This week Liz is chatting to one of our EquiTeam members Jen Craig about her rather special and very hot Ginger Ninja, Troy.

Troy came into Jen’s life at just a week old and despite his hot and slightly unpredictable nature, Jen had high hopes for her special boy. After a make or break trip to EquiTeam’s Confidence Camp in 2017 helped Jen re-define who was in charge in their relationship, she set herself the goal of getting him to the Royal Highland Show for the HOYS Working Hunter qualifiers.

Sadly a bout of laminitis and a subsequent diagnosis of EMS meant Jen had to re-evaluate what her goals were and after a long recovery and rehabilitation period Jen set about planning what was next for her and Troy.

She chats about how much of a loss it was to have to give up on her showing goals but also how much fun they have had setting some new goals, culminating in them both qualifying for the Riding Club Dressage Championships with 74% and a win in a huge class of 50 other horses.

Jen’s drive, motivation and positive attitude is inspirational. From 5am alarm calls to juggling a full-time job and a young family, she is sets us all a great example of how if something is important enough to you, you make it happen.
