Horse Of The Week - Simmy.

Our new Horse Of The Week is Simmy, an 18-year-old Welsh Section B pony who belongs to Andrea Nicholson. Andrea told us: “Desarbre Scimtar (Simmy) came to me on loan to cover 2 of my mares seven years ago. He was due to return to his owner in France the following February. During that year, he totally won my heart as the kindest, most biddable pony ever.” “He never went back, as my lovely husband bought him for my 60th birthday! He had spent most of his life covering mares, although we knew he had been broken as a youngster and had been on loan as a ridden pony before coming to us. We decided to try putting him back into work, and he absolutely loved it!” “However, the years of running with mares had taken its toll, and he felt a bit flat and tired, so we started him on Feedmark's ExtraFlex HA with Rosehips, and he has never looked back! He loves his ridden showing and is never out of the ribbons. He won at the New Forest Show 3 years ago, and this year, aged eighteen, he returned to the show and was 7th in a huge class of much younger ponies. He also qualified for 2 finals at the NPS summer champs and again came away with good placings in Open ridden and Veteran classes. He still covers, and I currently have a beautiful yearling filly by him. He is sound, happy, and loves life. He plays with my yearling colt like a pony half his age. Here's hoping for many more years of the same!” A FREE 1.35kg tub of ExtraFlex HA with Rosehips is on it’s way to Simmy for being our Horse Of The Week!
