Meet Blue Print, most commonly known as Harley around the barn. Harley is a grey gelding Pony owned and shown by a young girl named Elle. The pair ride with Patty Roberts at Memorial Park Hunters in Houston, TX.
Elle started riding when she was 8 years old. It was about a month or so before she was supposed to go to a riding summer camp. She couldn’t bear going to camp and not knowing how to ride, so she insisted on learning how to ride. Shortly after, she attended Calp Greystone summer camp and had a blast. She has been riding ever since.
Elle shares a memory of a time when she shared her gummy lifesaver candy with Harley and he LOVED it!! It was one of her favorite memories and Harley’s favorite treats.
The pair ride 3 days a week and go to as many shows as they can! Harley is the sweetest pony in all of the world, however, he comes to life at the horse shows and loves to do his job for Elle while always taking care of her.
Did you know that a grey horse must have at least one grey parent in order to also be grey?
