ dressage horse to train right from the beginning. Us two novices worked it out together and our ridden journey began. You had to be 100% focused working with Audrey, she was a primadonna in every sense of the word. She wore her heart on her sleeve and overthought e.v.e.r.y.thing.
