I can't believe it's been a year since Blue walked off the dealer's lorry and straight into her new stable. She's gone from a worried wee horse with no concept of interacting with humans to... Well, I'd like to say to a cuddly, affectionate soul, but she's still a grumpy moo! She's just a grumpy moo who pokes her head to see what's happening, rather than staying safely at the back of her box.
She's learned to canter in the school and out hacking (although hasn't quite learned what brakes are...). She's learned to long rein, and taken to it like a natural. She's been on a lorry, and loaded and travelled like a star. She's been to horsepital, where she disgraced herself by snapping two lead ropes and terrorising a vet nurse (but then acted like butter wouldn't melt when I picked her up).
We've celebrated Christmas:
We've done a little bit of this (at extremely high speed):
And we've done an awful lot of this:
She might not be glamorous or eye-catching, but I can't imagine a more perfect horse for me. She's done so much for my confidence, and I've never had so much fun hacking.
Here's hoping we have many more fabulous years ahead. And also, that she isn't too muddy when she comes in this evening.
