Sky's True Illusion - SebSeb is my 15.1hh, 7 year old, Trakhner, bay, gelding. I have had him since he was 4 years old after a friend of a friend hadn't got enough time to bring him on to his full potential so wanted me to ride him! After first of all saying no and passing him on to a friend, my mum kept asking me to show her pictures of him, after saying "Aww, he is so sweet" and "Look at his face!" we went to ride him and decided to take him as a project.
We have had Seb around 4 and a bit years and together we have gone from finishing a 60cm one day event to finishing our first season of BE100! He has been far from easy with at first only knowing the basic paces, with no bend or balance he has grown up and taken on the real life of an eventer. Seb's career at the moment looks limitless, with no effort being made for 100cm show jumping and his dressage improving all the time he really is going to be one to watch for the future! 2016 brought us 3/5 top 10 placings at BE90 and the move up to 100cm show jumping! Seb really has given me back the confidence I had lost with Woody, and has let me get onto the disciple of a one day event that I really love, the cross country! 2017 saw the successful move up to BE100 and BE100u18's. With two dressage scores sub-30 percent with a 26.8% and 24.8% as well as a 100% clear cross country record. Together we had 4 top ten placings and 8/11 top 20 placings. |
