[Roasted Chestnuts]

Been doing some good work with the wee guy in between shows.

Lots of inhand work and inhand walks. We have traffic if all types down pat and will lead older horses past things they are spooking at with no hesitation

He’s doing really well

He’s just lovely, such an attractive looking little chap.

Thank you we went to a local country park with a river last week and he forced the river by himself as he just couldn’t wait for me to stumble through the rocky bed, I clearly wasn’t quick enough for him

Ah, bless 😃😃

What a stunning and beautifully put together horse.

I saw on another thread, that you wondered why you'd had few replies to this?

I looked at this post - but it lacked information for me to make any comment other than 'lovely horse' or 'nice colour'.

You can, to some extent, trigger more views/responses by the way you frame your content.
E.g. You post 'look at my lovely horse at playtime' - people look, may 'like', and move on.
You post 'Isn't my horse lovely - here he is at playtime' - people might say 'Yes, lovely horse' or still just 'like' it.
You post 'Here's my 2yo Welsh cob at playtime in the school. Can anyone suggest any other in-hand exercises I can do?' and people will engage a lot more - to give you ideas, etc.

I would have to say that the number of views/replies does NOT reflect the quality of the content - my 'Why do people want to own cobs?' thread being an example of particular silliness with no real merits, and yet it has had hundreds of thousands of views.

Good post Shilasdair. It's true that a lovely post may receive lots of likes but few comments and then disappear down the page.
I love these posts where horse and owner are doing great. It gives a balance to the forum.
