Some might remember that my loan cobs owner wanted to sell him last year but in the end, with finances the way they were etc I heartbrokenly told her I was unable to. She agreed to leave him on loan with with me but this year, due to personal circumstances, she really had to sell. I had been sharing his costs with my friend but as of the beginning of this year I took over all the running costs of him myself to see if I could genuinely manage to run two horses.
After some frantic scrabbling to get the money together, as of Sunday, he became MINE..!! I still keep having to pinch myself that he actually belongs to me and I never have to worry about him being taken away from me ????
I'm hoping to show him in hand at some point so would like to give him a more "posh" passport name than he has....he's just "Rocket" on there which is his pet name.
Suggestions on a postcard ??
Squeeeeeeeeee ???
(Just to add, he's 11 and 15.1 1/2 with 10.5" of bone..!!! I've had him here for 2 and a half years :) )View attachment 82845View attachment 82846

Well done SLH and here's to many happy years with him! We call someone I know who speaks very slowly Rocket Ron! So slightly tongue in cheek but you could add any name starting with R to it - Rocket Rodney, Rocket Rob, Rocket Ranaldo...

Thank you everyone for your lovely words ?
I'm just so happy to be able to finally relax and enjoy him. I know a loan means they don't belong to you and I really didn't intend to fall so in love with him, esp as I have Rex too but there's just something about this idiot creature that makes my heart do a happy dance ???

That's what counts! I didn't realise you wanted to keep him, I hope Rex's nose isn't too out of joint, but I can always offer him a home if he wants to leave ?
