    New horse arrived!

    That is one beautiful looking horse. I’d suggest investing in a fly mask with UV protection for that pink nose come the warm weather.

    Exercises to do on ground

    Calm consistent handling. Don’t try to be her friend or bond with her. Chat and deal with her in a workmanlike manner. The bond will come later.

    He’s clearly neglected. Box him up and deliver him to me immediately!

    Arena Surface - possibly Carpet Fibre

    If it’s a surface for your school at home, I’d suggest trying out various surfaces at other people’s yards before deciding.

    Worming regime for new pony

    I’d do a worm count first too. But only if the horse was going to be kept on its own for a while when it came home. I wouldn’t risk putting a new horse in a paddock with my worm free horses and introducing worms into the herd.

    Rug weights. Confused!

    I find the no fill turnouts are only useful in warm weather when it’s raining.
