finished work at 12 so was able to turn him out in the arena for a couple of hours (might only have been 1 1/2?) whilst i bottomed the bed and tidied it all up. Then when i went down, he was very keen to be in again! TBF, bit boring in there, but he could see the other horses, walked himself round a few times, was spoken to by some of the other owners as they passed. Then took his rugs off and groomed. He does, of course, need more weight on (the amount he's eating, i'm sure that won't take long!) but he does take a nice pic!
left him with LOADS of hay, and a much bigger water bucket since i had the chance to sort that out; also tidied a load of stuff up, and some things had been moved during the week to create space for a pony that needed to be in nights rather than out!
the one with his head in the feed dish is from the other night; the rest are today.
He is a nice handsome fellow, that's for sure. And he looks well settled in to his new home.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see he got out for a while. Always good to stretch his legs.
Looks to me as if you are going to have a very Merry Christmas and the best New Year in a while.
Enjoy! And give Monfi a hug from me!!
