Since Zeb has been with us i've only ridden him once

But today I thought i'd treat myself as mum chickened out cause the weather is rough!!

Zebby can only be described as riding a brontosaurus (or whichever dinosaur has the very long neck and moves extremely slowly

)
Dear me, if someone put a bomb up his arse he might actually move, or that was the first impression anyway!

After having woken him up with a couple of smacks with a very long whacky stick he started to walk out nicely for me. I decided to take him for a spin around a kind farmers field, where you have a slight pull uphill then I turn around and canter back down, so off we set, on one pace Zeb

Bless his heart, you really have to convince him that he can actually get out of first gear and when he does, he is LUSH

Back on the rode and he is now nicely forward so I ask for a bit of leg yield and shoulder in, which he duly gives me, very nice. So all in all, can't wait to go and have a play somewhere over jumps

The difference between him and Boo though is so vast, it's going to be very strange hopping from one to the other

He is 17.2hh Chestnut lovely white blaze. He showed for 6 years before being sold on to event. He has been with Tristram Owers who PN'd him? Still sound like him? We've had him since November but he's mum's horse so I only get to play now and again. Am hoping to BE him though

Oh, his proper name is Red Mountainspring
 
I did not realise he was by Primative Rising. Also he has some pretty smart form coming 3rd at IRF at SLM is pretty hot!
 
I know, cool aye?

I think he adopts a different attitude when he is competing because he is so unenthusiastic at home but lovely!

He was also ridden by someone who doesn't "do" dressage.
