Herbie pics for those who asked and you'll never guess what he did today.

He's looking fab Laura! What a clever boy to load so nicely. You've done so well with him and hopefully now all your patience and determination are being rewarded. He certainly looks like he's enjoying life!

WAHOO! Sounds like you had a great ride! Well done! Cookies for you and lots of polos for Herbie

He has some very big boots to fill and it looks to me like he's bucked his ideas up mightily. Can we think about a slightly kinder name for him soon? Like (H)improving Herbie or (H)unbelievable Herbie?

Wow!! Huge well dones to both of you - he's turning into a star!! Such a pretty pony as well Keep it up both of you!!! You certainly have a way with horses, don't ever give up! Am also very jealous of your hacking xx

How lovely is your hacking?! Our NF came from a little further afield, near Verwood, am sure he misses it for the suburbia he's got to put up with now (although daughter found a bridleway with some ace fields for gallops, and we do box him out and about)

I agree with previous posters you have really turned him around so he certainly needs a name change, how about
Handsome Herbie
Huggable Herbie
Honourable Herbie
Heavenly Herbie
Happy Herbie (he looks it!)

Thankyou so much guys. He is improving so much. Just to see him looking happy now is a reward for all the work i've done so far I can't believe how much he's changed. I'll deff change his name soon i'm just a little worried about jyinxing it if I do it too soon.
