traffic proofing, (she feels awkward on him as she is tall, but reassuring Az with a pat on the neck, we believe in positive rewards for good behavior)  |

Now those pictures bring a tear to my eye when I think of all Azlan has been through. What a clever grown-up boy! Congratulations!

thank you, there was a time when I doubted that saving him had been in his best interests, with all the painful and restrictive treatment he had to endure as a foal. He is looking for a loan home, but not with view to buy as I want to protect his future. He also has explosive speed.... I would love him to be a racing pony, or a sports pony really.

Hes a gorgeous lad and I wish I had the room for him as hes just my cup of tea and I don't like my horses big x best of luck with the loan home, i'm sure someone will jump at the chance and totally agree with you re loan, i'm the same with my guys loans would be all I would consider. xx well done, goes to show it has all been worth it, but he is too pretty to be a boy x

 It's lovely to see that after all you and Azlan have been through, he is obviously going to be a cracking ridden horse. I'm sure you will find a super loan home for him Jackie.

he has just past a turning cement mixer there Jen! he did not shy, but I don't mind him looking at anything. the only thing he would not go past the first time is the flapping carrier bag tied to a post, but, once he had seen it the first time he is OK with it, and you can roll a football underneath him.. however, depite wading through streams as a youngster he does not like puddles, but prefers to go round. We are working on that
