All happy this morning. He was easy to catch, he came to me when he saw me. It was a bit difficult to bring in 3, as Ludo is jealous and Deza is herd leader. The aren't safe together in the barn, Ludo keeps cornering him, so they are in and he is out, but Ludo and Jojo can talk over the gate.
Deza is actually a bit ribby as a safety precaution going into spring, but built so solid that you can't see it. Ludo is now on minimum rations during the Δay, he's well covered.
I had a first chop at his mane, proper little horse now instead of a driving pony

I measured him and he is exactly 15 hands but an inch bigger on the bum.
I found out why the clip is so odd! He didn't even like the noise of the scissors, and when the OH started a strimmer buzzing, he was very much on the alert. I think we need to start clipper training well before we need a clip!
He has a big trot. Not elevated like Ludo's but very useful looking.
I'm going to write to the person who did his passport at 6 months, he looks more and more like a CB to me.
