Picnic began showjumping in 2008 and had little previous experience and very low mileage. She was bought as a project horse to have some fun on in 2007 and did various unaffiliated activities. Dressage was never her strong point due to her nosiness and general short attention span, this also ruled out eventing as even though she'd jump double clear the dressage score added with time faults (shires weren't bred to gallop) meant we were never really in with a chance. However showjumping seemed to suit her as she had scope, agility and power with an attitude in the ring - However Picnics are quite temperamental!!! 
So Picnic turned her hoof to showjumping (with her owner) both had never ridden affiliated before so after deciding showjumping was a path they'd like to take they started affialited BSJA and have never looked back.
