Philco was a pony I only had for a few months. Not because I didn't get on with him, quite the opposite in fact, but, because he was bought as a confidence giver for me and I soon outgrew him.

He was a lovely pony and won everything from WHP & Show Pony classes to Open Show Jumping and Hunter Trialing. Our main problem with jumping was that my legs were to long on him and I'd knock the poles off with my feet if I wasn't careful!

We sold Philco to a friend of mine who had lots of success with him too, and then he was sold to Cornwall where I believe he ended his days after developing kidney problems.
