4yr olds First time Cubbing (Pictures!)

[Deefa]

Took Goli out to meet the hounds for the first time yesterday and he was a total star (makes a change from Harry being a silly devil!) I had a lovely day, Goli stood like a rock when still and didn't get strong or silly when moving off.
We even did a couple of little jumpies, managed to fit through tiny gaps in the forest and negotiated a rather large ditch! He was such a good lad, cant wait to get out again!

[MardyMare]

Wow what a good boy. He is gorgeous and you both look so smart.

 

[Happy Hunter]

Wow -= Very smart!
Love the jump!

 

[HLOEquestrian]

Wow what a smart boy!

You must be so pleased, he's lovely

 

[Deefa]

Thank you.
I was over the moon with him! Want to get out again soon to before the fast stuff starts.

 

[HuntingB]

What a good boy, looks nice and honest. He might liven up the next time now he knows what's going on! Have fun!

 

[Kenzo]

What a lovely hunter he'd make, looks like he did you proud, very smartly tuned out too.

 

[Gingerwitch]

Sorry - you are completley over horsed - tell you what I will come and take him off your hands

Wow, you both look great, well done to you both

 

[Christmas Crumpet]

He looks like he's going to be a cracker.

Although you both look very smart, you don't need to plait for cubbing.

 

[Deefa]

GW - Lol!

Caroline - I realised that once i got there lol. i have only been out on M&M's before so wasn't sure so did just in case!

 

[Dirtymare]

Sorry - you are completley over horsed - tell you what I will come and take him off your hands

I completely agree with you GW, but I dont think he would be your type of horse either.
I would gladly take him off your hands.

Gorgeous gorgeous boy........

 

[millreef]

His tail is so thick! You both look very dapper.

 

[Christmas Crumpet]

Sod it - save your plaiting fingers till opening meet time!! Good for you for making the effort to look as smart as possible though.

He has such a lovely eye - he's going to be gorgeous. Hope he continues to be as amazing from here on!!

 

[Spyda]

Being nosey, was your lovely well behaved boy backed last year, or this year?

Just wondering as I've a backed-this-year and lightly hacked four year old and am wondering if I could dare take her cubbing or should leave it until next year when she's got more miles under her. Mind you, I walked her inhand through the middle of the last Pony Club rally held at out yard (last month) and she was on stalks; head about 12 ft high, eyes boggling and doing a wonderful example of extreme passage! Me thinks maybe we'll wait until NEXT year

Your boy is gorgeous and such a super chap for behaving so well. Well done, both of you

 

[RunToEarth]

He is gorgeous, real stamp of a hunter, very jealous!

 

[BigRed]

What a lovely looking horse - you must be really pleased with him.

 

[Mince Pie]

Gosh you lucky thing! Took my 10 year old cob out 10 days ago and he was a nightmare! LOL

Gorgeous photos, he's turning into a very nice horse.

 

[Deefa]

Thank you everyone, i am so proud of him! (my now 19yr old cant go hunting due to his nightmareish attitude to it so its nice to have a calm one!)
He was backed last october but turned away over the winter and restarted about march/april timw this year.

 

[SophieLouBee]

He is LUUUUSSHHHH. Well done you! I love your big grin on the photos, nice to see someone enjoying thier young horse

 

[JenHunt]

he really is very very lovely! how is he bred?

 

[TallyHo123]

Gorgeous boy! Very smart.

 

[Alec Swan]

It looks to me as though you have a "Hunter". What lovely pics, and how well turned out you are, both of you.

Well done. Excellent, better than that, a delight!

Alec.

 

[Gingerwitch]

You do realise if I had been on either of my ridden ones - 21 and 11 years old - the photo over the jump would have shown a massive spook at the camera man and me doing a splat in the mud!

Apart from the smiles - which is wonderful to see - the thing that really stands out for me is what a wonderful tail ! -you put many show horses to shame

[DollyDolls]

Wow, what a difference 1/2 a yr makes. He's really filled out since camp. You'll have loads of fun this season with him.

 

[Deefa]

Thank you! His tail is lovely bu sadly his mane is just as thick which makes it a nightmare to pull and plait lol!
He is 3/4 TB and a 1/4 CB
I couldn't stop smiling, esp as he stood like a rock even when some horses around him were bunny hopping and darting in all directions!

 

[JenHunt]

bless him! I'd have put money on him being half CB not 1/4!

 

[Happy Hunter]

Good Old CB genes
Makes it even more lovely to see! (In my CB biased my opinion! )
