"This is Lucas, my eight-year old Percheron x warmblood, maxi cob. The first photo is the week I bought him at 11-months-old, and the second was taken last summer winning our first ever dressage competition. He doesn't look like the same horse. Some of my non-horsey friends have asked if I sold the first one and bought another!"
