For once horsey life is going well!

[poiuytrewq]

Ignore all my saddle threads recently! I have a new saddler who from quite detailed conversation/messages and photo exchanges I’m really hopeful about out this week (poor credit card)

Horse who has given me some kind of sh** over winter and on my various whingy posts about I was told to sell and move on is coming good, I have started to actually like him.
He had physio today, convinced of major issues he got a fairly clean bill of health. This means I have a horse who’s not only behaving to ride but is sound and not in terrible shape.
Apart from the grass and companion issues home life is SO chilled. He spends his days asleep. Is hacking alone, hacking in company, leaving the company to head our separate ways home without a head fit. Passing all manner of traffic, not fence walking or breaking out, not bullying my ponies. Eating his food, coming to call, being perfect for the farrier.
My lorry is fixed and finally going well.

I just like him. It’s amazing how much difference to my own every day life this makes!
I can’t quite believe it. The only reason I cancelled his sales livery slot was because he wasn’t sound.
we still have stuff iron out but life would be dull if it were perfect!

This made me smile. I’m so glad you’re happy

Thank you! I’m really thrilled. I’d been convinced as things were going so well that the physio would have flagged something awful!
My daughter kind of forced me to buy this horse off her friend saying he was my perfect horse. I’ve hated her for it

I don't know why I was surprised to see a coloured neck! I just assumed it would be a tb one

Of course! And it’s always been a TB. That’s almost been a bit of the struggle. I didn’t k ow how to ride a normal horse. Dropping the contact resulted in cantering all the way home!

Your going to have to learn to ride a "normal " horse all over again the stop and start peddles are the wrong way round

I think my fell pony was a TB in another life

Sounds ideal @poiuytrewq

I have a little Welsh a, he’s 30 now but having worked in racing the past 15 years I joke he’s the most neurotic TB I’ve ever had

Great post! I'm so happy for you that things are beginning to fall in to place.

Just in time for summer too!

 

[AShetlandBitMeOnce]

I love a happy post, especially one with a 'between the ears' photo. Glad things are working out for you, somehow the weather too makes even the simplest of nice things feel 100x better

 

[Errin Paddywack]

Lovely to hear of things going right and have to say I love his ears.

 

[Ratface]

I was sold from the ears as well! Onwards and upwards ( no bucking, though.)

I'll share this post with a friend. She's recently bought a lovely middle weight cob having had TB types in the past. He's really a great safe, sensible, forward going ride just needs a bit of schooling on but he's a fast learner. She's heading towards her 70's and wants a safe , sensible horse having had a difficult time with her last one. However, she's finding it hard to fall in love with him although she recognises that he's he's a great find just different to what she'd had in the past.
