This is Minto. I lost him 6 years ago and I still miss him so much it hurts. I love this picture so much as the look on his face just sums him up. I think he would approve of Robin. They have the same outlook on life.
This is my favourite. My first and last attempt at ridden showing ? he was an absolute pleb in the ring, couldn’t cope with the excitement of everybody cantering at once! But he warmed up so beautifully before hand - the best he’d ever felt, so I didn’t care!!
If i can find it I'll post the one of D1 on my Dizzy Blonde. I'd broken my back so couldn't take Dizz to Eland camp and D1 took my place. Its a picture of them cantering over an open field. The look of sheer happiness and beaming smile on both their faces warms my heart.
Loving these photos ! I had the same type of headcollar/leadrope as Criso above - I never liked the metal clip bit on it, but these worked brilliantly. I made myself some new ones using a youtube tutorial, and I have never felt so inept in my whole life ! Finally got OH to do them, and they are fine, but obviously ropes and knots, not to mention following muppet-proof instructions on a pause-able video are not my *thing*.
