If I'm honest, I don't really want three again. Yes, I'm glad to see him and mightily relieved that he didn't disappear off, never to be seen again as I do have the emotional bond of him being the only foal I've ever bred, but I haven't really had time to enjoy just having two because of what happened with my mum. Also, in the last couple of years, I've decided my "youngster" days are over.... I want an easy life these days so I've got all those testing-boundaries and tantrums to come again now. And he's still a shortarse too. I think I will continue his education as much as I can on the ground and then maybe in the spring send him away to be backed and brought on and then sell him on once I have an idea of what he will be like as a riding pony.
Then again, maybe I'm just worn out from not really having had any time to kick back and relax after all that has happened recently....perhaps I'm not thinking straight.
