Hi All,

Not strictly CR but am interested in what any of you have to say about him (the show pics are pro pics that I have bought social network rights to so am allowed to print).

May 2010- had 18months stuck in field, I bought him to be a quiet hack-

Sorry to bore you all senseless!!! He really is quite fab though, sooo safe and sooo quiet. I have had little wobbles on him where I worry he isn't forwards going enough but the last 6weeks (after a few treatments with a new physio' technique) he has really grown up and goes forward much more. He is 7 this year!

If anybody has any CC at all feel free.

I think he was the exception rather than the rule as was very very very easy all the way through! We did 6 weeks progressive walk hacking to start with though which I feel set off on the right foot, got his body back into shape (was quite poor when we got him) and let us get to know eachother a little- I'm a very very nervy rider so that was important.
 
Awww he is so cute and pretty! I love him, he is gorgeous and if you ever don't want him i'll have him :p.
 
thank you again.

he was bought as a quiet weekend hack for me to ride once or twice a week (I'm a bumbling amateur!!) but as I got a little curious in the school he just kept saying oh, ok then.

we have lots of lessons and are learning together (poor bugger has to have the patient of a saint, I scream ALOT!! And also work hard so that we can do things).

beginning to think he could the pony of a lifetime!!

(oh yeah, he does jumps to and grinds to a walk 4 strides after so I can gather my senses then carries on AND grinds to a walk if you drop you reins/ lose a stirrup/ cry/ grab neck strap/go wobbly in sitting trot....)

he is lovely! doing the same thing with my boy, bought him as a 3yo out of the field, having raced a hndful of times and been quite happy to bring up the rear and give everyone else a chance....no working novice, trying to go ele this summer. get so much pleasure out of doing it all yourself! he is a real credit to you, keep up the great work! :D
