Funny moment: When breaking him in and doing it bare back and getting the dogs to run underneath him, and he didn't even care.
Favourite food: Tea time (Hard feed)
Habits good or bad: Chewing everything he can get hold of!
Memorable moment with Him: Getting champion novice pinto at this years Christchurch show.
How long you have been into pintos: Had a wee pinto pony when I was about 6 or 7, then carry on with welsh and riding ponies until I was 17 then went to a TB, then had a break from riding. Then brought my 1st pinto horse Diesel when we moved to Mt Somers to this farm and Diesel was wasting in a paddock and was wild. I brought him to break in and ride round the farm, but he seem to like jumping so got into competing again. Then decided to buy his half brother Petrol, and now with my husband getting into show jumping we now have 5 pintos in our paddock!
Why you decided on a pinto: They are different, than the boring old one coloured horses and most are great jumpers!
What you plan to use him for later on: Show jumping and alot of trekking.
Favoured discipline: Show jumping
Best equestrian moment yourself: When I was about 13 jumping my welsh pony at Tinwald Pony club show and came off and landed on a jump and was winded and when i came right got back on and finished the round and ended up winning the class.
