Have you met our boy Hughy?
Name: Hughy
Breed - Registered Australian Riding Pony
Colour - Chestnut with white blaze
Height - 14.1hh
Hughy is possibly one of the most handsome horses here at ValleyPark (don't tell him we said that) which is no surprise as prior to coming to us 4 years ago, he was a champion show and dressage horse!
Some highlights from his show career include:
- 300 points in the show ring
- 100 points in dressage
- multiple champtionship and highpoint awards won at Level 1 in the TTT show ring.
- He competed at Royal shows and also compted in Barastoc Dressage Pony of the Year in 2007.
- Placed in numerous dressage jackpots.
Hughy is a firm favourite amongst students wanting to refine their dressage skills. He works beautifully on the lunge meaning that our riders can concentrate on their position and technique under close instructor supervision, Hughy simply knows his job and does it brilliantly!
Hughy also loves to jump, and is a real hit in our annual eventing and combined training competitions.
