I have a new boy!

[Stoxx]

Smartie has finally arrived! He is a 4 year old hanoverian by Florencio and stands about 16.2/16.3 at the moment.

He had a 5 hour journey yesterday but travelled brilliantly and doesn't seem fazed by the move at all. He has settled in very quickly and seems happy.

He has had the last 2 weeks off so today he let off some steam on the lunge and then I had a sit on and he was as good as gold.

I am delighted with him so far and really looking forwards to the future. I am planning to have lots of lessons and take him out and about to clinic's over the next few months before hopefully doing BD on him in the Spring.

Not a great picture of him as it was taken on my phone last night, but you get the jist

 

[Divasmum]

Lovely horse. I hope he has a good BD career with you.

He looks lovely, I agree with Mrs Worried - lovely face. He also looks very well, nice to have a shiny coat like that in December. He looks ready for some action. Best of luck

He was with a rider in Gloucestershire, the rider had produced him and was selling him on behalf of his owner.
