Sharkie update

[Shantara]

Remember the horse I helped buy a while back? Well, I thought I owed you guys an update on him

I've STILL not ridden him! I swear, Ned knows when I want to have a go on another horse. He always messes up somehow and I feel I have to get on him and work through it. Huff! I will ride him soon.

Turns out he is as lazy and laid back as they said! He's really getting into the routines at his new home and has settled in extremely well.
His only issue is he's quite clumsy, but that comes with his laziness I think. He's good at jumping though! Like they said, he never refuses, but sometimes he does stop, look, then jump!

He's going hunting on saturday, so that'll be the big test
He's such a big friendly boy and looooves attention. A very very good buy!


Here's both my boys

So do you own this horse?

 

[Shantara]

It's hard to explain. I paid £200 towards him and he was £650 in total.
I don't have to pay for vets or anything, but I bought him a bridle and numnah. So, I helped buy him, but I don't technically own him.

Why did you put money towards buying him? Not snotty just wondering if you have a contract that he's party your's or something?

It's a really long story but the basics are - we had some spare money from a fundraising thing that went wrong (thing were were raising for was resolved) and we desperately needed a new big horse after one died and another 3 were moved by the owners. I had raised £200 and was very excited to put it towards a new horse.

We've got an agreement, yes!

Just wanted to let everyone know (who remembered me getting him) that he's doing well, really
