My new horse arrived today!

[Hornby]

I lost my chestnut ID just before Christmas (it was very sad but he was 26). Today my new horse arrived, he is a heavyweight show cob called Buddy! And he is grey! See pics, as he arrived and meeting my mare Kangaroo who is very happy to have a friend again. I hope they are not too large, I have not posted pics for ages please don't kill me!

I'm not too sure if we will go down the "top level" showing route but we will take some time to get to know each other, then decide.

Very handsome!

Aww bless

Are you letting his mane and forelock grow again ?

 

[_Libby_]

He looks gorgeous!

 

[DiablosGold]

He is gorgeous!! Hope you keep him clipped and hogged! Have fun with him

 

[tiggie]

Oh he is just gorgeous. Good luck with him

 

[Hornby]

Thank you for your comments.

It is sacrilege to let a show cob have a long mane! At the moment he looks so smart compared to my hairy mare that I will have to resist the temptation to clip all her hair off too! There is also the advantage that I can cover him in rugs to keep him clean without losing mane. However, never say never!

 

[EventingMad]

He is one handsome chap!

Hope you have loads of fun together!

He reminds me of a pony we used to own - he has the same twinkle in his eye!

[k1mca]

so glad he arrived safely and I look forward to hearing all about my old boy. He looks very happy in his new surroundings and will love having a girlfriend.

 

[Foxford]

Wow! A good heavyweight is rarer than rocking horse poo, so I'm told! I hope you get out into the ring later on in the season.

 

[ladylisa]

Wow he is a stunner.
What are his stats....age, height ect

 

[Tiffany]

Now that's what I call a cob - he's gorgeous. How's he bred - ID?

 

[slivertonics]

wow i love him! what a handsome boy you have, i hope you have many great years of fun together! gotta love a grey!

 

[JoBo]

He is stunning! I’m sure you are going to have lots of fun together!

Oh and I love the hogged look too, plus it’s so much easier to keep them clean!

 

[Hornby]

Thank you to everyone for the very nice comments! He is 7 rising 8, 15.1 exactly or whatever it is in cms (life height certificate). He has no papers unfortunately but came from Ireland 3 years ago, I believe. (Looks ID to me - but I am biased in their favour!). Luurve has broken out between him and my mare, little kisses and gentle smelling and winkering to each other but sensible if I take one in and leave the other for a while. Fingers crossed we all get to know each other nicely.

 

[FestiveFuzz]

Awww he's gorgeous.........good luck for the future

 

[Ravenwood]

He looks super - I hope you will be bringing him to Exmoor for a holiday!

 

[ISHmad]

Awwww he looks really nice.

 

[alwayslast]

He is just too gorgeous. Looks great hogged too.

 

[Tia]

Aww I'm so happy for you Hornby

. He's lovely and clean - will he always stay clean?? Wishing you many happy years with him.

Oh and I LOVE your little mare; particularly as she is hairy!
