Hunter of a lifetime: ‘Rodeoing nutter’ Kitkat *H&H Plus*

Joint-secretary of the Crawley and Horsham Jammy Taylor sings the praises of her “rodeoing nutter”

“I finally gave up trying to event Kitkat – whom I bought as a five-year-old project to produce and sell on as a swanky eventer and hunter – when we finished our last event on a cricket score of 127,” says Jammy Taylor, the 22-year-old joint-secretary and field master of the Crawley and Horsham.

“She had it all there, it would just depend on whether she felt like going into the dressage arena or whether, halfway round the showjumping course, she would decide to stand bolt upright.”

Kitkat, a dainty, 15.2hh Dutch warmblood/thoroughbred, has “got the attitude of an 18hh horse”, says Jammy.
