So Andy being out on loan I've been fed up with being horseless so today I picked up my new boy, he is a little project to make a nice dressage pony but an even better kids pony! He is fabulous already love him.

Have no saddle atm so going to spend the mean time doing groundwork as it won't do him any harm but can't wait to get back on. Although extremely biased I think he's mega cute, but he does need to lose a bit of weight.

Sorry for overload and picture quality I didn't want the nice camera getting wet :p

Also today was my first day at my first job :D was a brilliant day but had a nasty fall of one of the ponies on the road so very achy and sore now! Thank god I had a hat on or probably wouldn't be here right now.
 
No more Andy? :( What happened :O

This is one CUTE pony, I like him a lot :D Looks really sweet :D

Hope you enjoy the new job (minus the fall) hope your ok, have a nice hot bath
 
Andy is out on loan because I was meant to be in Italy until september/ october time but didn't quite go to plan and I came home. I couldn't bare taking him away from loanee as she adores him and does a good job with him so I'm happy for her to carry on with him.

He is mega sweet! :D forgot to mention his name is Ben but I tend to call him 'Ben the pony' so people don't get the same confusion I had with Andy when I say "I'm going to ride Andy." :p
 
He is super cute! :D Do you know his breeding? Looks very similar to my friend's new pony!

Good luck with him and hope you're not too sore tomorrow!
 
Sweet pony! Sorry to hear Italy didn't go to plan - bet you can't wait to get the lovely Andy back in September.
 
Nope don't know breeding but he came from the forest when he was 6 months so probably will never know.

Thinking I'll be very achy tomorrow (yayy) but going to have a bath in a bit and hopefully that works. :) I do really want him back but if I'm still happy with how he's going I would be happy for him stay longer with loanee but they probably won't want the responsibility of the awkward pony in through the winter. :p

If both horse and rider are happy there's no need to break that up :p
 
I like him hes cute, you must keep us updated on how your getting on with him.

Oh and I sympathise with the human names :rolleyes: I tend to just say I'm going to ride the pony.
 
Will definitely keep you all updated, can't wait to get a saddle so I can ride him :D

The human names are so frustrating! This is no joke I have a 'now' friend who when I first met wouldn't talk to me because he thought I was cheating on my boyfriend with Andy. I made things worse when he asked me if bf is my fulltime bf and I joked and said nah only weekends! :L It wasn't until he looked on my fb he realised Andy is in fact my horse and when I talk about our crazy rides it's no where near what he thought. :L
