Our Featured Horse of the Month of June is Alvin!

Alvin has been one of the horses of Halifax for almost a year now, and he is one of the more unusual horses we have had the pleasure to work with.

Alvin is 12 years old, and he is a sweet natured horse. We have had to spend much of the year working through some health and soundness issues, but he is now really starting to come into his own and give us his best effort.

Alvin had not done any jumping before coming to Halifax Lancers and we are slowly teaching him to jump, but he shows great enthusiasm for jumping. He even loves to jump poles on the ground!

This year, Alvin has the honour of leading the chestnut line in the musical ride. He really seems to enjoy the musical ride.

Alvin teaches riders to be soft in their hands and to work with their seat. We look forward to many more years with him!
