Featured Horses name, age, how long owned, breed, sex?

Chester is a 6 year old coloured, gypsy cob, 13.2hh pony, I have had him 6 years.

 
Horses Likes? Chester loves being the centre of attention! Especially at shows and outings were there are even more people to look at and fuss him, he also loves his food especially lik-its

 
Horses Dislikes? When I stroke and fuss the other horses he gets really grumpy and nudges me until I look at him!
 
What are you working on at the moment?

Jack my 3 year old rising 4, has just been backed so he needs everything working on, I think we may need Carolyn’s help. Also I am starting to bring Sunny on to compete we will be working on our show jumping.
 
What's your Favourite horse item? At this time of year my brushes for removing mud, but the rest of the time Harry’s my 11.2hh ponies red driving harness its so cute!

 
What’s your favourite rider item? My jodhpurs which I got for my birthday, they are pink and say ‘TEAM Cantrill’ on my bum!

 
What would be top of your Dream Equestrian Shopping list!? A Grey 3 day eventer, who I could ride at Chatsworth and Badminton, and also an Equi-trek trailer which I could take it in!

 
Best Equestrian Moment? When I got reserve champion at the legup show in the summer! My 1st championship ever!

 
Worst Equestrian Moment? 2 moments come to mind.  When I was little I had just come off the lead rein with Harry, the weather was freezing and we were both grumpy, he threw me off 7 times and we were only out for about an hour, I had some bad bruises.  Also when I broke my leg falling of Chester after he had been backed about a year - ouch!

 

Aim?

 To get Jack my youngster going well in most fields of riding, and to reach intermediate/open show jumping level on Sunny.
