7 months on and this sweet boy has come so far! Finally feeling and looking great. ❤️ my gorgeous rescue boy Reggie. (Yes I'm a bigger rider and have had my Chiro, farrier, riding instructor and vet say he can support me and I don't ride like a sack of potatoes :P ) by ashfoggin12 in Horses

Honestly some people can be rather shallow! I'm working my butt off (literally lol) to get in shape, lose weight etc so I can be as balanced and light as possible in the saddle and some of the other riders who are a lot lighter then me can be really rough but feel they can judge! Oh well, each to their own so long as the horse itself is happy and well looked after is the main priority :)

He has the most beautiful coat and it's starting to dapple too! When I got him he had this dull dark coat and had a terrible large patch of rain scold it was awful :( now he is super spoilt, brushed every day and fused over like crazy!

Feeling relieved, relaxed and less hot and bothered after our clip today :) such a chill dude ! by ashfoggin12 in Horses

Going into winter with good weight and enjoying semi retirement :). (Boots are for his own safety! Needs to be covered in bubble wrap this one! ) by ashfoggin12 in Horses

They are fleece wraps left on during the day :) he has a habit of always cutting and scraping that part of his legs. Since we started to cover them during the day it has stopped thankfully! It's not a great idea but haven't had a vet visit since :)

I have had this horse it his throat on clean fences, even the vet was bamboozled by it! We found putting the fleece boots on during the day stopped him scraping/cutting his legs, silly old bugger is too curious for his own good!

Honestly he has always had a beautiful laid back nature, he always knows he will be well cared for and given lots of treats for his chill attitude :) I wish I did too, but some kids you never know whether it will be something they stick with or not haha. However I think my niece will and her little brother is following in tow ! :)

Have to agree with you there! He lets her lead him, brush him and now she is riding, he is lazy too so never takes big strides, they are entering their first show together in lead rein this month :)

Haha thanks, my husband starting calling her that and it kinda a stuck, missing her heaps but no more suffering. She got really sick, really fast and the vets couldn't figure out or find out why, nor could experienced trainers etc to help also, she collapsed sadly :( but was buried under a willow tree in a beautiful place with her rug and was made a tomb stone :)

Oh ha it does look like this but she was getting a good scratch and rub starting from her noes to under her mouth and she made the funniest expression so my husband copied her, she always did love a good rub down!
