Thanks Cazza524 and sydnee too , I will try putting you your advice/methods into action from tommorow, both are just great and I can empathise with both. He is only out with my old horse and they are great friends already and my old boy is very affectionate with me anyway,

B-G - what happened to turn that big headed youngster into the beauty she is now. Love a classy Skewbald.
Millitiger - thats ugly!, but wow what a transformation later, so elegant. Amazing
I just hope my assessment of my one is correct.
He is rising 4 but Cob X ID 16.1 now and growing.
