Yes, I said boy! So after a disaster of a year having numerous horses on loan with a view to buy not work out I was over the moon when I saw this boy come up for sale. Although my heart said yes, my head definitely said no as I knew that was affiliated eventing out of the question. I organised to have him on loan for a couple of weeks to make sure he was still the horse I loaned last year (when his owner wouldn't sell him), after a couple rides I knew he was the one and sorted out his vetting.
He arrived with me last weekend after passing his vetting and it almost feels like he was never away, strangely as I didn't even have him kept at my current yard when I last had him. So far he's settled with no issues, been wormed and had his front shoes taken off and all four feet trimmed all in less than 24 hours and not been fazed at all.
Once he had been in for 24 hours he was allowed to go out into the field which I got some lovely photos of him having a prance around. The photos also show the lovely colour he turned after rolling in the muddiest part of the field. Never mind, he's happy - I'm happy.
