Another tick in the check list

Have now had the little stinker one year and have achieved so much with him, cannot believe this time last year I was so unsure about getting a 16 month colt.

Now can proudly add

GOOD TO CLIP

First clip yesterday, he had a chaser clip - just ate his hay and sniffed me. I clipped him by myself and he was like he had always been clipped - no fuss whatsoever.

Last year he stood next to Mr C whilst he was being clipped and had clippers placed on him and has been trimmed with tiny trimmers over the summer, so I think this helped.

He looks very smart and will hopefully now be cooler when he has his little work sessions. Poor chap sweats up with 10 mins walk he is so hairy.

Now can say very good to catch, load and clip - not that he will ever be for sale.

Silly post, but I am just so pleased with him.

Well done - wish me luck horse no.2 being clipped tomoz?!? we hope!?! I know what you mean - last year took clippers within 5 feet of horse no.1 and he bolted - just managed a traser clip last week - felt like running around village with knickers on my head!?!????! so fantastic!!

He is so good! Won't you please think about a little swap?

Come and see him, he is very well and last week had great fun cantering off whilst I was leading Chancer off him, resulting in having to letting little un go - my arms stretch only so far. Luckily Chancer stopped and grazed.

Ella who is now 6 rode him all by herself in the school last week and was very pleased.

If it is for Mac, OH will swop, he loves heavy horses far more than gypsy cobs - must be able to groom and love Cairo and never hurt him or no deal.

I think grooming is what Mac was put on this earth for!
