I am getting used to this whole always talk on the forum thing, its the only place I can talk horse all day and not have people fall asleep!
I was due to pickup my new boy today, and that I did!
We have decided on the name ''Oreo'' as some of you had suggested!
This is him today, he is very weedy, underweight and malnourished but generally speaking a cracker, he is as bombproof as a 2 year old could ever be. There was nowhere to park the trailer as he had been kept in a back garden (a large one!) so had to walk him down to the garden centre to load him which was next door, and that means going down a very busy main road, with petrol tankers driving past and generally the type of things most horses would probably faint over, but he just looked at them! I honestly couldn't ask for more, he is so confident! He tried to be a little bit cheeky and take off on the way back to the field after bringing him up for a feed, but I swiftly said no and he almost looked like he was going to cry bless him.
The lady I bought him from is lovely and it is not her fault he is in this mess, he has come a very long way since she had him, she bought him on her way to buy a welsh section a for her daughter, but when she saw him and the mess he was in she didn't want to leave him there! The people that bred him don't even know when he was born, they just know it was April 2010 some time!
If you have managed to make it this far, can you all give me an idea of what height you think he will make? Apparently he will make 15hh, he is VERY bum high at the moment and I would say standing at around 14hh, but I am worried he won't make enough height? I think he will but part of me doesn't. I guess it's cos hes so weedy and skinny!
