I love my youngster

[Theresa_F]

First time on my new trailer Saturday - walks straight in - it is a small trailer and I did wonder how he would find it. He has to come out backwards - waits until I tell him to move, and then out in a very controlled fashion.

Went to a show yesterday with no assistance. Chancer was very well behaved - did well and placed every class.

Walks straight in. On arriving, I undo the back, walk round untie him and he again waits for the move back command. On going home, he was halfway in the trailer - still tied up when the ramp came down. Stood quietly with a net by the trailer from 8 in the morning until 4 in the afternoon apart from doing his classes. I have to keep remembering that he was only 2 last month. He enjoyed his reward of a can of diet coke with lime and a hot cross bun - his favorites.

Sorry, self indulgent but after years of bad loaders and scatty beasts it was so nice to be able to go to a show by myself and have no problems other than keeping him clean.

Ah what a good boy!

I know what you mean, my 2 yr old is the easiest of all my neds,and I hope it stays that way!

Do you know which issue - we were in - have to get a copy - we were in the other local one Equestrian????.

Yes he is a sweetie - I am so pleased I bought him - do sometimes wonder what the mare I went to buy would have been like, but have never regretted coming home with something that apart from the breed was totally opposite to what I went to buy.

It was July issue. If you PM me your address you can have my copy.

Chancer is an absolute star, no wonder you are so proud of him!

I know what you mean about bad loaders, we have had our fair share, and I have to admit it's lovely having Otto who walks straight in no hassle (even though I have to admit to being a bad loader myself so my sister always loads him for me!).

 

[Happytohack]

What a superstar - and what a lifetime of fun you and he are going to have together. (love the can of diet coke & bun bit...)

That's marvellous Theresa - Chancer really is a little star!

Did you manage to keep the grubby little oik clean for the entire day then? LOL

 

[Theresa_F]

Believe or not yes - apart from the usual wiping off of dust and hay before the classes - and he drinks his can of coke in a very dainty manner so it doesn't go everywhere.

Roll on winter and he will be back to his little stinky self no doubt.

I also treated him to a smart new leather headcollar and day rug so he looks the part at the Amature Showing Society champs next month.
