He took some time to settle in and was pretty nervous in the stable,but within a week was running to us in the paddock to be caught.
We lunged him and CCJ rode him he leapt to start with as he hadn't been ridden for 6 months but soon stopped messing about.
He got front shoes on, again pretty worried but only I think because of the long lay off he has had, and hacks out well alone or in company.
He is good in traffic and brave which pleased us .
Today C cantered him in circles, jumped him over several fences and he is good at jumping. He does however need a pelham despite his size as he is strong, previously having been used for Prince Philip practices.
I managed to contact his previous local P CLub the Quantoc, and they confirmed what the seller's told us was correct.
Another few days and he will be ready to sell, ideally to a lightweight 12 year old who doesn't worry about his forwardness, he has no malice just keen.
Plan is to get some pics of a smaller rider than CCj and advertise him. Does £800 sound about right?
