Happy Wednesday!
When I first started the equestrian section on my blog last September, something I wanted to do was to interview riders of many disciplines, ages, locations, etc. since there’s so many incredible people within the equestrian community. Today, I wanted to launch this series with someone I admire so much. If you don’t know her you will after today. Some of you might know her as Joslynj_equestrian on Instagram. Her and her horse Dolce are the cutest pair and I can’t wait for you all to get to know her a bit better today!
5. Tell us more about Dolce! Height/age/breed/quirks? 🙂
Dolce is a 13 year old 16.2 National Show Horse. (Half Arabian, half Saddlebred) His Sire was the Arabian Stallion Baske Afire and his dam was a Saddlebred named Ring of Fire BM. Dolce is always interested in being the center of attention! He is very curious and loves to seek out and tip things over like bottles or cups (seriously like a cat). He reminds me of a dog sometimes too with how much of an attention seeker he is and how much he loves being “around”. He is a quick learner with an attentive ,bold and sometimes fiery personality, always enjoying new challenges that keep his mind active. From jumping to trail riding to liberty work he has been a fun horse to grow with and ride.
7. What does your trainer constantly get on to you about? HA!
Dolce and I have only just recently started taking jumping lessons so everything is still kind of new to us. I love that when I am able to take a lesson, my trainer is patient with that and continues to challenge us while also being understanding that we are both new to this type of riding.
