First is "Rita" our 4 year old 45" registered Hackney. Rita came to us because she was no longer competitive in the show ring. She did well in halter as a youngster, but she doesn't have the hind action to be competitive in the driving ring and she doesn't have the dead on conformation anymore to continue in halter classes. She's used here for pleasure driving so her show shoes & feet came off right away and she was allowed to grow back her forelock (braided here for neatness because after just a year it's already nearly down to her nose).
I keep ALL tails here wrapped up, but this girl can grow some hair!! When she arrived last year her tail only reached her fetlocks and even in this photo the tail is bunched up on the ground:
Okay......here's a better left side photo:<br>
Unfortunately, this photo was from a distance (before we ripped the old shed out). This is what she looks like when she's IN shape.....:
