For the love of horses – by Boh and Amber Boyd
Boh’s love of horses started when she was about 18 months old. Her big sister, Eden, was having riding lessons at Wairakau Horse Treks and every time Eden went to get a horse, Boh would cry until we put her on. And so it began.
I am eleven years old and have been riding since I was five. My first pony was Possum. He is a grey (white) bush pony who loves the mud. I now ride Knight and I am starting to ride Lacie. These were my big sisters’ ponies. I have had many fun adventures on my ponies – jumping, swimming, doing tricks, trekking, beach rides, dress-ups, pony club and making friends.
My favourite thing to do is do high show jumps and fast jump offs (in showjumping competitions). My least favourite thing to do is dressage. This year I qualified for Horse of the Year in Hastings on my pony Knight. I didn’t get any placings but I had heaps of fun riding against some of the kids in NZ.
I am lucky enough to be part of the Mercury Bay Pony Club, where we learn lots about horses and do heaps of fun activities.
My goals for next year are to be show jumping my ponies to 1.10m and to get a placing at Horse of the Year.
