We got Noah in November - the first horse my Mum has had for herself in over 40 years. We made the mistake of not having him vetted and got totally conned (she has never ridden him since we've had him, he is now recovering from surgery for bone spavin which he had in April after much investigation!) but we love him and he's here to stay. He could use some lessons in good manners but he has a very nice nature, appears to be bombproof and is very inquisitive.
This is the current Appy (the saddle is a bit far forward as she was a bit fat at the time)
This is the old girl who we kept until she was 33, at one point we had them both and they were best buddies. The current girl was as sad as us when we lost her.
