I wasnt going to post it on here but I cant contain so here goes..

This is Samba 15hh welsh x hackney 7yrs old ride and drive (as 5 yr old) planning to restart her to ride and then hopefully drive. Shes a lovely mare and comes over to me with a whinny. And this morning we shared a cuddle on the floor :D. Normally takes me a while to bond with a horse but for some reason I know shes going now where, even if she doesnt drive or isnt safe for me drive shes is staying as a riding horse. One problem she comes with a bit of baggage....

Now named Seamus 2months old to make 15hh sire is a 15.2hh gypsy stallion. He loves his scratches but I wont be keeping him as Toffee is in foal (fingers crossed) so will try and sell him Sept time or keep him until a yearling.

Hes cute until he nips, just pinching his nose and saying no at the moment. Hes not really been handled can now get halter on and off in the stable though which isnt bad considering they came to me on Monday :D She is sooooooo up my street which is why I couldnt say no. My main worry is I was hoping to have 11months to plan for a foal and all of a sudden I have this nosey little man in my face, hes not nasty though. Luckily have a nice support network whos helping us all along. But you can win him round with scratches on his hocks and neck and between front legs :D
 
Hehe measured her today and shes actually 14.1hh oh well. Microchip matches the P ort one so not mix up just a thick vet maybe?

Hes only going as planning to have a foal next year out of Toffee but I was playing on the idea of an extra acre today.........
