We're feeling very proud of Jac (Kingmaker Union Jacques) who has just turned 5 years old. He has been cross-country schooling with his owner Sarah Dowson, who says they had great fun and Jac tackled all of the jumps with enthusiasm.
Sarah frequently loses the ride on Jac to her young daughter Jessica who is a cracking little jockey. Not many Dales Ponies can be ridden by young children (due to their size and strength) but Jess makes it look easy!

Jac & Jess popping quite a big log!
Jac is the half-brother (same dam) of our 2013 bay colt Defender de Kingmaker. We'll be really happy if Defender grows up to be half as kind, gentle and honest as Jac is proving to be!
He's super, great photos!
