This is one of my five year olds, Labyrinth IHF.

Although he is a little too short to be my dream horse, he is so well connected and conformed naturally that he wants to perform more challenging movements already.

My win is that he gave me a clean change yesterday (when trying a counter canter pattern, of course).

I am working hard to show the Five Year Old test with him this year and hoping to gain more opportunities as a young horse rider.

Fun Fact: I broke my wrist starting him! We grew through fear and connect now more than ever, using many techniques trainers at NF+ have taught me. Now, he really has decided his job is fun, has found his balance without ducking behind vertical, and I know he will make an amateur so happy once he has more miles under his belt.

His enthusiasm and talent is a fun new challenge for me!
