Debbie McDonald talks about training: “The biggest part of my coaching was in Germany with Klaus Balkenhol. What I love about Klaus is that he knows exactly when to back off, when he knows a horse has maybe had enough for the day. He never over-does a horse. He passed that on to me very strongly, it’s important to know your horse well and to be fair, yet firm enough and reactive, so you can be a person that doesn’t have to ride with strength. I’m only five foot and I rode some big horses in my life and it is a matter of making sure you have that right sensitivity and reaction, then it doesn’t take the strength.”

Super horse easy to ride 👌👌

Millie is a stunning 15.2hh 4yo Clyde x Thb Mare that is very straight forward on the flat and over fences. She is rhythmical and rideable in dressage, show jumping and cross country. She also hacks out very well! She could excel in any discipline and would be ideal for a young rider or petite adult amateur. www.jessicaphoenix.ca
