Well I started out at 5 am and got home at 11 pm yesterday, flew from Stanstead to Edinburgh and then about 80 miles each way drive - but it was worth it. Tania came with me and we had a lovely day, the scenery was spectacular - the sat nav took us via tiny one track sheep roads the last 11 miles.
Miss Farra is all we want - steady, calm and very kind. Lovely to ride, only fault was a little nappy at leaving her mates - in that she tried to turn round a few times but that was all, nothing nasty in her at all and very willing and light to ride. We both had big grins when we rode her, which says it all.
Front feet need a bit of work - but vet said good farrier and her finishing growing will sort it. She does have an inside outtie belly button but again nothing wrong - just a lump. Few rubs due to flies but they are by a river and where we are is far better to a horse that is sensitive to flies and midges - Chancer would rip himself apart if kept there. Shame as it was one of the most beautiful places you could visit. She passed the 5* vetting though.
She reminded Tania so much of Cairo as he was as a baby - still all legs and so much filling out. She will be a big girl - she is already 17 hands and is only just 4. Vet reckons about 17.2 when done.
Have told her about her new little brother and I know Chancer will be so much happier for another big clydie to be with.
She is now on the lorry and should be home for Tuesday.
Will post loads of pics and bore you about her in the future. Can't wait to get her and my husband happy again - he has missed Cairo and not having a horse to love terribly.
