We decided it was time to get a new horse since Toon died - after all, we couldn't leave Fern on her own for ever because we wanted to move back home for winter. Last week we went to see a lovely Clydesdale x Thoroughbred, 15 years old and 16.2hh called Derek.. turned out we loved him and to cut a long story short we bought him. How hard it has been to keep it quiet!
Today he arrived.. delivered from Forest of Dean.. calm as a cucumber he stepped off the lorry then walked about 7 acres to get to the field separated from Fern for tonight and tomorrow morning so they can get accustomed. In he went and had a sniff with Fern - there was no fighting even though Fern can be a bitch with other horses. I must say, her 15.1hh self does look like a pony next to his rather stocky 16.2hh body.
Some BD Members may recognise him or AM Dressage Demo watchers!
