Well yesterday i had another ride on Minke, i decided not lunge her before i rode her as i could see rain coming and wanted to get a quick ride in before it hit. She was fine with me just hoping straight on, but i definitely noticed she was not as relaxed as she had been when i was lunging her first although she was a bit rushy and inconsistent at first she soon settled and i managed to get a bit of nice work, then finished doing some long and low getting hr to stretch and lengthen her stride slightly - she got the hang of the whole long and low concept really well which was pleasing.
Then at around 6:30 i got a phone call from Woodville Transport (who get a big thumbs up from me for their excellent service!) to say that my new pony would be at my house in half an hour - it was a very nice surprise, as i wasn't expecting her until today (30.04.08) She arrived in the dark poor wee thing, and was a bit nervy which was to be expected so i put her in a smaller paddock with a heap of Hay and left her to settle in a bit. The picture is of her on arrival, she is a bit light in condition, and is a hairy mammoth LOL but she is a very pretty wee thing, and i definetly think she may have a future in showing. She is only small i would say 13.2-14hh so I'm going to look a bit silly on her - so don't laugh LOL! I'm going to get my Neighbour to take some pics of us having a play around this morning then i will post them on here this afternoon!
