This is my 3year old (rising 4) who you kind folks helped me name. As you can gather we settled on Smoke Signal, which I really like. He has done absolutely nothing and has just been backed and walked round the lanes a bit. Today he was brought in, hosed down, though I gave up doing much as it was too exhausting chasing him round spraying water all over the place.
He then followed Sienna straight onto the lorry. (only been on one when he was delivered)
Stood like a rock all the way to the party venue (actually just a local livery yard, with lovely school)
Came off the lorry & stood calmly while Sienna was tacked up, the Will rode her for half an hour while I introduced him to the concept of an arena.
Having only one saddle between them, I then nicked his saddle and hopped on Coco for 15 mins at the end. He walked & trotted round sweetly for a bit then we called it a day.
He's got teeth coming through and a lumpy jawline so we'll stick to a weekly hack round the block for a month or two.
He didn't put a foot wrong today tho' went straight on the lorry both ways & was polite & lovely so very pleased with him.
Here are a couple of crap pictures of 2 old fatties & a rather sweet toyboy.

I did wonder if you had bought a WB??? He is even more lovely then, and bound to get even nicer in a year or so as they are mostly v immature looking at 4.

Smoke Signal was a great choice of name

I had him originally to produce for sale, but soon realised he will take at least a year before he can any real work, so decided to buy him. He is very immature in the flesh tbh, unfortunately he's desperate for attention so needs a bit of a job, still he's highly entertaining.
