Snickers
Clovelly Snickers is an Australian Stock Horse that we bought from Forbes. He is actually my mum's horse, but I have been competing on him for the last year while I have been horseless.
Snickers is now 8 years old and stands at 15.3hh. He is huge for a stockhorse, and is often mistaken for a warmblood! He had only done 1 year of showjumping when he came to us, so we have been teaching him everything from dressage and hacking to sporting and campdrafting.
Snickers has the temperament that stockhorses are famous for - he can gallop flat out and spin on a dime, but will stay calm and stand dead still as soon as you drop the reins!
Through 2005 I did a One Day Event on Snickers, and he later starred in a Cross Country clinic, jumping some Novice jumps!
