Well, Trigo seems to be settling pretty well now, he is managing a full day in the field, he has friends on both sides. He is trying to graze, but finds it all rather confusing!! He has a big tub of hay in the field which he is munching his way through, so obviously quite relaxed about it all...
Thank you, that is exactly what I need to hear!
I could bring him in with others, but that will mean that he won't be in routine, so then when I decide to get him into my routine, will we have this all over again.
I am going to bring him in a little later, do some ground work with him/groom etc...
So, after a great day on Saturday, turned him out for a bit, quite chilled in the field, then lunged him with tack on and had a little plonk around the school, was quite forward, but the weather was cold and very windy, so will forgive him for that!
Sunday, a disaster, he has now decided that he...
Turned him out in a paddock today as he just wasn't liking school turnout.
Was pretty chilled, the geldings in the next field were more stalliony than him! Was out for 1.5 hrs and was pretty chilled tbh. Came in a bit sweaty, more from adrenalin than running around.
Out again for an hour this...
Journey doesn't seem to have affected him at all really, but in 7 days travel, he had 3.5 days rest, so lots of downtime.
His colour is even more vibrant in real life, like burnished copper 🧡
Thank you, he really is everything I had hoped for...
Just got to try and get him to accept being in the field, but guess that will take some time.
Also, I need to get on, which I haven't done yet, that's the plan for this weeked, a wee stroll around the school :-)
Yes, I have told him he is here for life now, but not sure he understands :)
He is really such a beautiful soul, so kind and gentle and absolutely loves a bit of fuss/grooming etc.
