Stinky was an enigma. A snot nosed 747 stuck in a pony body. Stinky loved to run. Loved to test Katie and together, they formed a bond.

They also ran in the Willowdale Point to Point and Winterthur Point to Point. There was nothing they couldn't do together, and as Katie grew a little, she figured out what made her pony tick, and together, they did it. It didn't matter what it was, it was done as a team by them both.
That year, Stinky took Katie through her D2 and D3 pony club ratings with ease. Looking the part of a competent team, they did a few rallies. One was an eventing rally which they won, and a show jump rally... where Stinky sailed the fastest around the course, and finished it in record time. Safely though...since Katie had him under control and pulled him up properly when done. Together, they tried foxhunting.. but Stinky was more into trying to keep pace with the MFH, and that was soon declared a mistake. SO Katie made the switch to her thoroughbred Koda and started hunting him under the tutelage of James Paxson and River Hills Foxhounds.
