Tommy. No words can describe the bond we had between us, he was ultimately my equine best friend. ‘Tinkle T’ was born on 02/04/00 and came to me as an unruly, out of proportion gangly 2 yr old! My mother had great hopes for him, being Serena’s younger brother, Tom Tom had very different ideas! He was to be my first development project as was only lightly backed. After a year of tantrums (all from me!) he started to turn into the awesome horse that so many new and loved. His first competition we went straight in for the All-Around, I was extremely nervous after Serena’s successes we had a lot to live up to! However much to my surprise he pulled it out the bag and won every single class!

Tinkle T and I showed in every division over the years (youth, amateur and open) and he won All-Arounds in each one and numerous titles. After 2007 we always did one show a year just for fun, with myself or with one of my clients. He then went on to become the best lesson and demo horses I have ever had and has taught so many of my clients from 6 years old right the way up to the age of 79! He was so kind and loving and always wanted to please, despite his height he would have sat on your lap given a chance! He really was the ultimate ‘BIG FRIENDLY GIANT’ with a huge personality and heart, loved by everyone who had the chance to meet and interact with him. True love and respect for this ‘once in a lifetime’ horse
