Special tricks or characteristicsHotshot was the most willing and talented horse I’ve ever known. He would do anything I asked—galloping through fields, soaring over jumps, running barrels, tackling jumping courses, riding bitless, and exploring trails without hesitation. Everyone loved him, making him the center of attention at all times. But more than his abilities, his greatest gift was his heart. He brought back my love for riding, taught me patience, and showed me that hard work truly pays off. He was more than just a horse—he was my partner, my world, and my greatest joy.
I’m royalty because…I am considered royalty due to the immense love I received. I was more than just a horse—I was a companion, a close friend, and a wellspring of strength and happiness. I carried my rider with trust and devotion, always willing, always giving my all. I confidently galloped through fields, soared over jumps with pride, and stood tall in the show ring, capturing everyone's admiration. But my greatest honor wasn’t the ribbons or the cheers—it was the love I received, the bond I shared. I was cherished, I was respected, and I was never alone. That is why I am royalty.
