Loads of them! Nope, not so far. Tbh we’ve had to ride over all sorts of crazy terrain so just cracking on with it. Bog is far more concerned about an specifically shaped stone or log than things like bridges and coyotes ?

Have to share this from this morning. The light was so incredible! I cannot wait to have my dog here. Oh and a candid video of Boggle who decided to steal some fence dressing and then run off with it, that'll teach me for turning my back for one second whilst he's loose in the indoor

Well it looked edible ?

He knew it wasn’t as he tried it out before he then took off with it the minute I tried to catch him ?

Gosh he looks well - such a shine on his coat. The air or the feed must be agreeing with him!!!

? puppy with a ball!! He looks really well and that light is stunning. (shades of grey again here ?)

Thanks! To be fair he does always have a good shine. But he’s got more weight on him than I’d normally manage at this time of year and given he only moved 7 weeks ago I’m pleased. He gets more hay than any of the other horses ?
?I guess the different turnout isn’t really affecting him as his behavior is exactly the same, or if anything, more relaxed. Nor does he seem interested in galloping around when loose in the indoor. He is being ridden more than he usually would in winter though- I make sure he’s worked in some way every day unless there’s no one who can ride him and I can’t either ie thanksgiving.

I think he's looking the best he ever has, possibly age related but the move is clearly suiting him. Slightly concerned about the stifle on this side M, reassure me it's just an odd trick of the light that it looks full of fluid? Photos can be so wrong!

Oh yeah I see what you mean! I think it’s the light as I groomed him briefly this am and didn’t notice anything, but I am going back to ride later so will check. Thanks

My first reaction was "it's eight o'clock, what do you mean you're going back to ride!?" Dohhhhh.

Please guys keep your fingers crossed that Boggle doesn’t ruin this! He seems to really like this little young Arab at the barn. Owner is great and would love him to have a buddy so today we let them loose in the indoor together (and I rode and led the Arab on a trail and Bog was soooo good with him as the pony is young nervous etc)They spent an hour basically just licking each others faces. Didn’t so much as flick an ear back which is weird because Boggle was pretty grumpy with Bear.
We are going to carry on letting them get to know eachother but if it works I’d just be so delighted to have him in with another horse. And to find one that Bog approves of, like goldust!

I will ask! The pony is gorgeous. Reminds me a lot of Boggle as a youngster.

Thank you. It would make me SO happy. I just want the best for him but he doesn’t always make it easy as he is so tricky with who and what he does and doesn’t like but for some reason he seems to have chosen this little horse!
Usually when I’d ride and lead Bog would be flattening his ears at Bear and telling him off. This little Arab was mouthing him and crashing around a bit (his first time being ponied!) and Bog just didn’t even flick an ear back. He just kept steady, kept his line and carried on.
Sometimes he makes me burst with pride at how he’s turned out!

Are there any reasons not to move to Colorado ?

Haha well there’s the crazy politics and guns. But I feel that is counteracted with the beautiful scenery, the weather and the eggnog which I’ve just discovered (is it ok to put that in my morning coffee? It’s just so good).

I think he likes him because he’s so pretty ? He’s a cool horse, I used to ride an Arab when I was a teenager. And I totally agree they are great horses. This one is bright and clever and sparky

He’s looking super!
Dare I ask how Bear is getting on back home? Has he got over Boggles departure?

Bear is doing great he’s totally fine now. I will see him next Saturday! My friend who bought him also has my dog (and bought my trailer haha) so he hacks out with her!

Looks like Bog found his new friend annoying already, in a turnout together supervised and he got cross and kicked out. I think they’d be fine in the bigger fields which they rotate in a few times a week in summer but not the turnout lots. It’s one thing when it’s my own other horse in with him because I can accept the risk (and he never hurt Bear) but different when it’s not your horse.
Oh Bog, I tried.

I am but I just really want to sort his turnout. But then the care here is good and he’s looking great and eating well. It’s so hard!
