Smint

|
Believed TB x Connemara

Smint was originally purchased as a hunt horse and returned home when
circumstances changed at the kennels and she was surplus to requirements
there. She had proved a good hunt horse with a great jump and a
good temperament (she'd formerly hunted with the Wynnstay ridden by a 15
year old.)

The angle of this photo
disguises her great back-end but does emphasise her excellent shoulder
and length of rein.

She was an excellent
mother from the start,

Her colt showed very
stylish movement from the start and took virtually no 'handling' to be a
very friendly and inquisitive foal.
|
|
|
| As we've managed to
'accumulate' a few too many non-RID mares, we'd decided before we saw
Trebor that Smint would be returned to work and then be sold after
weaning. Watching Trebor develop into an exceptionally nice moving
colt made it very tempting to cover her again, but we managed to resist
the temptation and the plan is still to return her to work and find a
good home for her in the spring.

Well - that WAS the plan. But
Smint has now returned to the kennels to help the kennel lad make the
transition to whipper-in! Here she is giving him a first jumping
lesson!

Trebor (rear) is relaxing in the field with his
two buddies, Quicksilver (ISH gelding in front) and Thornton (ID colt-
