So I am taking things slowly with the new boy but now I recount what we have done its quite a lot.

He is easy to turn out,bring in, Mixes well with the other horses doesnt panic if left out on his own.

He is a sweetie in the stable and tied on the yard he doesnt kick the stable door although apparently he now neighs when he hears my voice.

He has been ridden in the big field twice (very badly by a nervous lemon)

He has had two loose sessions in the scary school (just letting him mooch and meet the noises and the mirrors)

He has had one ridden session in the scary school just 20 minutes so we could get used to each other.

And finally he has hacked out twice one really quiet hack and today a proper grown up have a canter in the woods hack.

He is a really lovely chap such a reponsibility to keep him sweet. So two more pics of 15.3 7 year old Irish Cob.

Hope it continues to go well.
Good luck with him.

Just wanted to add, we have had our Charlie a week now, daughters pony, 17 year old been there done that pony, Been excellent and settled so well.
 
He's a lovely looking chap!

I'm sure all geldings that come out of Ireland are called Charlie! My coloured ISH and my ex racer were.
 
My Irish gelding's called Mick, so they aren't all Charlie's! :D

He's a lovely sort. Have fun with him :)
 
I really like him :)

I hope he continues to take things in his stride and that you morph from a nervous lemon into a confident coconut :D.
 
Ah, Ive obviously missed a few posts! I knew you had started looking but didnt realise you had actually found one. I must admit, I did wonder to myself how long you would manage without your own horse, they are a very hard habit to break :) He looks absolutely gorgeous, I really hope you have loads of fun with him, keep us posted.
 
He is one handsome lad and sounds perfect for you. Looking forward to following your progress. Good luck to the both of you - you deserve it!
