i think he looks fab!has a lot more muscle, especially on his shoulders and also seems to have put condition on-well done!!

Thanks Rema, he really is such a genuine chap, we love him to pieces!

By the way please excuse his feet, he was in a field for 9 months before we got him and by the looks of things his farrier wasnt the best, his feet are very flat with no real shape, our farrier who is fab is coming out this week so he will hopefully sort them out a bit!

Thank you!

I cant wait for the farrier to come in a couple of days, his feet seem really good, however he isnt used to these hard surfaces and the lack of shape isnt helping either, he will be much better with a good trim!

He is also becoming more forward going too, OH is still just learning his rsing trot bless him and Beau just wanted to canter canter canter LOL, luckily he has excellent brakes and is so honest he came straight back to him. He is obivously feeling well!
 
Horse is definitely looking better!!

He looks like such a lovely jolly person.

LOL Tia, well I was asking him to smile so cue the cheesy grins!

You should have seen him trying to master rising trot while Beau was standing it was hilarious, you have enver seen anything so exaggerated!

Ah yes it was extremely long and wild, I just used a solo comb, did my other horse too, Ive never used one before and have to say I prefer it to pulling now.
 
Hello

he's coming on a treat now isn't he, and isn't OH doing well with him too. What are you planning to do with him over the summer?
 
Hiya! Yeah he is really filling out!!

Well OH loves him and wants to do some picnic rides in the spring and learn to jump, I think he may actually want to do the odd show the way he is going! My other horse has been there and done it so maybe some hunter trials and dressage, who knows, lots of plans!

Dont want to pressure OH though, he is loving just pottering around at the mo!
 
cool, that says a lot about how nice he is if your OH is talking about learning to jump etc, I think you've got a good one there

Be nice to go out together with the horses.
 
thanks! Well my friend has a 6yr old too who was only broken last summer so we are going to take them out a lot together which will be nice. Ive never actually seen my boy spook once yet, at ANYTHING!

We have had vans whiz past the school, an electrician drilling above his head on a ladder when I led him into his stable, all sorts, he seems unspookable!
