Huey
18.2h, TB/Trak/Clyde, Gelding, 6 yrs old (2004)
Huey came to Michelle in June 2007. He was a difficult , resale horse owned by her good friend Tom Williams. Huey was only supposed to stay for a week until Tom could come and get him, but he ended up making a place for himself at her farm. Huey is, by far, the biggest horse that Michelle has ever competed. Huey loves to jump and is very fancy on the flat. Huey consistently places at the top in dressage and is gaining more and more experience on x-c. Michelle plans to move him up to Training level and complete a full format 3-day when his education is in place and he's ready.
