Anneke and Nuk
Hi! I am Anneke Davidson and I am 9 years old and I love eventing! My mom has let me do one tadpole on my Connemara pony, Lucy. Unfortunately, I was eliminated for letting Lucy jump out of the arena, but the show allowed me to ride stadium and cross country, and I went clean in both.
My mom is currently part leasing a Quarter Horse for me to ride named Nuk, since my pony can be a little too much of a go-go pony. Nuk is so much fun and I got to school him at the Florida Horse Park last weekend. I also got to ride him in the stadium 18″ course, where I got a 2nd place ribbon! I hope to be able to event at tadpole again this year and then at some point move back to riding Lucy and get to compete at beginner novice. I love riding and eventing is the most fun ever!
