A simple portrait of Prinsen, one my all time favourite horses. I used to help look after him a couple of years ago. He was a warmblood trotter that had been schooled as a riding horse.
Photos genuinely don’t do justice to how pretty she is, she looks like she stepped off the front page of the NZH&P show mag 😭
Ran around for barely 30 seconds (Gem was of course doing The Most™️) and then settled down pretty much immediately - only a tiny bit of squealing to start off with, but they were all happy when I left them tonight!
Pixie was the very first to greet Molly and followed her round the paddock like a puppy but once the big girls met she had enough sense to stay away 😅
Will give Molly tomorrow off to decompress and settle in and potentially ride her on Saturday!
This finely turned Standardbred filly is exceptionally well-bred and is being groomed for a life on the harness racing ovals. Her dam is famous as producer of quality performers, both in the show ring and on the track.
