Show rider Lizzie Briant's first blog



The ponies that were shown last season from my yard all have a well deserved rest over the winter period when they can live as naturally as possible without rugs etc.

My open pony for this season is Guards Jester, a nine year old, Fell stallion who is jointly by Myself and Paul Saunders. I intend competing him in HOYS, Royal International and Olympia qualifiers, he is a great little pony with lots of character and presence.

I brought Jester back into work in January, he loves being ridden and groomed and strapped everyday. He loves attention and although he is used at stud has no problem sharing the lorry with a mare. Jester is turned out everyday and loves his playtime and likes nothing better than hacking out with my friends on their eventers and has no problem keeping up.

Watch this space to see how Jester goes over the season...
