Some of you may remember me asking for help a few weeks ago in finding my next horse, thank you for all your comments and PMs

After numerous viewings, I finally found the one!!
He's a 5yr old 16.2hh Irish Sports Horse, only came over from Ireland about a month ago, he's hunted but thats pretty much it! He flew through his vetting and I picked him up last week!

Introducing 'Uno'

He's green on the flat but boy can he jump! Shame the hunt season has just finished, got to wait till the end of the year now!!

Plan is lots of hacking and getting him stronger and more balanced, then some BD and un aff sj, and hopefully the odd BE event towards the end of the season, it may have stopped raining by then!!

Matchy Matchy is the new Anky 'French Blue'
 
He's gorgeous, I love greys like him :)

Is your little ginger pony ok- did I miss an update on her, or is he a second string for your bow?

No not good :-( was diagnosed with pretty severe kissing spines, Bone scan also showed arthritic changes in her neck, she went from amazing to completely unrideable in a matter of days! Steroid injections made no difference, blocking her back didn't help either so surgery was unlikely option. Time off made her worse and she deteriated quite quickly, started looking lame walking around the field, so made the decision to have her put to sleep :-( thank you for asking after her :-)

I'm so sorry for your loss :( She had an amazing time with you. I hope Uno continues to be awesome, and you have an amazing time with him.
 
He looks wonderful and you look like a good match as well - I'm sure the flatwork will come on in no time :). Look forward to seeing some more updates.
 
Oh nice breeding. Slyguff Hero was a full brother to King of Diamonds. Terenure Lad is still an outcross stallion, I love Silver Granite, your horse is a nice type, 3/4 Id with Fast Frigate as the dam sire. Very nice!
 
What a lovely horse, he is just my type, well, apart from the colour when he greys out :D you should do some workers with him hes such a nice type
