I would like to nominate Leica Shimma Mizz-ella for Steed of The Week. I got her for my 9th birthday, she was 18 months old. My sisters helped me break her but she doesn't like them so I had to train her and learn at the same time together.
My name is Danielle and we call her Elle for short. So she is really like my other half. This was her second horse show. She jumped everything ( except the water). We shocked my mum and sisters who thought if she stayed tied up to the float we were on a good wicket with her. We even placed in every round.
She lives up to her breeding. Arab riding pony. I am really grateful we got her so young because we didn't have to pay so much for her. But I have eaten plenty of dirt because of our learning curbs. I love her to pieces. I hope I can ride her for another few years yet. She is 4 now and I am 12. She loves swimming in the river and being hosed. She doesn't like my big sisters (they're bossy). She doesn't like people that are taller than her but that's because I have done nearly everything with her myself.
Thank you for sharing my pony with others. I love this idea and enjoy seeing other kids with their loved horses also.
