Well my baby is 3, acts like a 3yr old but has a head of a 7 year old. Throughout the year he has been doing a lot of this

We broke him in May, then just ticked over for a few months establishing walk and trot and then just taking him for a wander around the shows to get him used to everything. Then he had a few months off and has come back into the last few weeks and started hacking out. Last week was his first time over poles

The plan is to start sorting canter out ready for the novices next year. Just love this little pony, he loves to work and loves to please.

I love your boy! So handsome and mature looking for his age, can't quite believe he's only three!!
Whats his breeding, he looks remarkably like my mare ...

bet he has a pop on him too!

Mainly hacking my rising 5yr old about but also trailering her to a lesson once a week. Just started popping some cross poles.

My youngster isn't newly-backed but newly-broken for harness racing. She's been with the trainer since we bought her, and is coming home at the start of next week. She's due to meet Big Ears and the old girl and settle in for a winter of growing and eating and sleeping and being a horse before she goes back in Feb/March to get fit for her first summer racing and (hopefully) targetting the big races

As she hasn't been home since we bought her I'm looking forward to getting to know her she's called Daisy but from what the trainer has told me she can be a bit of a dragon! Will be interesting to see how she gets on with Cool and Cooler at home!

4 y/o OTTB mare, only had her a week (been OT 3 weeks in total). Took her hunting at the weekend to a small meet but now she'll have the winter off to chill.


Liam, 4y/o OTTB gelding is jumping 2'9" courses (higher singles, but slowly slowly...) schooling XC, and doing some lateral flat work. Looking to sell him by the spring, so we're getting him out on the hunt field to show the locals what my lovely boy can do!

Spider Pig (who is 3) was slowly backed in the summer then has been turned away since end of September!

Will be coming in after christmas, measured in the New Year then hopefully come out to a few baby pony parties!

Never had a hairy before and honest they are so different from my warmbloods!

Mine will be turned away mid December for a few months he's walking and trotting in the school, taking it steady because he's a real baby!

Mine was backed and ridden away over the summer and then had a couple of months off. Now bought back into work and mainly hacking and long reining with a bit in the school. Will probably work him till the near year and then he will have till the spring off

Mine is 3 and a half, she is working under saddle nicely in walk, trot and cantered a few times (She was first sat on begging of October). Been out hacking and she has been super. I'm so happy with how well she's going that I've slowed things right down and at the moment I'm only working her twice a week for about 10-15mins. In a couple of weeks time when we have perfected a few little things then she will have a nice break until the spring.

Unfortunately I don't really have any ridden photo's Sorry if the photo's are big, I don't know how to make them smaller.
