There is a new kid on the block.
Meet Bug (the Old Orange one says "Hi buddy!")
16hh of TB x Morgan, just turned 8yrs
Green but willing, hacks alone (YAY!)
Good quality elevated paces and a more-than-reasonable jump :-)
He's come to stay, on permanent loan (thank you Kate for letting such a lovely lad come and live with me) and the name of the game will be FUN!
We are going to try some dressage and some local showing (he's just the right stamp for riding horse classes) and also jumpies.
He hacks off the yard alone and there is no napping, no rearing or spinning, he's fully acquainted with all traffic and is just LOVELY! We've had w,t&c both in front and behind and he's the perfect gent.
I like the name! Bug, (would soon become Bugalugs in this house :-). Enjoy your solitary hacking!

he's by Taproot Yankee Doodle, and was nicknamed Doodle by the owner previous to his current, it was then lengthened to Doodle-Bug and shortened to Bug! He tends to get called Bugster or Bugsy, but I quite like Bugalugs!
ReplyDeleteIts refreshing to have a horse I can hack alone (apart from The Old Orange One of course!) - and whos behaviour is exemplary solo and in company.
Only just found your email...
ReplyDeleteMore entries now, please!!! I'll have to give you something to blogg about, and take your offer, of the Orange One, up.
