New Horses
We seem to have the same horses for ages then several new ones come at once. Last week a 13.2 Liver Chestnut Mare called Abi came on trial for two weeks. She has not been ridden very often only once a week in walk and trot by a six year old child. I don’t think she will be staying as she is too nappy and refuses to canter without bucking. Yesterday a 15.2 Palamino TB x ID called Jimbob arrived He is only a four year old, 5 in May. He is very sweet but very green I think I may buy him and ride him myself for a few months until he is better schooled and jumping. I rode him out on a hack today with Amelia on Destiny, as we approached the lake a swan took flight. Destiny was horrified and promptly whizzed round and shot back up the lane a few yards. Jimbob stood routed to the ground, grew a hand and just stared at it till it landed. He was quite wary an wobbly in the school but probably not been in an indoor school before. Next week I have a 15hh horse coming which will mean being 2 stables short but Coffee is nearing retirement now, Polo is not settling very well to riding school and we do need to sell Destiny so maybe a few changes ahead.
