Everyone is probably aware by now, but CS was PTS last week.
His behaviour became more erratic and quite simply, he was dangerous. The long and the short of it, is that we tried everything we could. Retiring him to the field didn't work for various reasons, and he displayed that he was more unhappy than ever.
It was the hardest decision we've ever had to make, but it was the right thing to do by him.
Sleep tight beautiful boy, I'll never forget everything you taught me xxx (photo taken by friend and fellow HHO-r)
However, as one door closes, another always opens. When CS was first turned away to the field, we started looking for another. It would be impossible to just replace him, and take away the pain, but none of us could face an empty stable.
So we went on a mission
And weren't disappointed
Please meet Goofy (Hallo-L)... A 2yo KWPN colt Charmeur x Kennedy...

Goofy has gone out in the field with Bruce (who promptly ran around with his *** out), and they seem to be getting on really well. He's a lovely quiet chap, and happy to follow you around.
Surrounded by reminders of what big sparkly boots he has to fill...
He leads in and out well, has learnt rugs aren't terrifying, nor are picking your feet up, to stand whilst having a tidy up, and how to give good grass breath kisses
And in other news... Not much exciting happening. Bruce loving hacking with his sharer. Fig continuing to gain experience at Adv Med (training) and working PSG at home. NMT getting a tailcoat for Christmas!
Fig is... As nosey as ever...
As handsome as ever...
And as daft as ever...
And as bouncy as ever...

In fact, this was his reaction to Goofy:
And this was Goofys reaction...

That's all from us for now. Not much very exciting planned. Buying lots of saddlepads and over rugging our horses most likely...
