The best risk I have ever taken.

I have competed at the three star level and I am a young rider. I must admit I was a bit hesitant at first buying a horse overseas only having seen him through pictures. But I took the risk, and indeed, it was the best risk I have ever taken.

After buying Frodo Baggins from Ross in September, I spent the rest of the year hacking and adapting to my new partner. Starting in January, I took Frodo to his first event, at the Training level. Following this event, once again he moved up to Prelim where he had four consecutive clean cross countries and then we ended with the Virginia CCI* which we successfully completed with a clean and almost fast endurance phase.

I cannot emphasize the quality of the horse I am sitting on. Also, I cannot thank Ross enough for selling me such a talented and brilliant animal. My plans this year for Frodo will be to represent Area 2 at NAYRC or Radnor CCI**. He is now competing at the Intermediate level after having him for less than 10 months. Given the chance and the finances, I would gladly buy another horse from Ross - Laine Ashker - Frodo Baggins
