Meet the horses: Dutchdream Spetter

Dutchdream Spetter (aka Spot) is my pony of a lifetime. He is an 11 year old British Spotted Pony standing at 13.3hh. He is truly the definition of an all rounder, teaching me how to ride from the age of 9, going to Pony Club rallies and camps, even trying polocrosse and taking to it amazingly and now, five years on from coming home, excelling at endurance, achieving FEI (international) qualifications over the past few years.

Spot is certainly not the easiest of ponies, but he is definitely the most rewarding. He has taken hard work, commitment, resilience and dedication but the pay off is always massive. Not to mention the riding he has taught me; how to sit a buck, how to ride a bolt and how to be confident in myself. Although I may moan about him or wish he would 'just behave' occasionally, I really wouldn't change him for the world as he has the largest heart, smartest brain and most loveable personality anyone could ask for.

Spot is well known on the Endurance circuit, often being referred too as, 'the spotty one,' due to his distinctive markings and unique shape. He has a large, muscly neck due to being gelded at an older age than most and therefore has a bold personality too. He has also features in Pony Mag on a few occasions as well as Endurance World Official and other promotional sites due to his well used photo of him going through the water at Euston Park.
