I just read it, You really didnt have much luck! It looks like its all going well for you now tho! And I really like your boy, he looks similar to my 4yo. What breeding is he?
My other horse has Kissing spines but unluckily we where unable to make him comfortable enough to be ridden but he is quite happy being a pampered lawn mower bless him!
Thanks for your lovely comments and no at times I feel like my middle name is 'lucky' - NOT!
Funnily enough Wills may look like a TB but his lovely mum was TB X Trakener and his daddy was ID X Hannoverian so he should in fact be a big strapping monster but has turned out to be the image of his mummy who was PTS in Sept 2005 and I miss like mad.
He has started to be able to go out in his field, when weather permits, for a couple of hours a day and has started 15 mins of lunging and is doing really well.
I have to say that walking an exhuberant baby horse in hand, with only one hand and trying to keep him calm has certainly tested us both and he's been a star!
