Jos update and summary of year

[Mellymoo]

Hey guys

I took Jos out on our first hack at new yard today ;D We didn't go far, as I had saddle slippage but we did have a wee pootle down the road. He was pretty good for being in a strange place and on his own, and after a power walk and some grazing we called it a day ;D I couldn't get any great riding shots, so you'll have to settle for some randoms taken after


Horse happiness - a hayhutch!!


Overall we've had a pretty amazing year with what we've achieved together - a very posh riding clinic with Lisap in April, qualified for the Royal London (but didn't go), done some jumping and TREC, been to pony camp, and been in Your Horse magazine ;D

Yes, we had to make a speedy move to another yard two weeks ago, but tbh I think it will be the making of us - I have lovely people to ride with, a lovely school, and I can hack to Castle Howard. Happy girl ;D

Hope you all have a great new year in which you achieve all your horsey ambitions - it's onward and upwards for us ;D

glad all is working out so well at your new yard and wish you and jos loads of fun and happy times for 2012 ;D

So pleased you're both settling in, he is sooooo pretty, excuse the ignorance but what is he.

He's a norwegian fjord - looking rather hairy and filthy at the mo though!

I am so pleased that you brought him to us here. He has settled in well with his new pony friends, they are all out tonight in case the neighbours have a firework display at 12. Enjoy your hack out tomorrow too xxx

Thanks hon - you have been so good to us, and I do feel spoilt having full livery ;-)

You & Jos have had a fab year - apart from the blip a couple of weeks ago!
Jos looks very settled in his new home, love the idea of being able to hack to Castle Howard.

Oh Jos is so cuddly and fluffy. Great year Mel. You must have a way to travel if you can hack to Castle Howard? Well, compared to your old yard. ;D

Hope you have a fab 2012. Best wishes to your family.

He`s like a big teddy bear !!!!! Gorgeous boy

Glad you got moved and settled ok ... here`s to a fantastic 2012 for you x

[Mellymoo]

Thanks all. It is a bit of a drive for me mandal, but I work out that way at least once a week so it's not too bad! Worth it for the lack of worrying about my boy's safety!

[sophielouise]

He really is stunning isn't he?! ;D

So glad he has settled well into his new home... full livery you lucky thing!
