So far everything is going really well and both Faye and Winnie are starting to look a little slimmer already.
They are happy being stabled and also out together in their little paddock. They have mixed in really well with the other horses don't mind the dog and seem very content in general.
They are a joy to groom and both lunge like pro's, they are excellent to catch and box too, we didn't hear a peep out of them on the way home.
They stand quietly to be tacked up and Winnie has already been ridden and hacked out.
We were amazed as she walked and trotted nicely around our little school in an outline and also hacked around the block past some very scary farm buildings and rubbish on her own.
The plan is some more schooling and also further hacking out both alone and in company over the next few weeks. Hopefully I'll be able to get some ridden pictures over the next couple of days.
She really needs very little work done to her before she's ready for the show ring which is a good job as her owners are already pushing for her to be advertised.
I have to say I'm a little disapointed as I'm really fond of Winnie already as she has such a great little character.
Faye is less confident so we are letting her settle more before we see how she goes under saddle, she really is very sweet and not at all naughty, she's been excellent to handle and even my friends 3 year old can groom her and lead her about her field.
When she is nervous she doesn't do anything naughty she just leans right back as if she's going to lay down but her confidence is improving daily and I can't wait to get her into the show ring
Sorry for the essay, cookies if you get this far.
