Many thanks to Lou who saw the potential is Hero and has produced him to be one of the most successful young dressage ponies in Victoria.
In between competitions, Lou’s young daughter rides and enjoys Hero who goes into ‘kid’s pony’ mode for her. Click here to contact Lou
Mithril Horatio
Sire: Coed Coch Llabed (Imp UK)
Dam: Mithril Hester
SOD: Fairway Skyline
Rider and Trainer - Melanie Wu
Melanie saw the promise in Horatio when he was just a few weeks old and has patiently brought him along. He is now being ridden by another talented young rider.
At the TTT HT 2011, Horatio won his section on his dressage score (in first place all the way) and double clear meant he finished up in 1st.
Cara was over the moon.

Stephanie was started under saddle by Kasey Tozer, who trained and rode her to win a Welsh Hunter class at the Victorian All Welsh.
Lauren Gretgrix competed with Steph in dressage and also did some jumping with her - top photo - Steph and Lauren competing in the Working Hunter at the Victorian All Welsh Show - photo: Delwyn Moss.
Stephanie is now on lease to Amy, who is eventing and jumping her.
Steph will eventually return to Mithril and join the brood mare band.
Mithril Harriet Houdini
Sire: Coed Coch Llabed (Imp UK)
Dam: Mithril Hester
SOD: Fairway Skyline
Harriet is one of our favourite ponies - all who have dealings with her come to love her.
Mel Wu rode her when she was first started, then she was leased to Erin with whom she formed a wonderful partnership.
Erin’s legs eventually grew too long, and so Harriet now lives with Megan. She has learnt some new things at Megan’s, including how to deal with a ‘horse ball’.
Harriet has been sold to the Vistarini Family and, now that Megan’s legs are getting too long for her, she is being ridden by Lachlan and sometimes does a turn for Mum, Karen.
