She arrived at the yard a little sweaty, but travelled very well considering it was two hours and she was on her own! She settled down okay, but insisted on eating her bed despite having a haynet there. I took her for a walk after she relaxed a little, although it was more the other way round despite being in her bridle. Everyone cooed over her and she absolutely love it lol!
Anyhoo, we just popped into the school for ten minutes and she was great, just walking and trotting.
(No piccies of her first day, but got quite a few of today!)

I'm so sorry the pics are huge - Me and photobucket realllyy don't get on!

Today, again we took her for a little walk, as she isn't allowed turnout until she's been wormed...

Then decided to explore the oh so interesting smaller school....
1st prize for best giraffe impression goes to....

In the above picture, she is only wearing a sheepskin numnah because the saddle we are borrowing from the dealers for a couple of months just sits on her withers a little bit..
Oooh also, she doesn't usually look that odd! (Neither do I hopefully!) She was peering over at another horse in the other arena!

Having a look at her surroundings.

There are fab views on the other side of this wall, and it's a slight slope where she is standing, hence her wonky donkeyness

Yeah you will! I'll be watching out for all the XC photos in the gallery.

Sorry if I have missed it but what age is she and what has she done before you had her?

She's only 6, and was brought over from Ireland having been hunted as a three yr old. She's done well in hunter trials, two seasons hunting - once when she was too young in Ireland, and another in England when they'd built her up etc...
Not much schooling though, mainly a hunting pony, but hopefully with time and patience she'll have some good flatwork under her belt.

Yep, she is a good type, but sometimes she looks so plain, but the moment she turns her head to a certain angle, she can do herself some justice lol! xxx

Ooh congratulations on your new pony she is lovely (so shiny!). But then black mares with white socks and a white blaze are the best possible kind of horses!
