He got a little over excited. Baby cow pony arrived today from the blue cross and seems to be a sweetie. He has the most incredible eyes I've ever seen, sort of blue swirled with grey and brown, like looking into stormy seas. BBP didn't know whether to make friends, guard his existing friend, or go on the attack, very confused! So he showed baby his best Spanish stallion moves! Baby cow pony was unimpressed, he's only 3 but settled straight in. The haffie is only 15 months and also pretty chilled, so it's just my 11 year old acting the fool. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0iuoW1m6QRY&feature=youtu.be
 
Look look look *I* can do Spanish walk.

Aye mate but I can do calm cob walk so ner :p :D


Lovely horses. I had similar returning the Welshies home today. The section A has some seriously elevated moves but Daughter's pony just trotted around a bit behind her then got back to the serious business of eating!
 
He thinks he is pretty special. He doesn't understand slow calm cob walk, it's not in his vocabulary. This morning he is spending his time herding his young haffie friend to the other side of the track to keep him away from cow pony. Haffie and cow pony are not sure this is fair. Some tactful introductions will be required I think as BBP seems to be very possessive of his friends!

Is he rig tested?

No, he's not even slightly stallion-y really, in that he loves all other horses, is really friendly with them usually and has no interest at all in stallion-y things. But he does have RER and when he gets a bit stressed, like when a new horse arrives and he can see it but not touch it, he gets a bit manic and doesn't know what to do with himself. He isn't always able to relax once he has got a bit stressed. He lost a few social skills after his best friend died last year and he's been kept separate for a lot of the winter and spring due to his sacroiliac injury so he is I guess understandably possessive now he is back in with a friend. He gets frustrated that there is a fence separating them. The little'un is so chilled I don't think they will be a problem once they are in together.

BBP is absolutely stunning! What a gorgeous boy. The other two aren't bad either ;) but he is like a flipping supermodel!

He is pretty gorgeous when he is strutting his stuff! He's pretty tubby so a bit of a plus size supermodel right now but im hoping he will trim up quickly now that he's out on a track system with friends and his workload is starting to increase. And not too shabby movement for a horse who has had a sacroiliac injury and ulcers in the last year (plus his shocking hayfever and his muscle disease).
 
He is one of the most beautiful horses I've ever seen I think. So funny too. Love the Cob as well. Told myself I wouldn't bother owning again for a good while but I'll take them all off your hands!
 
Half of the time I would gladly give the black one to you! He isn't classically pretty when stood slouching on the yard, but comes to life when revved up! he's a very funny pony, he follows me around making rumbly grumbly chatty noises thinking it will endear me into giving him treats (more often than not successfully), lets me leap on him from the trampoline, ride tackless round the field but has melt downs at a patch of clover out hacking that he has already gone over once. Wierdo!
 
My Welsh C keeps her friends herded away as well. She is very possessive and dislikes the last one in, until there is a new last one in then she transfers her love to the previous enemy and keeps it away from the new one!
 
Loving BBP showing off there! He looks hilarious and the haffy isn't bothered in the slightest! What a gorgeous bunch of horses you havwe OP! :) I hope that the coloured cob is settling in well :)
 
He really is a plonka. He's feeling really well in himself at the moment! I bought him because of his black beauty sale photos...little did I know what a loony this black beauty is!
 
He's such a beautiful horse. I'd have him in a heartbeat! Ship him to New Zealand 😋

Haffy seems very sensible, keeping its distance. Rather cute too.
