Royal Polly Pocket

Polly is an ex-race horse and from the day she arrived has been very quirky. She is a typical mare and always had to be persuaded that what I needed her to do was her idea.

She enjoyed jumping and dressage, but only when she wanted to. She was good at roadwork hacking, but would loose her head if taken into an open field. She hates getting her feet wet.

When I injured my knee and needed surgery, I made the decision to put her in foal with Opposition Bombshell, as I was unable to ride for quite a while, and I needed two fully functioning legs to stay on her. She was an amazing mum to Dash, and when she came back into work she was better than ever.

Sadly, in 2020 she started showing some new behaviors which made me feel that something wasn't quite right. she was checked over by my Vet and Physio, and after doing some x-rays of her back she was diagnosed with Kissing Spines and had to be retired. She is now enjoying her time in the field with Lilly, and keeping her 'children' in line.
