Yasmine considers More Glory (aka Hamilton) as a very special horse who has grown with her in the last four and a half years.
"I instantly loved him because he's all heart and has got great work ethics," says Yasmine.
He loves his job and his kind and sensitive nature combined with his desire to please his rider make this Dutch Warmblood gelding a quick learner and a pleasure to work with.
Fox in Socks, known simply as 'Fox' at home, is proving himself to be a curious and spunky character.
"I really love his sweet temper and intelligence, and I like hot horses," says Yasmine who goes on to describe him as being "on the hot side and extremely fast." It is early days yet for her with this scopey and talented young horse and the two are still figuring each other out but Yasmine is not in any doubt about his character.
"He's got a very sweet temperament and I love him."
Yasmine worked both horses through a controlled and progressive training programme in preparation for the season. Flat work alternating with jumping through coaching, clinics and homework were all carefully balanced to land this part of Team Harmony in the ribbons for the 2005 season and lead toward more ambitious goals in the seasons ahead. | | In December 2004 I took Hamilton to a clinic with Leslie Burr-Howard, an Olympic rider, trainer & medallist. | | I train in the US with Mark Watring, a twice-Olympian and 2003 Pan American Gold Medallist. |
