Neddy Big Dog

[Shantara]

I've decided Ned's new nickname is Big Dog.

We went on a little walkies today and it was just like having a huge dog! He's SUCH a good boy to walk, I forget he's on the end of the rope sometimes

Do any of you guys have any big dogs?

Soppy kisses and cuddles

Down the slope

Though, he's a dog that you can sit on!

Having a paddle

And finally having a look at the town! We didn't go in because it was a little busy and he didn't have any hi-viz on, but maybe next time

My horse is probably better to lead than my dog!

Although they don't play fetch quite so well. Mine walks too fast on the lead rope, she just takes me out for a drag!

My friend used to have a horse that would play fetch. If you threw a stick for him in the field he would pick it up and bring it back. An odd chap in many ways.

I had a pony who played fetch with a frisbee! I've got a video somewhere I'll try to add!

. Hmm clearly something missing from my training programme lol. But I have seen vids of them playing with balls so maybe I'm underestimating their dog like abilities ?!

awww , love Neddy , he's gorgeous!!! have to admit i don't even use a head collar on Shadow much, he just follows on behind me , i stop , he stops , never goes in front, he is a very cool horse!

Mine chases balls sticks and frisbee with differing degrees of enthusiasm (loves his big gym ball, not as fussed about the stick, can't wrestle the stick!). Ned looks more chilled to lead than mine though!

Yes I have an overgrown dog too its fantastic fun as I cant ride much or well due to a wonkey leg so really enjoy my overgrown cuddly friend he follows me everywhere but does get giddy sometimes and likes to play games in the paddock if I can find something to flop on from we have little bareback strolls in the halter down the track hes reasonably well voice command trained and on the whole I just wave my arms and point where I want him to go from the ground which amuses most the yard when he is being obliging as I often open the field gate and just say away to bed now mr and off he toddles don't get me wrong he sometimes stops for grass on the way but if I walk after hmm he shuffles onto bed for supper its so cute

Another one with a big dog here, except instead of stopping to tinkle on everything, she's stopping to eat anything in sight lol!

Aww, Neddy is looking fab! :smile3:

Just one weeeny little pedantic note - if you're leading him on the road, he should really be on your left, as per Highway Code (Rule 53: https://www.gov.uk/rules-about-animals-47-to-58/horse-riders-49-to-55)
