Towards the end of last year I posted a very sad thread as my coblet had been found dead in her field very unexpectedly. At the time I was heartbroken and really struggling with my loss and you were all incredibly kind and understanding.
Well the good news is that I now have a new pony ! I got him at the beginning of December. He is a 5 year old, 15hh gelding, and another coblet and goes by the name of Geoffrey !!! He is incredibly sweet, very kind and affectionate but also quite green. I didnt do much with him in December as I wanted him to settle in and for us to get to know each other. We started working him this month, but of course it has all come to a grinding halt now because of the damn weather. But he was coming on leaps and bounds. My riding instructor had started schooling him and he had been out hacking on his own and was proving to be a brave little chap, unphased by a lot of things and a quick learner. So we have a little training plan in store for him. Laura, my instructor, is going to school him for me a couple of times a week, he will go out hacking 2 or 3 times a week too, and she thinks if I work really hard with him I will have a cracking pony by the summer! So it will be a nice little project to work on and hopefully I will soon have a pony that I can really trust and bond with and who will see me to the end of my riding life. Here are some pics of him.
