Lily
Lily is another little mare, standing only 15.2 hands and is 6 this year. She was bred by Sally and Tom Forster at Groomsbridge stud and is by Groomsbridge May I. She is about 7/8 TB.
She joined us at the end of October 2009 straight from stud, well handled but unbacked. She was a complete dude to start and was very relaxed about all her new experiences. The frost and snow stalled us but she was backed at the end of February 2010 and spent the rest of the year being slowly produced, progressing her flatwork and learning to jump.
After only two months work she won her first dressage test with 67% and in March 2011 had her second trip out, this time on grass, which she also won with 68%. She then had a quiet year as on and off she appeared uncomfortable, and has since been diagnosed with Kissing Spines. She is starting shockwave treatments, pessoa work and physio before being reassessed prior to increasing her workload or considering surgery. Fingers crossed that Lily gets to show the world what a star she is….
