Hi, my name is Louise and I live in New Zealand.
I own an 18.2hh 5 year old grey/white pinto geilding that I broke in and have schooled myself - his name is Pintado Taihoa (or Tai for short).
I mainly event, but with Tai being young and still growing I have been showing him and competing him inhand as a pinto. I have a grooming obsession and am slightly OCD about keeping Tai white

I break in, and school young horses for a living which I absolutely LOVE!
Previously I schooled my horse to OM dressage and CCI*** eventing but am now waiting for a kidney transplant so there goes that idea

Training with Bill Noble (a leading NZ dressage rider)

Competing inhand - what a poser!

And this one just cos it amuses me - I'm 5'9" and he has grown since this photo

Welcome!
Your horse is adorable, but HUGE! I'm a chicken and I'm nervous on anything over 15.2h. You are quite brave lol. I'm sure he's good boy though.
