So, we got a new horse at the stables :)

He's called Viking Spirit and he's an ex racer! He's quite famous and has a very famous trainer.

His trainer...his trainer was Walter Swinburn, the Jockey who rode Shergar to win at Ascot!


Viking is a LOVELY horse to ride! He's perfect in traffic, doesn't spook or run off. His only vice is he's a tad strong for younger riders. I could cope and so can all the others who've ridden him, but after a while of cantering, it can make your arms ache :P hehe
He's also perfect to tack up and he's very friendly :)

I can't wait to ride him again! <3
