The pony that is scared of getting his feet dirty, thinks mud and puddles are works of the devil, walked through the stream on our hack first time today! :biggrin3: I've taken him down there twice in hand so far and both times took a bit (a lot!) of persuading to get him in it. Of course once he was in it all he wanted to do was play :rolleyes3:

Been trying to get more done with him over the last couple of months, he's done a few more solo hacks, had a longer one with another horse today, been in the scary water, and I've leant he loves to jump! Free schooled him in the paddock and put a little fence up, que him taking himself round and round over it, so think he's gonna be a good jumper when he's a bit older :)

Some pics!

Thanks guys :biggrin3: haha you also a welshie owner?

I think he's gonna be an awesome fun little pony once he gets going! Aim is to get out to some intro dressage to see how he likes seeing some new places soon :)

Yep - my little guy is an older grumpy fella (also chestnut/flax) and now a semi-retired hack (got an amazing jump loose - I've never been brave enough to sit it up top :) & he was cut and backed late and would have made a super eventer I only wish he was 10/12 years younger :( )

And like your little guy loves his food :D but doesnt share ;-).

Keep us updated on your progress - I love to see Welshies in action :).

Aw bless, how old is he now then? Haha yes definitely loves his food! But he loves my other horse enough to share with him! Hopefully the next update will involve some shows, can't wait :)
