Hi guys,
Having had 2 'first' horses lately and having taken much comfort from reading others similar stories, I thought a thread dedicated to 'first horse/new horse issues' might be good
I'll go frist -
Danny - my first 'first'. Totally differnt when we got him home. Instead of settling over 2 weeks he got worse and more bolshy. Bullied me and I ended up feeling unsafe. So Danny and I parted company.
Tally - my second 'first' What I would have expected in terms of being unsettled in a new place. HArd to catch first few days and had to put her in a small paddock by herself and work with her with treats etc, she was ok after a few days. Jumped out of field to say hello to girls next door! let herself out of her stable overnight - door now tied shut! Tanked off with me - now going steady with the feed and got a hanging snaffle! Nappy in the school with other horses there and very fizzy if oher horses are there- work in progress
