Kumera is here and so is a STORM :-(

Doesn't it suck when you get a new horsey to play with and the weather turns to custard?!?!

Kumera arrived yesturday, well more like we picked Kumera up yesturday, and well he is a BIG boy, but it could be because i am used to my little 15.hh and 15.2hh "ponies" He hadnt been out of his paddock for six weeks and was rather ermmm excited? lol! and after some foo fooing around getting his cover off to lead him and all that we finally presnted him with the float (apparently neve been in one before!) And he LITERALLY jumped!!! On nearly whacked his head to the illy bugger! But he stood on there like a champ, as we said our good-byes to his owner and we then set off on our journey back west to Kumera's new home! :o)

Oh ALSSOOO i changed his name, formally known as Kumera, he is now Ollie. :-)

He came off the float very tidily for a horse who hadnt floated before, slowly, and straight - bonus! I loathe it when they run off at 100 miles an hour!

This Morning (Friday) i rushed out there at 7:30 to bring Ollie in for a feed and a bit of a brush, i ended up pullling his mane, which he didnt mind, and hosing his legs down...He enjoyed being fussed over, but he defeintly needs ground manners!

Anyway i am very much impressed with my purcahse, and he is a nice boy, and he just floats , his movment is lovely.

Biggg ups to Ellie for lending us a cover, as i had nothing big enough! Thanks Ellie! *grin*
