I think I have a video somewhere - a rather shaky video as the person filming couldn't stop laughing. T always looks so pleased with himself when he picks things up I can't actually tell him off for it :o

Thank you Vetwrap - he is a very special boy :)

I would love to see that some time if you ever feel like uploading it :) What a character :D
 
It must be wonderful to have such fantastic surroundings to ride in. Where I am, although there's some lovely countryside, the riding's all on roads which have a fair amount of sometimes very fast traffic on them.

It sounds blissful where you are.

It is great, but then the yard is a 20/25 minute drive away from home. You can understand why I think it is worth it though!

T is very, very good in traffic (in fact I used to let him be used for the BHS riding and road safety awards) and I have had him at yards in the past with mainly roadwork, but after some idiot driver 'didn't see him' I have valued off road riding rather more! :eek:

How we could write off a car and walk away with no more than a couple of scratches I'll never know..

I'm the opposite, Mollie's only 5 mins up the road, but the riding's pretty rubbish. I'm still terrified of riding her on the roads and she's still spooky too. :-( But if I moved her further from home, the additional cost of petrol etc would be a problem, plus I have to get family or friends to see to her when I'm on an overnight shift so I need her to be convenient for them too.

Thank goodness you were bothe okay after your accident. :eek:

Did you come across Clare Molyneux when doing the road safety stuff? She's an old friend of mine, I think she did the BHS road safety thing in Scotland.

I know the name but don't think I ever met her. At the time T was on a livery yard who also did the BHS training and they were a bit short of decently schooled, safe horses who could jump so I used to let them use him for any half decent novices :)
 
Can I bore you all with a couple from this morning? A bit of a dreich day in the Borders but lovely and still :)

That sentence says it all.
He is a fabulous horse, I love the pictures. You and he have something very special and unique, the photo's show so much more than a beautiful horse and stunning scenery, I'm really touched.
 
This morning's additions are beautiful. I think you should do a daily photo-blog of your walks out with the ginger dude for us :)

I should really get into the habit of carrying a camera with me :) Though I think everyone else would get bored of pictures of the ginger yak fairly quickly :rolleyes: :D

ETA my facebook friends are not so lucky, there are zillions of T photos up there :)
