A good day

[Armas]

Today I was due to go for a lesson on my boy. My first worry was loading him in to the lorry as on the last occasion I could not get him in on my own
So pulled the lorry up next to a wall ramp down.
Fetched him from his stall walked up to the ramp slowly stopped talked to him he looked at the ramp lunge whip in my left hand just a little tap on his rump and up he went no fuss It took all of 1 min !
We had a fun lesson finishing of with some small jumps.
The return loading was a breeze
So all in all a great day.
Armas now has a play mate a 17.5 hand 10 year old Breton Cob that is huge He is called Lotus so far they have been very friendly to each other but the test will be tonight when we put them in the same field. Lotus seems a friendly chap when I put Armas in to his box at night Lotus whinnies for him, and in the morning when I let Armas out Armas gallops over to Lotus's field
Ill post some pics later of Lotus to introduce him.

Look forward to seeing the pics, do you mean he is 17.2hh, ie 17 and a half hands? Armas is lovely, and you seem to have so much fun with him, glad he now has a new friend as well.

Glad all is going well, looking forward to seeing the new one, is he yours too?

 

[Armas]

Sorry yes 17.2 he is rather large and round !

Sounds like you're getting on famously with your boy. Good to hear. Lotus sounds luscious . . . I love a good chunky, big lad . . . can he be ridden too or is he solely a companion?

He can be ridden but he is not mine. His owner just does not have the time for him so he will be staying with me. He has not been ridden in over a year so I will try to get him back in to work if I can find someone to ride him.
He is a very big soft lad that likes a cuddle bit like me lol

Where's the lesson pics and some of Lotus?

He sounds fab, and good to hear you're keeping up the jumping

Ooh. I love Bretons! Please post a picture!

 

[Armas]

This is Lotus he had just rolled before the picture that is why the fly rug is not straight.

 

[Armas]

So we have just put them in to the same field no fence to keep them apart. All went well no fighting no squealing no any thing ;-)
Just started munching together

Edit Lotus is a Normandy cob X with a Arab !

Here they are together

Lovely, hope they are going to be great pals. He looks like a gentle big boy.

Thus far he seems like a gentle boy, no fighting between them Mind you Armas is rather a softy and always friendly
