DuKaty’s Intro

Hey! I’m DuKaty (aka HyperJics). I’m writing a quick blog on me and my horses - Katy, Fast (okay, so he’s not mine... he’s my sister’s, but I’m competing on him, too), Billy, and Arizona (recently retired, but he’s the horse that gave me the idea of this blog). I’ve been an equestrian since 2003 at the age of 9. I started competing at 12-years old and LOVIN’ every bit of it! I’m doing .90m regularly, but I’m trying to move to 1m. I have competed in 1m, but I haven’t been doing that well. Hopefully I’ll be doing 1m (and maybe 1.10m) this show season. I’m a bit too hyper for my own good, but I’m working on that ;)

So, Here are my great horses...

My best friend (horse): Fast - He’s my best friend, my neighbor, and my big brother ( no actual blood relation). I can always look up to him. I love being with him.

Story: I came to the Philippines a long time ago, back then I was a dressage horse. I’m told I was really good. I’ve been though a lot, I was abandoned once, I developed arthritis, and even had to take care of little unexperienced kids. I’ve had a long life, and now I’m happy permanently out to pasture. I’m thankful for all the experiences of my life whether up or down.

Each of these horses have been a blessing to me. They have each taught me very important things, not just in riding but also in life. I love them so much!!!

Truly,

DuKaty
