Good evening, figured an update on my latest project Bracken, a 9 yr old straight off the forest NF mare, was due.

Long story short she has been fantastic and two weeks on she is now wearing a head collar, been wormed, brushed, leading around the yard (today we even ventured to the school for a potter round) ties up and picks her front feet up :)

She has been an utter doll the whole time and the only thing she is not keen on at the moment is having her back feet picked up but I am sure this will come with time. My wonderful farrier, who is very conviently on site has been giving her scratches every now and then when I have her out to get her used to being handled by other people. He is also used to dealing with ponies off the forest as he has a few himself and so I couldn't have a more perfect person to attend to her feet once she is ready. As you can see her feet could use a little tlc, although that large chunk missing isn't as bad as it looks as she currently has a lot of excess hoof wall.

There's also a couple more photos on my blog, link in my signature :)
