*Severe warning* No hat..... :-(

[louisem]

But just wanted to share that 'Chuckles' is very happy to be back.....
After almost a year of 'issues' his ears are forwards again and although the style is a little 'onward' I'm so happy we can look ahead to at least a few years of doing what he loves best.... JUMPING!!!!!
BTW,yes,he IS huge! ;-)

Wow, he certainly has presence, doesn't he?! Lovely boy

 

[tigers_eye]

Who is he?! He looks rather a lot to hold together! But as you say looks happy enough to be doing the job. However, I did notice 75% of your fences are in the same place as when I was there! Not on!

 

[Saf]

He is huge, as for the hat...your choice
Rather like him

They have moved 'SO MANY TIMES' that obviously they are BACK in a SIMILAR place.... :-S

Truly,he is lovely......
A real enthusiast,'jump or die' and size apart,so easy to ride. Hoping to do some big(ger) classes with him (he has routine enough) and a few 6 bars. A horse like him,with a permanent smile on his face is an honest-to-God pleasure to ride )))))

 

[tigers_eye]

There's grass growing under them......

Move your jumps, then just canter over the grassy bits a few times, problem solved!

 

[ecrozier]

Flipping heck HOW big?! He is lovely tho!

This I shall do.....
However,should you decide to 'trot' over here,I *might* completely change the course?????

 

[louisem]

Flipping heck HOW big?! He is lovely tho!

How enormous? He looks about 17.3hh! He is lovely though and looks so cheery to be jumping

 

[ecrozier]

Working on how big roo is in cm.... Got to be not far off 18hh?

 

[louisem]

Er...could be 18hh,but besides the point! Yes,super happy to be jumping. I will be doing my utmost to ensure that this lovely chap continues to have a fun,competitive career as long as he can,then he will be my youngster 'headmaster' for the rest of his distinguished life! )
@Chuckles.....

 

[PorkChop]

Wow, he is gorgeous, I am a complete sucker for a ginger, I bet his canter feels amazing

 

[louisem]

Yes...and he knows it :-/

 

[Santa_Claus]

wow he is huge but looks rather lovely.

also hee hee hee @ grass comments

 

[Mince Pie]

1.79m in inches is 70.4 so with 4 inches to a hand makes him 18.2!

Lovely big horse though, will be interested to see how he gets on

 

[louisem]

1.79m in inches is 70.4 so with 4 inches to a hand makes him 18.2!

Thanks for that! Sounds huge!!!!
Hopefully he will now become part of the Arenberg/louisem team (as opposed to the billy-no-mates-stay-at-home saddo)

Hope you to are well ;-)

 

[TarrSteps]

Can't see vids on the phone but Chin Chin x Nabab de Reve. . .mmmmmm! And just my size.

Sounds fab. What's his first outing?

 

[louisem]

'In at deep end' Le Pins,Blaye,Rodez tour....
Luckily Badette has 6yo classes so he can do the small tour and Tea-bag,with his newly found 'Oirish' courage will be All-Over the big tour!!!! ;-)

 

[louisemum]

Looking good Louise , So does "Chuckles" But was that bright light "THE SUN"? Haven't seen it in a loong time ! And where was The Hat anyway? It might have been useful to keep the sun out of your eyes !

 

[TarrSteps]

Ah ha ha! Busted by your mother! Gotta love the internet!

Sounds like good fun! Lots of chances to get in the ring and an exciting line up.

Can't wait to see the new and improved Tea-bag. (Green Tea? )
