Krista's Story

A truly amazing little horse with a heart of gold and a temperament to match.

Krista’s career has been extensive and varied. Helen herself competed on her in the early days. She was honoured to be part of the parade at the Tercentenary of Rotten Row through London behind Nomad and Solfried and has been a true ambassador of the Breed throughout her life.

She has been hugely successful at the Breed Show at all disciplines with numerous riders, both children and adults. Her unflappable temperament has made her an obvious candidate for fancy dress with the highlight of this being paired with Helen in an unforgettable Fire Engine costume. Without doubt the most remembered and professional of the Fancy Dress wins !!!

Krista has turned her hoof to many things over the years. Not only has she had a very successful Breed Show career, she has also won at County Shows, had a very successful endurance career and at home is another of the Silvretta Haflingers to teach hundreds of people to ride.

Like others at Silvretta she has been a favourite with the RDA and was requested many times, usually alongside Em, for Regional training, Regional finals and she was always used by the local branch at their weekly sessions.

Although retired now she still rules the roost with friends Pendavey Matra (Cassius) and Stanway Stanislaus !!
