In the Tictac Equestrian office today we have been chatting about a post that we saw on Facebook that we thought would be nice to share with all of our customers. The post was by William Sheret, a British show jumper and trainer who we thought portrayed a very valid point with his post about how you don’t have to buy yourself success in the equestrian scene!
In his post, he writes about two little ponies that were both placed in the recent Pony of the Year Show in England. One of the ponies called Foxy Lady VI was bought from travellers for only £50! The other called Hole in One II was rescued from being sent for slaughter for not much more than that. He goes on to say that nobody should be moaning about how they cannot afford a horse to compete; “good horses are everywhere and money doesn’t always buy success!” He then praises their owners for rescuing them and “showing that a good eye and a little TLC can really pay off,” ending the post with “well done to the people involved with saving these ponies and giving them the chance to shine. You're a credit and an example to the sport” J
Do you agree with this great post? We think it is very true and a great motivator for people on a budget! I have personally known a lot of little horses bought for very little money giving horses bought for tens of thousands a run for their money! Do you have any views or stories you would like to share with our Tictac Equestrian team and our customers? We would love to hear from you J
