Willy's First Competition

[Peter Ryan]

Willy did his first dressage competition today and while he settled well early some trotters (horse and carts) were training over the next paddock. The first test did not go well but he got through it. He was last but learned a lot.

We managed to settle him for the second test and he was a little star coming equal first with a very high score.

With that portrait you've captured what I would call the 'character' of the horse. You can almost hear it saying, "Thank you. Yes I am wonderful".

[Peter Ryan]

Thanks Donald. He is a special friend. I have been handling him since he was 6 months old.

Congrats to Willy, his rider and trainers. That is an excellent report from a first show! Lovely, lovely photographs, too

Hi Peter

The portrait is just great. Like Donald said, it shows us his character. I wouldn't mind meeting him one day.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I was at a market today and Stef gave him a casual ride, no lessons today.

I start the hay loft renovations next week Raylee so after Christmas you and James should call up to Kyneton when in Melbourne. You can meet Willy and there are some great photographic opportunities up this way.
