What do you all think of the new RS gang???

[Blue-bear]

Firstly apologies for really poor piccys, was only a quick job and will get some better full body shots when i get a mo.

So for those that dont know...we are in the final stages of setting up as a riding school and these are the guys we have for the job so far....

Roko - 16.1hh 6yr Slovakian WB tri coloured.

Steppy - 13.3hh 11yr old piebald cob

Levi - 13.2hh Blue and white X breed. Only 3 and a half but he will be ready for duties when hes old enough

Super ted - 12.1hh 21yr old kinda skewbald misfit!

Sprite - 16.2hh CB x TB 8yr old bay - Working livery

Archie - 15hh 6yr old bay TB, ex polo (too slow!)

Indy - 13.3hh 10yr old WPB piebald mare (XXX wide!!)

We also have two littlies arriving tomorrow in the shape of an 11hh and another 12.1, so will try and get some piccys of them too...

And then just because they are too cute to miss out...we picked up a couple of bargain NF colts at the weekend

Jingles

Let me know what you think

They are lovely - especially the wee ones!

 

[Horseyscot]

They're lovely. Goodluck in your new venture

 

[fjordhorsefan]

Lovely! Good luck with your new RS!!

 

[Spudlet]

Sweet

Has the last little one bashed his eye or is it just a funny picture angle?

Ooh how exciting!
I really like Roko and Indy.
I used to work at a riding school and I really miss it. (Geeky I know...)
Would love to be in a position to set up a riding school one day.
Where abouts in the country are you?
Good luck, and keep us updated about how it goes!

I think i must have caught Jingles just as he was blinking! not an attractive pose i agree!
Thanks for all the luck vibes, hopefully all will take off well. For anyone interested we are just outside Aylesbury, Bucks.

Shame about Archie's headgear - my mare cribs/windsucks but is far happier when she's just left to her own devices. Tried the collar route but it just resulted in recurrent colic, we just ignore her now and she's much happier.

 

[Bedlam]

What is that on Archie? I'm guessing it's to stop him rug tearing, but I've never seen anything quite like that on a turned out horse?

 

[somethingorother]

Isn't it just an anti crib collar?

They're all lovely, i especially like super ted and steppy

Sounds really exciting, hope it all goes well and you get lots of customers coming in soon! x

All lovely neds hun. But I'd take that anti-crib thing off poor Archie. The current thinking is that a horse develops a stereotypical behaviour in relation to poor management. Trickle feeders that can't trickle feed often then get bellyaches and ulcers and crib and windsuck in a desperate attempt to stop the acid indigestion. It's thought that the act also releases endorphins that enable the horse to cope a little better. It's the endorphins that can be addictive so even when the horse's circumstances change (like joining your RS!) they continue to windsuck. Devices that try to deprive the horse of a learned "comfort" are questionable at best. Good luck with your RS and if the NF's don't work out, send at least 1 of them to me x
