Laxton Hijacked - "Jack"

17.2hh Shire x Tb,

D.O.B. 1997

Jack was bought as a backed and turned away 5 year old.  He started dressage "as a joke" and went  training with Allison Clarke, being big clumsy and not even able to trot around the arena never mind canter!! 

Gradually he started to find the movements much easier and started his competitive career.  He went quite quickly to doing very well at elementary.

He has had some time off really due to time and his results will appear again once he is back in work and competing again!!!

He is a really lovely person and a pleasure to have about - being a real big softy!!!
