I had a gorgeous chesnut mare, dutch warmblood that i jumped affiliated. Her name was Kwiria. She was fab and was great she never refused. I love jumping and she did too. I jumped 4'2" on her and I loosed jumped her and she cleared 5'2" no probs, she was amazing.
She alsways jumped even if I put her at it wrong, but she always had a paddy afterwards as if to say Hey come on be fair I can't do it on my own!!
I had to have her put down while I was on honey moon nearly 5 yrs ago as she had bone cancer. I loved her so much we had such a great partnership, she had been badly treated and would do anything for me. I have tears in my eyes just writting this.
( five years later!!!)
I would love to get another jumping horse but just worried that I would not have the same bond.
I know it takes alot of work and love to build a bond up and I am sure I could do it but it just seems wierd thinking about it.
I am sure it will happen one day. When I can get my scanner working I will post a photo of her.
