Horse Of The Week - Felix.

This is Follow The Stars, whose stable name is Felix. Felix is an Appaloosa X Cob and he stands at 16.1hh. He is 7 years old and Emily Catherall has owned Felix for just over a year and a half. Emily explains: “We bought Felix straight from the breeder as a 5-year-old, after he had been backed and turned away. He has been produced slowly by myself since then. So far, we have achieved the following: he has been placed in the top 3 at every Riding Club class he has entered, with fantastic comments from judges on his fantastic temperament and looks! Felix has been out competing in Dressage, never scoring less than 65% for Prelim tests and has recently started learning a few Novice level moves! Alongside this, Felix has been to the beach, and has been around farm rides proving incredibly brave over any fence.  He also loves a good hack, but only if we meet an ice cream van that he can poke his head into!” “Our plans for the future are to compete in some one day events, the first of which we are doing at Bold EC on the 17th September. I would also love to take Felix to some county shows in the next year or two as a Working Hunter. He is a complete gentleman in every way (some may say a princess) and he absolutely adores children! He will stop for any child, wherever we are and stick his head on the floor where they can reach to stroke his nose.” “Steady-Up Advance has given us both so much help when we go out competing and when I school at home. Due to Felix's naturally nosey personality he had a very small concentration span and I found it draining to keep his concentration! Though now we can happily go out to new places every month and he always knows he is there to work. Steady-Up Advance has been a godsend to us and I can't see myself getting rid of it for a long time! So, a huge thank you to all of the Feedmark team!” A FREE tub of Steady-Up Advance is on its way to Felix for being our Horse Of The Week! COULD YOUR HORSE BE THE NEXT HORSE OF THE WEEK?
