Emily Wigley and “Nils”

Posted by Heather in YOUR Horse on July 29th, 2009

Nils

Nils is a 20 year young Norwegian Fjord Horse. He is one of my school horses, and teaches 5-8 lessons each week, both children and adults. He’s my teaching partner and my friend, and Platinum gives him the healthy edge he needs to stay alert and take great care of my students, whether they’re learning their posting diagonals, their canter leads or out on a hack. When he moved to our farm in ‘07 he was really quiet and stoic. Now that he knows his job and the routine of the stable he is the reporter – whinnying to the other horses when he goes into the arena to tell them he has an important job! He always looks great, but since he’s been on Platinum his coat has bloomed, he’s much more nimble and seems happier. I love being able to rely on him to give my riders exactly what they need day in and day out. He’s a great horse, a humble horse.
