My heart totally swells with pride every time I look at this photo of my dd Heidi and her horse Kingmanship. We bought Kingie (our nickname for him) when he was only six weeks off the track. She spent 18 months schooling him before she took him to his first show. He was amazing and had so much potential and we were so proud of him. This photo was taken at the Durban Shongweni Club at the height of his showjumping career but unfortunately and very sadly this show was to be his last. A couple of weeks after this show he started going unsound and many tests and x-rays finally revealed that he had developed navicular disease. We rested him for over a year and slowly brought him back into work but to no avail. He would simply go unsound again and we finally retired him. That was a very sad day but he is happily spending his retirement with a herd of mares on the farm in Bulwer. What more could a boy want? This is my all-time favorite photo of Heidi and Kingie and I've been wanting to scrap it for so long but never had enough confidence. I think it turned out ok. Trust me, it is NOT skew in real life!! There is a tag at the top right with hidden journaling.
