So that’s the wee guy backed. Few months ahead of my usual Schedule but hey ho he had mastered lunging, long lining, leaning over, walking out inhand and standing at the mounting block by himself. He’s done obstacles courses inhand, been to shows, stands to be bathed, groomed, feet done, perfect for the farrier, so it was sitting on and walking and being clipped that’s left on the list.

so now it’s just being clipped ? he’s a star

So back to being a youngster with some long lining on the road in prep for hacking next year before the winter hits ?

Edited to add please be nice I’ve lost a lot of weight and I’m just started to feel more like myself after covid so hoping to get exercising again soon

Thanks all ❤️ He’s honestly a delight! He’s standing just over 15hh at the bum and 15hh at the withers so I think hes Certainly going to be a good size for me ?

Oh well done! You look smashing on him, he's such a nice pony :). I remember you and Kia from the early days on Trotonline so it's nice to see you've found a worthy successor!

Thank you ? I miss him loads, especially yesterday when the wee guy is wearing all his tack ❤️
