For those of you who remember my past posts heres the latest update on my youngster.

Couple of days ago he was as backed, hes been very good and very quiet so far and I am delighted. Haven't been on myself yet as it very early days for an ol` lady!

He looks so small and ponyish in these pics but he is huge when you stands next to him, guess its the very short back that makes him look that way, and they have scrubbed him up beautifully too...... I have a white appaloosa now not a mud coloured one.
 
well done. He looks so relaxed. They must be doing a very good job with him. Hope you'r able to get on him soon and he continues to behave for you. :)
 
You went to see him then? :D

Fantastic - he looks like he doesn't have a care in the world bless him!

Keep them pics coming!! :D

He s only been there a week... So very early days yet, going to see him this afternoon , so nervous........Why I do not know? - not riding him yet as although he looks an angel he is still very new to it and so not ready for me yet. They are doing a grand job and the place has a lovely atmosphere, kids and happy people 'n`well cared for, fit horses.
A gentle approach with plenty of patience and understanding.

So glad, and amazing to find a local person too with the perfect set up for him. I could not have left in in the field 'til next May when I was planning to send him south for backing in the absence of finding anyone local, he was bored and making a nuisance of himself. You just know when they are ready to go and do a job. Evidently he was. He is very settled where he is, I think he feels secure, certainly there is always a lot to watch and stuff going on all day, everyday, kids and ponies.
Not likely to be bored there.....
 
Went to see him this afternoon and he looked huge and so athletic, walking over poles and being a really good boy. Its all so new to him, but you can see he wants to try and to trust and his ears are flicking back to his rider and he is licking and chewing as he thinks it through. He is a stunning horse, and I think still has some growing to do yet...
