It’s happening!

Hay, straw and feed! I woke up at 4 worrying about the vetting. Luckily I have a busy morning at work which should keep me occupied

Add a thermometer and some saline for wound cleaning to the first aid list. It's always useful to know the normal temp, pulse and respiration of a horse so you know if any of them are elevated. OP give your new horse time to settle in and then when he/she is relaxed ask someone to show you how to take them and make a note of them. Your chosen vet will be very impressed if you need to contact them and can give them this information. Fingers crossed for the vetting and photos are obligatory.

He passed!!! The vet said he seems a very good buy! He comes tomorrow. Here you all go!

[J&S]

Love the white socks! Be happy.

 

[Lammy]

Looks lovely! Sounds like you’ll be going to the local tack shop tonight for an ‘essentials’ shopping spree enjoy!

 

[outdoor girl]

Yay. He looks lovely. Better add whitening to your grooming kit. Those lovely white legs will take some keeping clean!! Happy days

 

[outdoor girl]

P.S. Does he have a name or are we having a naming game?

 

[ycbm]

He is nice!

 

[southerncomfort]

Very nice! Can't wait to hear all about your adventures together. ?

 

[Annagain]

He looks lovely. It took me 14 months to find mine so you've done really well!

 

[Errin Paddywack]

Very nice, love a bright bay, especially a Welsh.

 

[quiteniceforacob]

He’s called Frankie. I spent £85 today on seemingly nothing - the livery yard is lovely and lending me lots of stuff to tick me over.

I hadn’t thought about whitening but I’ll add that. He comes tomorrow so I’m imagining this is another night of no sleep!

 

[MuddyMonster]

Welcome to the world of horse ownership! £85 on seemingly nothing will soon look very cheap indeed

But seriously, he looks lovely so good luck with him

 

[Red-1]

He looks gorgeous!

 

[Dave's Mam]

He's gorgeous.

 

[Lois Lame]

There's an echo here, but yes, he's gorgeous.

Good luck - please be careful right now when buying (sorry, I don't want to ruin your fun)

Me and 2 other friends of mine have bought and been missold over the pandemic - so many people are buying and I think that's given people more time and ability to work to make the 'crazies' look worth buying!

Enjoy, I'm sure you'll find the right one! I have now thankfully.

 

[Adoni123]

Oh you've already done it! He looks lovely

 

[southerncomfort]

Is he home yet?? ?

 

[SheriffTruman]

I'll have to echo as well - he's gorgeous!

 

[quiteniceforacob]

He’s home!! Pranced off the horsebox to a crowd of around 30 at the yard ooing and awning at him! He had a walk around the school on a long rein and is settled in his stable. I’m excited to see him in the morning.

 

[SaddlePsych'D]

(More) PIIIIICS!!

How exciting! I hope he settles in well.

 

[Jayzee]

[alexomahony]

As a HUGE Welsh Cob fan and proud owner I am thrilled to read this thread He looks BEAUTIFUL! Please more piks!

 

[Trouper]

OK - we need a head shot - you know how we all love to assess character from the eyes
Hope you have many happy years together.

 

[WelshHoarder]

He's beautiful - and as someone owned by 2 Welsh C's and a suspected part-bred D, I thoroughly approve of the choice. Look forward to more pics!

 

[IcarusGirl]

Congratulations - i'm waiting for a vetting for my next welsh D too, so we can compare notes!

Yours is lovely - cant beat a nice set of white socks on a D!
