I am wondering if there is anyone out there with a NF who's sire is Limekiln survivor?
I have had a NF gelding for 6 years and to be honest, he is a bit of a nutter! I have spoken to his breeder and she confirms that the sire was also a little attention seeking, and was wondering whether any other pony out of the same sire was the same?
He is an amazing jumper (4ft at home), very flashy and moves wonderfully. However gets very excited and hot headed!
After 6 years of schooling I have had to put him out on loan as a games pony (I bought him as one and reschooled him as a jumping pony!) because they games riders don't seem to mind the fizziness and I couldn't find a kid small enough and brave enough to sit there and do nothing whilst he does his thing!
I have tried all sorts of calmers with limited success. He has slightly low magnesium levels which make him a bit of a handful when the spring grass comes through but other than that nothing really seems to help, he seems as though he always has been, and always will be (?) a little pocket rocket!
Has anyone else experienced this with a forester? Even better, with one of similar breeding? He would be an amazing worker, but he just can't control his excitement for long enough!!
((P.S. I STILL CANT GET THE PICTURES TO WORK! )
