Month 6 & 7

Its been a while since my last update so here goes:

I now live out with the others in my herd, in all I am grazing with 8 other horses and I have grasped the concept of “pecking” orders in the field, fortunately without being kicked – just a few nibbles on my back.

I spend my evenings and nights living out and come in during the day for a rest with my “mum” Polly.

Its very tiring staying out all night, but I do enjoy a good snooze during the day.

Because I can go out with the others I get to go in much bigger fields to gallop around in (and lakes to paddle in).

I still enjoy being stroked & brushed by my family and stand still for the children to get close to me.

Sully has been out on 2 sponsored rides recently and has behaved well on both, his legs have stood up well to the very hard ground. Because it was so hard at this event mum didn’t jump him.

Soon it will be me in the horsebox, mum has details of my first 1 year old in hand show!

On a sad note I lost one of my friends from the yard. George was sent to horsey heaven after treatment for his “kissing spine” failed to help with the pain he was constantly in.

He will be sadly missed by us all.

Enjoy playing with Hattie & Bracken, we remember you all dearly.
