They have had many successes, including qualifying in their first year for the Pony Club (PC) championships in the 90cm eventing. They have also done 1m (PC intermediate) eventing. Dreamer is able to produce a nice dressage test, she is a careful showjumper and keen across country to make it inside the time. She is still young and full of potential, however is also able to look after the rider and be a schoolmaster. She lives out or in and is good in a field with others. Dreamer has been ridden by a variety of riders of different age and levels, giving them confidence and is a pleasure to ride.”
