HHO's "Bear" project pony...

[Jayzee]

Ahhhh your puppy is just perfect!!

Love the updates too!

 

[Michen]

Really enjoying Bear even if we are doing the same 50 min loop around the field (for Boggles benefit- for another couple of weeks!). He’s so much more chilled under saddle having started off a bit jumpy (checking girth, patting bum etc). Boggle is going out now in his small paddock/pen which was immensely difficult to build with a puppy thinking it was the best game ever!!

Brownie points if you can tell them apart tacked up ?

Bear on the left, Boggle on the right?
But they are frighteningly similar - good luck in winter if they're in a field together and have matching rugs and its dark - think I'd have no chance of getting the right one in ?
Lovely to see them both back under saddle

 

[HashRouge]

Bear's on the left? I feel like he has a longer mane and forelock, but that might be wrong! Glad he is going so well

Hehe yes correct. My mother couldn’t tell the difference!!! Bear is winning the tidy mane competition, god knows what Boggle is doing with his but it’s unfixable!

Indeed and more manageable! Bog sports a Mohawk

I was going with Bear left too, but on the basis of tack - plain bridle and fulmer says wobbly youngster, micklem/drop and a snaffle I presume the more established one

Aha, tbf they have whatever tack is to hand thrown on them... poor things!! aside from saddles though weirdly they both fit the GFS monarch which now fits a third connemara of mine!

 

[DabDab]

Aww, they are both looking fab ?

 

[alexomahony]

They look great - and I also went off bridles to decide Bear was on the left They look lovely <3

 

[Errin Paddywack]

I thought Bear to the left too. I think Boggle has a slightly narrower forehead.

 

[Annagain]

I thought Bear on the left because I can see the remains of a clip and remember you clipped him not that long ago! He does look a little chunkier too. I think I would struggle to identify them if they were on their own though.

I don't have any problem telling them apart

[Michen]

who is the 3rd connie, have i missed something?

My lovely Basil, who I lost to a broken leg during colic surgery. Pre Boggle!

 

[splashgirl45]

ah, i thought you meant now, i remember basil he was just my type, very sad that you lost him

Your so getting into the matchy pony thing it's such great fun isn't it

I often get asked who I am riding by people and I think some people just think I have 1 horse but ride it a lot.

 

[Michen]

In the time it took me to get my tack Bear decided being ridden sounded like too much work. My god this horse loves a nap!

meanwhile having just purchased a new saddle Bog is on box rest awaiting a scan of his injured leg but different area- swelling and heat around suspensory beach/above fetlock joint. Not lame but it’s very hot. He’d just started going out in a small pen in the field. My god if he’s injured something else and has to go back in the box with rehab I’ll be devastated... but shall see what happens tomorrow.

and a Pepper photo because she’s too cute to leave out!

 

[Jeni the dragon]

Aww poor Bog! Hope it's something that will settle quickly.
And your puppy is just sooo cute!

 

[chaps89]

Pepper's grown!
Fingers crossed it's nothing too serious for Bog.

I've had that when one was chestnut and the other was black ?

Super cute Bear and Pup Michen!

 

[Yeomans]

Good luck for today

 

[Michen]

Thank you! x

Good luck for today

 

[RHM]

Good luck with Bog today!! Got everything crossed for him! ??

 

[Michen]

Oh bummer vet having to reschedule to tomorrow!!!!

 

[CanteringCarrot]

Good luck today...err..tomorrow! Saw your post as I was posting.

My guy gave me a scare last year with swelling and heat in the same area. I envisioned all sorts of rehab and layup, but the ultrasound revealed a hematoma that quickly went away. Really hoping for something similar/simple in your case! Horses drive me nuts and I'm surprised I have no gray hair, tbh ?

 

[Pinkvboots]

Good luck for tomorrow x

 

[wren123]

Pepper is growing up, she's gorgeous!

Sorry to hear about bog, I hope it's nothing serious.

 

[Ambers Echo]

Lovely pictures. Hope all goes well tomorrow.

Good luck today
