The big boys of the team jumping the highest grade of the sport!
DSE Mr Hokey Pokey (Yogi)
Yogi was originally started by Elise and her daughter Dani who slowly produced him through to 1*, and since then Donna has enjoyed taking this little horse the rest of the way. He’s an absolutely beautiful animal in every way, he’s kind, athletic and a super scopey talented jumper. Originally he was named Gotta Lotta Courage as a Quarter Horse, and that name sums him up nicely!
Hes a super consistent prize winner and he’s adored by many fans.
