Backing 3/4yr olds

[Korg]

My raising three years olds and I are waiting for better weather. The Gotlandsruss is long reined and has pulled a small log which he did well. The Icelandics have been on walks, one of them has been long reined once but hasn't really understood the concept. They're all happy to be out doing stuff and want to be brought out when I go in the paddock.

Been a fairly quiet month here, haven't taken him out for a ride however we have been hacking around at home and also focusing on more ground work. The arena is mostly unsuitable for riding faster than a walk until it gets a proper harrow which hasn't been done for nearly 2 months due to the tractor being stolen and insurance just approved the funds for a replacement.
Pony got another clip but not before he demolished a brand new rug that I've been saving for over a year. It didn't even last 12hrs! Sensible boy though for not freaking out about it. No more rugs until he is a few years older and grown out of the rearing games phase...if he ever does

Well my boys journey has begun! He was safely dropped off at Guy Robertson Horsemanship yesterday and has had his first session today! I very much miss his presence at the stables. My old horse is still whinnying for him and the Shetland has become full of sass without the young one to tell him off! lol!
