Englishman trying to ride western!

Tyrell J SmithĀ Sorry my mistake, didn’t read properly, even more frustrating!Ā 

So annoying when people twist the truth to get a sale, could have been a nasty one, sounds like the right decisionĀ

Chris HallĀ I sure will, I have 4 already (well bigger versions) and I love them, he’s found his feet today so to speak, not phased by machinery but petrified of water!!

This was his reaction to a small puddle, caught on camera as he bunny hopped over it 🤣🤣

Richard BoatwrightĀ haha yeah, more your size I reckon šŸ˜‰

Such a sweet nature, once he’s gelded and had a summer on the pasture he will be top notch.

Think this lad is destined to be on the harrow and cart and shown in hand a bit next year.

I’m sure he would love to be a mascot!Ā 

If it wasn’t for the Atlantic I’d give him to Lily as I know she loves her Vanners!Ā

Well he’s had a groom and trim and I had a session in the round pen, he’s not afraid of anything, roped him, flagged him, even haltered him and led him around, gonna have lots of fun with Sid I thinkĀ

New Pony Alert!

So we had a free stable (stall) that is already paid for and it was for the new foal that wasn’t meant to be…… meet SidneyĀ 

He is a bit of a rescue Job and is in poor shape, but I’ve always fancied having a mini cob (gypsy vanner) in the herd and he certainly is that.

8-9 months old and around 10h and a Grey Blagdon (not sure what your US equivalent is)

he had been tethered on scrub land and I don’t think has ever been handled, led, wormed, groomed, had his feet done or anything, matted up and in a bit of a state.

But this little lad, mark my words will turn out to be a swan rising from an ugly duckling, still a colt but a very sweet eye and inquisitive nature.

Can’t wait to get him sorted and cleaned up, he will be a stunner.Ā 

Destined to be a grass cutter and also put on the cart to give him a job.Ā 

His education starts tomorrow…..Ā

Sorry to read this Lynn, but at least you now have a diagnosis to work with and hopefully find a communication method that works for you both.

In the UK we call the blue eye a ā€œWall eyeā€ as folklore goes it was the side you put near the wall if selling a horse if it only has 1 blue eye!Ā 

I always steer clear of them as they give me the shivers!Ā 

Richard Boatwright I shall, he did send his best on, he was in fine form yesterday and we had a laugh at the clinic and sorted some head cases out (and the horses 🤣)

Richard BoatwrightĀ  I’m pleased Gus has gone back, he’s a super star and for him to be back home I take it is positive news! and I can see why you want Mabel, she would also look good in a Union Jack šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§ saddle pad šŸ˜‰

just need to work out which bank to hold up to be able to afford either of them!Ā
