I set about trying various horses and just when I had all but given up on the idea of finding a horse that I could bond with, the way that I had with my pony Bacchus, along came “Moo”.

Moo is a 7 year old SA Warmblood mare. She was bred by Pohland’s stud. Her sire is Colourful Secret (thb) and her sire is Milan (imp w/b). When she was 3yrs old she left the stud and went to JHB to Rogan Asken. She never grew quite big enough for Rogan to compete with, she is only 16HH, and was thus put on the market.

I have owned Moo for the past month and a half. She is extremely playful and has a lot of spunk. Her movement is stunning and she is a keen jumper. Even though I really enjoy jumping (and so does Moo), I have decided to compete in equitation and dressage this year as well so that we can get to know each other in a competitive environment without much pressure.

Thank-you Beryl for sponsoring Moo. She will be using Sporthorse Mix and we will be keeping some Calm mix close at hand just in case we have some mare-ish moments.
