Little Stig's 1st turnout and 1st friend!!

[joeanne]

Today Little Stig was allowed a couple of hours in the small paddock we have hastly chucked together for him!
Turned him out and he took off like a rocket, at a flat out gallop.....then stopped dead as he noticed the neighbours all stood staring at him.
Cue the emergence of "show off ponio". Not even sure HE was aware he could trot on the spot!
After a few "intros" over the the gate, we put Ruby in with him, as she tends to adopt anything that breathes and so Little Stig has his first friend!
Little Stig has now figured how to "collapse" to avoid going back to bed

So thats two little things he has now to show his disapproval....pogo-ing and throwing himself down on the floor

After he had settled down a bit!

Little Stig meets Ruby....

Awwww friends....

ETS just to give you an idea of his size, thats an 11hh section A!

 

[Wigglypigs]

Fantastic. You have done an amazing job!

 

[Chico Mio]

Awwww, Stig's got a big friend

You're doing a cracking job with him - even in his pjs he looks so much better than before.

Go the pogo ponio!!

 

[PoppyAnderson]

Go Little Stig! Lovely seeing him come on in leaps and bounds.

 

[ruscara]

Oooh, look at him in his ikkle rug!
I am so enjoying your updates, here and on Facebook. You are doing a grand job, it's wonderful to see!

 

[NR99]

Aww lovely you must be so pleased

 

[MrsMozart]

Wow, how 'big' is LS?

Lovely day.

 

[ester]

lol, love to here the updates and see the pics!

It is going to be v interesting to see how he turns out in the end.

and he has a friend

he really is tiny though :O

 

[3Beasties]

OMG I can't believe how tiny he is!! Ruby looks huge! What breed do you think he is?

You are doing a fab job with him

 

[joeanne]

You know I haven't measured his height, I was more intent on measuring his middle!

I shall do that tomorrow Mrs M, but at a guess maybe 32inches....(he is certainly no bigger than my mini who herself is 32 inches)
In any case I think its fair to say his personality will always be bigger than his height ever will be!

 

[ladybones]

Bless his little cottons! I didnt realise exactly how small he really is! Do you think the neglect will have effected his growth? You're really doing a fab job, i always look forwards to Stig updates.

 

[CorvusCorax]

Bless him, and bless you for your good work x

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

O bless him!!

He is soooooo tiny standing next to an 11h

!! Anyway I'm glad he has a friend and he can go out to stretch his legs - even if it is too pogo

!! - I'm sure fresh air, grass and friends will make all the difference to him!!

 

[Fii]

good old stig, by the way have you gestamated his age yet and you prob have said and i missed it but do you know what breed he is?

You'll have to have a height and weight chart

. Measure his progress

 

[VictoriaEDT]

aww bless him?! Did you get his rug from the equine clothing company by any chance?!

Yes we are weighing him on a weekly basis...from next week I shall have proper scales (those bar things you put a board over) thanks to a lovely friend.

 

[joeanne]

His rug was very kindly sent to him by another forum member

We managed to find one little stable rug that was too big and then some lovely HHO'ers came to the rescue.

Who would have thought small rugs were so hard to find!

 

[debsflo]

he is totally adorable.

 

[spookypony]

Fantastic!! Look forward to seeing the updates (and more action shots)

 

[Booboos]

Awwwww! So cute!

He must be really tiny, I thought his 11hh friend was about 14.2!!

 

[Ravenwood]

Yay - a Little Stig update

What a relief it must be for you and him that he can finally be turned out

 

[Three]

I'm another avid facebook follower of Stigs.

He looks sooo teeny! But sooo perky.

You're doing a fantastic job.

 

[chestnut cob]

He is so tiny!!

I don't post much now but love reading your updates, you're doing a great job. It's so lovely to see how he's improving

 

[Natch]

Lovely to hear the update, looking forward to the next one!

I also thought his friend was 14.2!

 

[Collytown]

Bless him he is so lovely and also very lucky to have found you and your oh, you have done en excellent job with wee stig

 

[Box_Of_Frogs]

I could eat him, rug and all! So glad he found you and your OH x

 

[Ravenwood]

I would like to join Little Stigs FB group - could someone give me the link please?

ETA: ignore that - just seen it in suggestions

 

[flohelf]

What a cutie ! Looking better and better

I'm following his progress on FB but can't get enough of your updates, joanne

 

[Ellies_mum2]

Sounds as though he is growing into his personality by the day

Looking forward to finding out how big he is too. Keep up the good work joeanne
