Woodstock Satin

Woodstock Satin is a 14.3 hands bay mare by "Wansdyke Woodstock" out of "Tumbleweed Tascosa". Her bloodlines include "Miss Rexette" who had many successes in open competition: jumping, hunter trials, dressage and one day event, also winning the first official Quarter Horse race in England when 13 years old. On her sire's side, "Rocky Mountain Zero" excelled at advanced eventing and was in the Irish Event Team. She also has the famous foundation sire "King". She was born in March 1990 and ridden for a time before becoming a broodmare.

She proved very sensible, especially when ridden along our motorway called the A470. We went out one day in some forestry near by and we had to pass a chap with a chainsaw on the side of the path, who hadn't seen us. I needn't have been concerned, she went past as if he wasn't there ... mind you, we did have to dodge a falling tree (only joking!) She has a gorgeous temperament, and is really solid and chunky.

This is a long time ago...1995!! Notice how the saddle miraculously changes half way through. I'd had absolutely no western riding experience at this point, hence me not knowing what to do with the miles and miles of rein!

She adores people and makes a nuisance of herself by planting herself right by any visitors to be made a fuss of.

Our nieces wanted a sit on during a visit recently so of course, she obliged.
