Jasmine
Barkway Swansong
Was my other pony which i got to compete on as polly was getting old and was well in need of retirement. Jasmine was also a welsh pony, liver chestnut 12.2hh mare she was a lovely pony although she had her moments. After we got her i couldn't wait to get on her, but then when i tied there was something not right as she seemed to be frightened as i tried to mount and when i did she was clearly in pain. We then got the chiropractor out to see her and her hip was out of place and some of her back bones were to, he managed to fix it but it became a regular thing and every time we would notice that there was something wrong usually resulted in me getting thrown off, this gave my confidence a real knock after everything polly had given me. So we then decided to take her out of work and leave her as a brood mare, we bred 2 foals from her and then she was sold to carry on producing top quality foals.
