Hey. So I'm planning for this to be a place to show off my pony, Niels. He's a haflinger, and I'm really only just discovering him despite having him for 3 years. I have quite bad nerves, I couldn't even hack him out 3 months ago, we're a lot better now though and I want to push myself and him some more.

This summer I'm going to be competing more with him, hopefully do a mini one day event towards the end. We've only ever competed at low level dressage, so I don't have much experience with any other types of competing. Try not to laugh at me!

I live quite a long way from him so the posts will come up as and when I go back to see him and my family. In the mean time my parents ride him so they've been keeping him nice and fit!
