About a year after we got her, she suffered a<br />
serious injury in the pasture. I was devastated<br />
because I wasn’t sure if I was ever going to be<br />
able to ride her again. Every day for 6 months I<br />
went to the barn, cleaned her wound, and<br />
hand-grazed her in the pasture. I’ll never forget<br />
the day I was finally able to ride her again.<br />
Although we lost a year of riding time, the bond<br />
that Misty and I have is stronger because of the<br />
time I spent helping her recover from the injury.<br />
Sir Windsor<br />
2006 bay <strong>Arabian</strong> x Clydesdale gelding<br />
Highest Eventing Level: Preliminary<br />
Status: Currently competing<br />
Owner/Rider: Laura Del Ponte<br />
Sir Windsor is an <strong>Arabian</strong>/ Clydesdale cross.<br />
When I got him 4 years ago, neither of us had<br />
any Eventing experience. Since we have been<br />
together, we have successfully competed up to<br />
the Preliminary level and I hope to move him up<br />
to Intermediate soon.<br />

I started jumping her a little over a year ago<br />
and now we are starting to compete in Novice<br />
level events. I also took her to the Tryon<br />
International Equestrian Center for the US<br />
Pony Club Championships this past summer<br />
for show jumping, and I am going to try to<br />
qualify to go for eventing next year.<br />
I’m so thankful to have this horse in my life<br />
and I have no words to describe how much she<br />
means to me. She taught me how to be<br />
responsible, patient, and how to work hard for<br />
something I care about. I plan on taking her to<br />
college with me next year at The University of<br />
Findlay where we will compete on the varsity<br />
eventing team. Not only is Misty a one of a kind<br />
horse, but she’s my best friend and I can’t wait<br />
to see how far we will go in the years to come.<br />
His <strong>Arabian</strong><br />
breeding has<br />
definitely<br />
helped him<br />
become such a<br />
fantastic<br />
athlete. I have<br />
never met a<br />
horse better<br />
built for cross<br />
country than<br />
he is.<br />
The combination of his intelligence, quick<br />
footedness, carefulness, and boldness make<br />
him the ideal cross country and show jumping<br />
horse. The loyalty that he shows and how much<br />
he tries for me has given me a relationship with<br />
a horse stronger than any other relationship I<br />
have known.<br />
