Great to read such a positive post and what a difference in him

Lovely, lovely post - I particularly like your 'cantering along xc' photo

 

[Firewell]

Thank you all .
I went to the yard this morning, have been in London for a couple of days so haven't seen him. He was so pleased to see me, blowing hot air on my face, nibbling my hair and resting his head on my shoulder <3.
I know this time last year I was seriously thinking of selling him, serious attacks of self doubt. I felt like I wasn't doing him justice. Its when I decided to stop being a wimp and entered him for Iping BE which he stormed round lol that I wondered how could I ever contemplate getting rid of this horse! I think when you decide to sell a horse and you cant stop crying thinking about it and loose half a stone in 3 days at the thought of them leaving and never being yours again that you know you are meant to keep them .
Human overthinking everything! .

Nope he's my friend and my trusty steed .

Thank you all for the comments xxxx

He is gorgeous and you have done a great job with him, you have a real bond and a great partnership. I too have found my horse of a lifetime so i know exactly how you feel

Wonderful post, and fantastic little horse (oh, and of course rider )

Lovely lovely post, but don't forget - he hasn't got to look that good simply by luck! You have taken a "scrawny TB" and made him into one very smart horse! All credit to you, I think - and quite inspirational to those of us at the start of that journey. I aspire to have photos like that in my collection, in a few years!

Aah, lovely post, very inspirational. Well done both of you.

Brilliant post, really nice to read.

Lovely post and the photos tell the same story - of a lovely bond between the pair of you and you both improving together over time

 

[Alfami]

Lovely. He looks so happy and that's what we're all striving for!

Well done.

Al and Reg having a love in last night. HHO is the best advertisement for how ex-racers are a really amazing choice for any type of rider, from ambitious teenager to dressage divas to someone who wants an all round good egg come superstar

Honestly, people who rubbish them need a slap and a poke

Awww what a super post, best of luck to you.

Ha ha I couldnt agree more! Of course they wont be for everybody, but I think a lot more people would find out how useful they are if they weren't so predjudiced! Hopefully that is changing now .

Thanks everyone . Still really happy
