A sassy Norwegian Fjord is shaking up the status quo of the Dressage world! In a sport known for tall, dark warmbloods, Corgi Hill Flinka, a 15-year-old grey dun mare, is showing the world that you don’t necessarily need long legs to perform those upper-level movements

With a big forelock and an even bigger personality, Flinka came into owner Alexandria Andrasko’s life by chance in 2014. After dabbling in jumping and driving, they found their niche in the dressage ring and started quickly moving up the levels. In shows at First, Second, and Third Levels, they remained undefeated.

While she’s made quite the name for herself at Midwestern shows, Flinka has also won multiple national championships, including the US National Pony Cup in Fourth Level and the Prix St. George. She’s also taken home multiple FEI high point and breed awards and has helped Alexandria secure her USDF Bronze and Silver medals, and her Gold medal is in progress. The pair is currently competing at the Intermediate levels and have their sights on the Grand Prix ring.

Outside of the show ring, Flinka has traveled with Alexandria to participate in various child and adult therapy sessions showcasing her sweet side. For Alexandria, her little Norwegian Fjord has made her dreams come true in more ways than she could have ever imagined. Flinka is truly her heart horse and has shown her that the impossible can be possible with a lot of love, work, and a sassy personality!
