Angela Wilson who won both the Walk Only league and Walk Only Liberty League with Itzy Bitzy would like to honour this wonderful pony with a special Walk Only award which recognised hard work, effort and improvement in a pair who could compete only at Walk.
Angela says:
When Itzy Bitzy came into my life it soon became apparent she had many health issues both physical and mental.
Following a diagnosis of PPID and after falling twice she slowly started to move less and less and I feared for her well being – she didn’t want to be touched and struggled to move her back end easily. It was becoming a challenge to keep her healthy and active.
I began clicker training and then started Horse Agility. Slowly she became easier to handle, happier and more mobile. Our relationship blossomed and became something very special. We developed a connection! We loved the challenge of learning something new every month.
I will always remember our first rosette and how proud I was of her. I am truly grateful for the gift of Horse Agility – it helped create a deep bond between us and allowed Itzy Bitzy to reveal what a truly kind and clever pony she was.’
Congratulations to our 2023 Winners Sabrina Doidge and Putwell Sidan GB
