Finn Again and Sophie Fois
Sophie on Finn Again
Finn is a 10 year old Irish Sports Horse standing 15.2hh. We got him at 5 years old and he was ridden for the first two years by Lauren before Sophie took over the reins. He has been a great first horse for both girls and they have enjoyed Pony Club, cross country, dressage and show jumping with him, the latter being his forte. After a hugely successful 2008 Sophie and Finn had a quiet 2009 owing to school studies, but have been out again this year. They qualifed for the second round Amateur Championships first time out and have come home with rosettes from evey competition since, proving they have not lost their touch.
He has a huge personality and really has become one of the family. Sophie has really outgrown him now but we are reluctant to part with him….the yard wouldn’t be the same without Finn. However, Sophie is probally off to Uni next year so if the right home came up….you never know.
