Some gratutitious pics of Plumps

[MadMumInKent]

Had a lovely session with Pumpkin this morning, and he absolutely made my day by coming over to me when he saw me approach the field. He's NEVER done that before! :D :D :D Small things amuse small minds and all that, but surely that means he loves me :D

I've come over all brave and my planned hack tomorrow will (hopefully unless I chicken out in the meantime) involve... wait for it..... CANTERING!!! :eek: My idea is that a good lively hack may wake Plumps up a bit and make his realise there's more to life than being a plod. Probably won't work, he's a plod through and through, but anyway, thought I'd try ;)


Anyway, he stood very patiently while I fiddled and faffed...

Oh I love the one of him shaking! So cute ;) :D
He really is gorgeous MMIK... good luck with the hack tomorrow - we'll need an update and maybe some more piccies? :D

Thanks Est, I'm sure I can take some more photies ;) Will let you know how I get on tomorrow... Just the fact that I'm even willing to consider it shows how much I trust Pumpkin. :)

He's GORGEOUS!! Of course it means he loves you otherwise he'd stay put. You'll have a blast on your hack, canter and all. It does wonders for your confidence. Makes you feel as if you can do anything. Good luck and don't you dare chicken out!!

He is pretty much the perfect horse isn't he! Lovely to have that kind of trust. I also notice there's some competition for Whatanejit in the tail plaiting department? ;)
Me and Tanyajayne have been inspired - we're going to have a "tart up our nags" day (our yards are close together) with a pub lunch in between. Maybe our tail plaiting skills will turn out to rival both of you :D (Probably depends which horse gets done before the lunch and which is done after :eek: ) :D
You're due good weather for your hack. My YO says it could reach 22-23 deg tomorrow! Anyway we will indeed want piccies so make sure you take a camera!

He's beautiful -- a real pyjama-case of a horse. And he looks in such good condition too. I love his woolly legs. He looks like he'd have a stately sort of canter -- best of luck for the hack!

[Mimi + Me]

Oh how cute is he - and I love his name it really suits him he does look like a Pumpkin Pie! :p Those stables look very grand and I like his smart nameplate :)

Whatta fine looking horse MMIK! LUCKY LUCKY!:)

I just wanna take him home!!!!! He looks just prefect! I bet he's got an excellent temperament! ;)

[Colorado Sunset]

Ah, hes looking so good :D Sounds like your beginning to get a real partnership going, its so nice when they come up to you in the field, means they associate you with good things :D

Good luck for tomorrow :)

He's so beautiful, what a great back end! The stable looks so nice. I've loved my mare from the moment I got her, a year ago, but it took almost the whole year before I really felt truly bonded to her - where she looks happy to see me and I feel like we really connect. It's wonderful, right?!

[peeweesgal]

MMIK he is absolutly gorgeous! Good luck for tomorrow! I hope you have fun!:D

He's gorgeous! Love the shaking photo too, and that bum *phwoar* :D xxx

[MadMumInKent]

Thanks all :) Will let you know how tomorrow goes. Its hard to believe its been little more than a year since I first started back riding, and the time since I had Pumpkin (now almost 8 months!) has flown by! I've never been so happy :D

[hannah:)]

He's beautiful! His face is really kind, if that doesn't sound too daft.:)

[Whatanejit]

Oh he is gorgeous MMIK - thanks for the photos.:D

Have fun tomorrow and bring that teenager with you that seems to be floating about the Mature Riders section of NR;)

Nice tail:D :D

A truly yummy horse - and the colour of the stables complements his colouring so well , were they built specially? You lucky person to have such a lovely animal coming to greet you :D

[HairyCob]

Oh he is just stunning! I want one!:D

Good luck with your hack tomorrow... I'm sending the 'overconfident teenager' to you telepethetically as we speak.... she's great to take out on hacks, really gets your confidence up!:D

[NoviceNic]

Wow Pumpkin looks stunning nowadays. I remember his first piccy. Underweight and unspoilt. ;) Look at him now his is stunning. Good Luck with tomorrow. Everything will be fine. Enjoy..:)
