Dixie has been part of the Elisabeth Curtis Centre family for nearly ten years and is a firm favourite with riders, volunteers and staff alike. He is particularly popular with our independent riders, who enjoy his responsive nature and willingness to work.
Although Dixie is our most sensitive pony and can be very ticklish, he is always foot perfect for our participants. He takes great pride in his job and consistently looks after his riders, making him a valued member of the herd.
Dixie has represented ECC at both Regional and National RDA competitions. While he gets very excited when attending competitions, he always rises to the occasion and does a great job. When he's not working, Dixie enjoys a good neck or tummy scratch, although his favourite activity is carrot stretches.
