Boomer
Born in 1992, 15.2 hh Boomer has been at Limebrook since 1996. He was used in the riding school for 11 years. When the riding school closed Caroline, an ex-instructor at the school, took him on loan, and in her words, acquired her 'dream horse'.
Caroline wants to have as much fun as possible with Boomer, and plans to compete him in show jumping, cross country and dressage. Her main aim is to show him in Welsh Section D and Mountain and Moorland classes. She promises to keep us updated with news on how they are getting along!
When originally purchased this horse was bought with a companion. There was much haggling between seller and buyer over the price of these two steeds, and the horses were taken up and down the ramp whilst the price was lowered and raised again. With tongue in cheek the two horses were named Boomer (short for Boomerang) and Bungee! Bungee didn't prove suitable for the school and was sold on, but after a year of additional training Boomer was brought into the riding school where he has become a firm favourite!
Boomer does not like humans flapping things around him, and whilst he has improved tremendously as he has got older, riders in the school needed to dismount to take off their coats on a warm day. Nowadays he will tolerate a whip being moved from one hand to the other - but only in the summer! In the winter it is best to keep it at one side!
