Backing Olli

[Olli_]

That's my not so wee man 3 yo now so been starting to back him, have sat on him a few times and at the weekend we had a 2 min plod around the yard. He was a wee superstar and really enjoyed himself . I'm going to do a bit of hacking inhand and start him on the long reins soon, he'll do a bit of showing inhand also this spring/summer and hopefully by the end of summer beginning of Autum we'll start to do a little bit of work under saddle if he's ready. Really proud of him, he's growing into such a lovely natured sensible boy - a far cry from the little terror i bought over 2 years ago! Not the best pic as he's in his winter woolies.

Thanks MrsMozart . I'll put a few unhairy pics on so you can see his face better, he actually has quite a small pony head.

He really does have a beautifully sculpted head Can imagine it in brass.

Love him

Awww! He is just gorgeous! I loooove Highland Ponies! They are such superstars with bags of character! Good luck with him, I bet he turns out to be a wonderful pony

Thanks sandi_84 . Don't they just! He's a cheeky wee monkey, but also sweet and lovely.... will do anything for a polo, completely food orientated lol!

He's looking great! Looking a lot more mature than the last time I saw him dragging you about the yard haha This will keep him occupied too.
Good luck to both of you
