I'm a 15 year old Dutch Warmblood horse called Kye. This is the diary of my 12 month journey to completing a BE80 One Day Event for the "Wobbleberry Challenge" in aid of the "Willberry The Wonder Pony" charity set up by the inspirational late Hannah Francis. Sadly, I can't do it alone, so I have to be handicapped, I mean accompanied by my incredibly wimpy human Tracy Brett, she's the Wobbleberry i
n the duo. She's nicknamed me The Hobbleberry as I have a condition called navicular which basically means I've got poorly feet so I have to be a bit careful what I do (...and I cost her oodles of money on very special shoes..Hurrah!). But when my human told me what Hannah went through during her battle with cancer, and the charity she left as her legacy, we couldn't wait to sign up and start raising some money to do our bit for
My human is doing a private diary but I thought I'd set up a public page of our "journey" over the next 12 months. It's going to be a challenge, for sure, she's an incredible wimp who wraps me in cotton wool, she's terrified of EVERYTHING, especially if it involves riding off of a perfectly even surface out of walk, involves a corner she can't see round, and she hasn't let me do so much as a trotting pole for 18 months. She says that every day is a challenge where I'm concerned which makes me very proud, I like to keep her on her toes. She has a serious sense of humour failure with my constant field and shoe removal antics...oh and she says I keep her poor.....very poor...
We've been together for 9 years and we've had some scary times, I nearly passed over the Rainbow Bridge 3 years ago during not 1 but 2 life saving operations (I don't do things by halves ;-) !), we've had some tough times but we've had amazing times together too. She has taken out shares in "Nice and Easy" hair dye and Kleenex (...she cries...a lot...) since she's known me but I know she adores me really, who wouldn't??!! We are a team, I'm her Hobbleberry, and she's my Wobbleberry and we are Nothing If Not Determined :-)
