My new Beastie Missi 
She's 16.2hh, 5 years old ISH. She came over from Ireland in a sorry state in April but has blossomed into a rather porky beast! She arrived with me on Sunday
She's hunted in Ireland and since being over here has done a couple of small training shoes. She is a bit lazy but I'm hoping as her fitness, confidence and interest improves so will her attitude to working!
She is so sweet on the ground, was completely chilled when she came of the lorry after a four hour journey and fell asleep in her stable whilst we gave her a good groom.
She's had a few days to settle out in the field before I took her on her first ride yesterday, she was really good considering it was her first ride in a new home, she was more forward going then I thought she would be and was happy to go in front. I think there is a 'tantrum queen' in there which will probably make an ugly appearance at some point but she's really sweet on the ground and I don't mind a little bit of attitude when ridden as long as it doesn't become a big issue. Will hack her quietly with others for a week or so, do some work in the school and then venture out on my own with her.
Really stressed out on day 2
