What makes my pet special is that he helped me overcome very tough times. I hated life, disliked myself, didn't trust anyone in this world, and then along came Sugar. We were searching for a horse for my mom and we found this pony tied to the trees. The owner of the horse told us he was for sale. My mom had me think for a little while. (At the time I had another horse, a dappled bay gelding, which I was slightly afraid of.) I finally decided to buy Sugar who was then four years of age (I was 10).
I had aggression problems. I was over-emotional and distrustful. Sugar didn't let me be that way. He would act the way I did and punish me with bites if I tried to be harsh. He changed me completely.
I also became a MUCH better rider. As Sugar only stands at 13.2hh people started to say I needed a better horse. We proved them WRONG. My 134cm pony gradually learned how to jump, at the same time teaching me. When Sugar competed for the first time in Show-jumping, my trainer - who didn't think Sugar was capable of jumping 10cm - was ASTONISHED! And then Sugar astonished a larger crowd. My whole stable was shocked when they found out my 134cm pony jumped 120cm (4ft!)!!!
My little pony/rural horse cross jumps higher than most of the horses in our stable! And we have such fun, I can tell he loves it, too! He is the best!
