My first ride on Tinner, my youngster!

[Spot_the_Risk]

And how excited was I? Tinner has been away for five weeks, being backed and brought on, and today was my first ride. He is so unworried about things, his little looks are far less than my 21 year old still does! Just one pic, OH met us in the lanes, and a reminder of how he looked in November 2009, when he was still feral.

wow, what a beauty he's turned into

 

[JenHunt]

what a lovely transformation! He's looking great!

 

[Meowy Catkin]

He looks fabulous now and it sounds like he's a brilliant riding horse in the making. Congratulations for having your first ride together.

Oh bless him in that first pic! He looks so worried and unsure... and couldn't help smiling at his straw belly

He looks like a different horse in the second pic! He looks sooo chilled and happy - well done you!

 

[reddie]

He looks great. I bet you're really pleased

 

[JFTDWS]

Fabulous - lovely transformation

 

[Spot_the_Risk]

Thank you everyone - completely over the moon at todays ride, trainer says he's always like this (too polite to say lazy!) and that's fine by me.

Oh wow, I remember the threads from when you first got him! Now, I mean this as a compliment, what a good eye you must have to spot a cracker like him when he was in his feral state! Cracking lad

 

[Spot_the_Risk]

Thank you numptynoelle, I remember looking at him in a barn of over 20 other weanlings and yearlings, and thinking 'I can't see anything blindingly wrong with him, all the angles seem to be right!'
