We have a date for Rockley!!!!

[pistolpete]

First of December, look out for Pete-the Feet! Boxy little dark ones coming out of egg bars whoop whoop! He's a 15hh bay with two white back socks. So nervous, excited, fearful, expectant...

Happy days!

 

[Leg_end]

Yippee! Remember that feeling well

[Meowy Catkin]

Wonderful news!

 

[amandap]

Fab news!

I'll watch the blog for him. Boxy feet will be interesting. Good luck!

 

[pistolpete]

Yep, farrier struggles to get nails in at appropriate angle, always thought that seemed uncomfortable for him in itself! Very upright in shape. He also has had other issues from we think a fall in the field last year. Hopefully fully recovered from that now. Really excited to find out what Nic thinks of him. Sweet pony, very biddable and a bit thick, not a stubborn bone in his body. Can't wait now

Yipppeeeee again! I'll have to send the blog pics to my RI here in HK, here TB has very upright feet and I'd love her to try him barefoot...

 

[pistolpete]

Thanks everyone, not even going to try and take before pics! Nic's will be up soon enough. So nervous and excited.

Yay, we have one going down on Friday so they will be there together. Feeling rather sick but excited at moment.

 

[pistolpete]

Bensmum, good luck for Friday. Maybe we will bump into each other? We are in Hampshire, similar journey length then about 150 miles. Is your horse a good traveller?

 

[bensmum]

Hope we do meet up, unfortunately she is not a good traveller or loader she has been on box rest for the last 18 months so really not looking forward to it we are allowing 2 hours to load her!!!! Lol when she came across from holland it took 10 professionals 4 hours to get her on but fingers crossed she has grown up a bit by now. Does yours do well travelling?

 

[pistolpete]

Yes and he is Dutch too! They can talk to each other! I am lucky he's a good traveller.

 

[Busybusybusy]

Ooooh you won't regret it!!
Though talking about travelling - paddy who's normally really good to load, travelled to Rockley really well, but when it came to bringing him home he had other ideas! 2 1/2 hours it took us to get him on the box - well it was mostly Nic & my friend - I was in the corner having a meltdown!!
Once he actually decided he would load, he travelled as though butter wouldn't melt in his mouth - naughty pony!!

 

[pistolpete]

haha Think they rather like the lifestyle there eh?
