Let me introduce Troy (aka. JetSet Rebel)
Troy is my homebred yearling out of my own Irish mare (Hollinhurst Rebel) by Pro-Set. He was born on 12th March 2007 at 10am after fourteen nights of me staying in a caravan!!!
I have documented his first year in his dam’s blog (http://hollinhurst-rebel.blogspot.com) but I thought he now deserved his own blog as he is growing up...
Currently, he is living out near to End House Stud with two other yearlings, one of which is my good friend’s colt, Morris. They all seem very happy, chilled out and are enjoying their ‘being boys’ time. He spent a lot of time with his dam until he was 6 months because I was on a livery yard where there were no suitable companions, so when I had the option of allowing him time with his peers, I jumped at the chance!
He will be staying where he is until October, when he will be going over to Grace’s breeder (http://graceful-addiction.blogspot.com) to winter out. I do not want him stabled until he nears his third birthday when he will come home to be backed and hopefully start his dressage career as a four year old. I would love to be able to take him to the young horses classes, but for now I will wait and see how he takes to the beginning of his education.
Although he is eligible for the BEF classes, I do not think I am going to take him in August as initially planned because I do not have the facilities where he is to start training him to trot in hand and loose school (which is now required). However, if I can find somewhere for him to go for a few weeks that has these facilities, then I would very much like to see what the judges think of him!
