My name is Savannah and I am eight years old. I have been riding ponies since I was six. I love ponies and horse showing. My partner is my pony Skittles. Skittles and I have been a team for over a year. My goal for us it to win an equitation on ponies medal final. It will be hard work but I know we can do it.
When I am not horse showing I go to school with my brothers. We are home schooled with another family. I have four older brothers. They go to the horse shows sometimes but most of the time try to find a way to stay home. Most of my friends are people I have met at horse shows. I have a big bag filled with toy horses and a truck and trailer that I take to the shows and in between classes I like to play horses with my friends. I hope one day I get to ride in the Olympic games. I have a long way to go but in the meantime I hope you all keep coming back to my blog and follow us this horse show season. Thanks!

Hey there!! I wanted to let you know you have a VERY cute pony! I am 16 and have been riding for 6 years my goal is to take my pony to the pony finals too before I turn 18!! That is a great goal, and many people have told me it is VERY hard, keep your chin up and I promise you can do it and no matter how many bad days you have DO NOT GIVE UP! Good luck!
Hi Savannah!
I love your blog and Skittles is so adorable. You two look like a fantastic team and should take the pony equitation world by storm! I am 14 years old and have been riding for five years, and although I have outgrown most ponies I still love them all. Keep up the blog, and keep posting updates! Have a fantastic 2008 show season.
Hi there savannah. wow you and your pony look quite the team. I am sacha, I am 22 now! yes, indeed, I am getting old! But, like you, I was once eight years old and dreaming of geting to the Horse of the Year show which is a major championship show held here in the UK for showjumping (amongst other things). Never give up on your dream, I didn’t and I got there, it’s the best feeling in the world and, like me, you will experience that too. I am now striving to achieve yet further goals with my novice mare who is more than capable of achiving those goals too. Remember, have faith in yourself, have faith in your pony and have even more faith in you partnership.
Best wishes,
sacha xx

Hi Savannah! I started reading your website when I saw the link on COTH. You are turning into a great rider! I am 18 but I remember all the fun I had showing when I was almost your age (I wasn’t allowed to ride until I was 9!). Keep up the good work with Skittles!
Oh and savannah,

Hey Savannah
My name is Sarah and I am 15 years old and have been riding since I was about 5. I used to have a lot of friends to ride with, but they all got out of horses. Never get out of horses! My horse is my best friend, they will never purposely do something to hurt you and they always try their best. Keep pursuing your dreams! I do not show horses except at small fairs, I actually train my own horses. I just got a new gorgeous 3 year old buttermilk buckskin that I am so thrilled to start!
Have a wonderful day and keep following your dreams, you’ll reach them!
