Horse Of Week - Yorkshire Lass.

Meet Yorkshire Lass, a Thoroughbred who turned 29-years-old in April. Yorkie stands at 15.3hh and is now retired from work. “Yorkie has had many achievements in the past, in show jumping and cross country. She has also given me two fabulous foals, one with whom I went on to do Novice level dressage. The other foal from Yorkie, excelled at showing and at jumping” explains Yorkie’s owner of over 25 years, Lynda Hammond-Lawrance. “Yorkie came out of racing at three-and-a-half years old, and came to myself at four years old. I worked with her to slow everything down, and to relax her into her new job. This did take some time, but finally we had some success and she was excellent to hack out.  She could often be ‘giddy’ at shows but she did her job well. She just loved cross country, and never let me down at a jump!” “In the past three years Yorkie has had lots of problems. Then, a freak accident on the fence this January resulted in Yorkie having her right eye removed. She has adapted very well, and has always been an excellent patient. We still walk her out in hand, but now her job in life is to babysit the foals.” Yorkie, with her friend Robyn. Robyn was her last lightweight rider who still visits her almost every day![/caption] “From almost day one, Feedmark products have helped us along our path in life together.
