introducing myself and my new horse

[mavandkaz]

Hi! i have been lurking on here for a while and made a few posts but never formally introduced myself so....
I'm Karen, live in basingstoke. 6 weeks ago i bought a new horse (had a 4yr old before that but it didn't work out and my confidence took a battering). his name is maverick and has just turned 8. hoping to do a bit of everything with him - have entered for a local dressage comp held at the yard next week

could be interesting as we currently resemble a giraffe more then a horse!
first time posting pics so hope it works. these were taken when he first arrived - he has put on a fair bit of condition since.

He looks lovely, is he full TB?

He has a TB face, but then when I saw the legs and the decent feet, I thought he can't be full TB!!
Welcome! I too have a young one, but she is going back due to not being a good match... ovely mare, but just not ready for to compete on sadly!
Want piccys of the dressage!!

 

[mavandkaz]

know exactly what you mean about not being a match! so happy to have something that i can just get on and go out and have fun with. have hopefully roped OH into camera duties
