First jumping lesson

3 month in and he injures his back hoof

Then after 4 month we move to a new yard and once he recovers and gets laminitis and an abscess

So we move again and he meets the horse I learnt to ride on as a kid

After another 2 month he recovers and bulks out so we start jumping and riding again

Then the snow came

So we had to wear big hats

Then it was Xmas (2012) so even more hats

Then we had to move again! But we did start competing more.

    He is a handsome fellow! There is nothing like it, is there? That bond that forms between we two-leggers and these magnificent beasts that allow us to be part of their lives. Those of us who know this are truly blessed

    He is as soft as butter but I wouldn't change him for the world, he follows me round like a dog, which is handy because I'm a bit lazy when it comes to putting on halters and taking them off.
