High Plains Equestrian’s very popular unaffiliated dressage series has an unusual competitor competing for the ribbons. It is not known if the judge will be marking tail position, the quality of the sit or indeed his ability to stay on the horse rather than chase those all enticing rabbits!

Flute is an Ibizan Hound that is raising money with his mount Ella the andalusian cross for The Pet Blood Bank. He already does his bit by donating blood to help canines in need. He will be the back seat rider helping owner Caroline Howlett to guide Ella through the walk, trot test.

Thank you for taking the time to indulge in the madness! Any donation no matter how small will be very gratefully received.

The competition is held at High Plains Equestrian Centre. http://www.high-plains.co.uk

Thanks go to Julie Howard, the judge who will be subjected to some fanciful riding. Special thanks also go to Justine Wilkie from Piccadilly Pooches for Flute's riding attire.
