A
Veteran With Vitality
Despite
his years, former police horse Hudson Bay, winner of the Veteran
Horse Society's Supreme Championship at Olympia, looks full
of vigour and vitality, and still has the enthusiasm of a
youngster.
Thirty-year-old
Hudson Bay, who is known at home as Crispin, is a handsome
Cleveland Bay x Thoroughbred gelding, with a character that
defies his age.
His
presence both in and out of the ring, combined with his youthful
looks earned him this prestigious title and the Minty Memorial
Trophy.
Selected
from over 2000 entries, competing in 468 classes nationwide,
the final 10 went through to Olympia in December.
Crispin
is owned by the Horses and Ponies Protection Association (HAPPA)
and has been under the loving care of Sarah Frazer for the
past 12 years.

When
Sarah started to show Crispin she says despite the fact he is a
former police horse, his initial behaviour in the ring was spirited,
to say the least.
Now a reformed character, he is a shining example of what an elderly
horse can achieve with lots of loving care, patience and the correct
nutrition.
Sarah
feeds Crispin TopSpec Feed Balancer which is a very palatable, nutrient
rich feed, designed to balance the rations of all horses and ponies
simply by adjusting the rate at which it is fed and the products
it is fed with.
Said
Sarah: "I am thrilled for Crispin to have won this class, and
I am sure his superb condition is helped by feeding TopSpec Feed
Balancer."
