The lovely Louie poncing around- lesson report

[Kokopelli]

Louie has been living with me for 10 days now, he's AWESOME! I actually adore him and so wish I could buy him but he is going to be such a cracking pony.

We're booked in for our first stressage comp on Sunday and looking forward to it and on monday he's going for a baby sj depending on weather. We ran through our test in our lesson yesterday and he went beautifully but is a bit unbalanced/ weak sometimes but that will come shortly once he's got more topline. Really need to work on my left elbow, in some pictures it's alright and in one I just don't know what's going on

He's been hacking on his own and in company and has been a dream, he's lovely to have around the yard I'm so looking forward to the coming year.

Anyway enough rambling here's the piccies (CC welcome)

Also a little one of him jumping the other day (now who said dressage ponies can't jump)

Looks fab! I have first stressage comp on Tuesday but the fences my baby and I have been popping are much smaller than yours - you clearly have more nerve than I do!

Gorgeous Boy and what a brilliant name (my son is Louie

 

[tallyho!]

Wow he's lovely! Now how did he arrive in your life? Can I steal him?

Lovely pic, what boots do you have on as they looked really weird like they are velcroed inside and the pads are on the outside on some pics .... How is Andy's
Loan going ?

Thank you! It's a fab name, the poor boy gets so many nick names though.

Thanks he is my boss' pony and I have him on loan to sell on he was previously working at medium until he had a bit of time off so really looking forward to the coming year. And no you can't steal him, you wouldn't wnat him honestly he bucks, rears, naps doesn't jump and is rubbish at dressage (honestly he is )

Thank you He's got trizone brushing boots at the front and normal WW ones on the back. I think because his legs are stupidly skinny the velcro is quite long which could make it look like they velcro in the wrong place. The joys of having a ridiculously fine horse

ETA: Quite well thanks (I'm even considering selling him )
