Horse Of The Week - Tornado Tilly.

Meet Tornado Tilly, a 9-year-old Dartmoor Hill Pony. She is 11.3hh and has been owned by Kelly Faulkner and her family for six years. Kelly explains: “Tilly was bought for us by the in-laws as a project, and she was only semi-backed.”   “Tilly is mainly our Show Jumping Pony, but this year my youngest daughter Caitlin has had a lot of success in Dressage which has won her the points league at Codham Park Equestrian Centre. Tilly and Caitlin have also had a win in their first ever workers class, and they do well in Young Handler as they are both so cheeky. Tilly has also competed in Jumpcross, and is generally an all-round superstar!” “We were recently at the Equine Sports UK Championships, as Tilly and Caitlin had qualified to do the 60cm and 65cm Championship Showjumping. They jumped on the Saturday and qualified for Grand Prix on the Sunday, where they came 3^rd and 5^th overall. Whilst we were there, Caitlin and Tilly competed in the Young Handler and came 2^nd, qualifying for the Championship where they placed 3^rd overall.”   “Our future plans are to continue enjoying Tilly as much as we do now, and getting out to a variety of competitions as often as we can.”   “Tilly’s only problem was her disgusting habit of eating her boyfriend’s poo when out in the field with him. Her boyfriend is Fudge (aka Jammy Dodger 2), an 11-year-old Thoroughbred cross Trotter. We discussed this with Feedmark, and they suggested that we feed BioPro to Tilly, to help support the bacteria in the hind gut.”   “Tilly has now stopped picking at Fudge’s poo, and is generally much happier and more settled.” A FREE tub of BioPro is on its way to Tornado Tilly for being our Horse Of The Week!   COULD YOUR HORSE BE THE NEXT HORSE OF THE WEEK?
