Hello,
I have given update in main part to say Hello. BUT thought as this will be my main interested forum I thougjht I would do it again.
I am an older rider before we go further.
But short update had loan horse (full history is in web site up to that loan horse Jack), owner sold him. I bought my own youngster, 3 1/2 Full ID Gelding unbacked, little handling. That was 14 months ago.
He has been backed, seen traffic of all types takes it with pinch of salt. Jumped for Fun, in school with starter instruction for baby Hippo Horse, jumped for fun and sheer pleasure on yards X/C course, but only small ones, including steps, up & down, deep water, ditch. Schooling of course.
Had a go at local Derby show and done them all, although only small, including bank and water tray. A boy to be proud of.
Small S/J class for fun, 2 dressage tests with 8 for entry and 8 for Freewalk, BUT Forget the canter, we just enlarged the arena. So what the heck he enjoyed himself. he behaved what more can you ask, Only 2 months after backing went to show for the experience, did the Novice Ridden came away 2nd Place to a Superb Show animal.Now what !!he is on holiday, in at night out each day, since mid November till March 03 for a total mental refurb.
I am told he will be New Horse.
Just to say hello again, and Hello to most who did not meet me last time.
