My Baby and other

As a real novice rider (38 years ago) Billybob is going to a friend of Maries as a hunter, I love him but did say he is far too much hor se for me....although he feels he is a dog not a horse
So for me I have had Odie, a arabianXWelsh 14.2 he's 18yrs a lovely plodder and a lovely old gent, we made a instant connection, he will go on the field with JC and Magic at the weekend.

Here's my boy.....and Marie's horse May


A muddy Odie




May ... muddy as she rolled after he coat was taken off


Odie

May

Lovely boy you got there Steph, but I don't envy you with all this mud, I remember it well, sometimes the mere thought of having to get to grips with it all before going out for a ride used to put me right off lol! Enjoy your riding, I hope he's a good boy for you

Aww Steph, I am so thrilled you have found a horse to suit you Odie looks gorgeous (and I love his name ). He sounds perfect for you. Why do we have to live so far apart?! I could do with a mate to go hacking with!

Best of luck with him

He had a groom tonight, thankfully alot came off , just washed his other coat and fleece....how much mud Im riding again tomorrow so hopefully he will still enjoy his plod, he's very good as I have to mount from the right....my left leg just will not allow it, and he is a real trooper
Thanks hun, yep i think if I started out now I may see you end of March Im looking forward to the longer days

I love his name too I keep getting the urge to shout Odin....and see the vikins coming in

Good luck with Odie, I hope you have some really fun times together

Absolutely nothing beats riding out to put the whole world to rights

Gah - to all that mud! Doesn't it drive you mad! I have bought mine full neck rugs now - at least there is only a head and legs to clean! Particularly good when pressed for time - LOL!

That mud drives me mad, luckily when he goes on the other field at the weekend we'll see a much cleaner pony
When we took JC and Magic they were muddy, but paddling in the stream....they look great now...clean Just washed his coats tonight so he'll look smart

Congrats he is lovely and has a real gentle look to him.

I would love a big plodder now, maybe one day

He's smashing Steph

Well I kept daying the same I went from owing none to 2 Odie is a gentle guy and he and I will have some lovely times I know
Thanks hun, he is a lovely mannered guy I love him

Conratulations Steph and welcome Odie. He looks smashing.
