Fantastic, I just love reading this adventure. Such good news that all LizP's work has paid off too. Now it just needs continuing, wow it's good to hear a nice story for once.

So Sorry for the lengthy delay in updates. Zorelle has had 5 training sessions now altogether. I think that's one a week since she arrived. Yesterday we made an almighty breakthrough. I rasped about 0.5cm of that overgrown hoof wall off her front feet without stress or resistance. Clearly we're not ready for the trimmer...I wouldn't want her to feel her leg being squeezed between knees as it were....but what we achieved was very encouraging. As for Spirit, he is just perfect. He potters around the barn, chatting to everyone else who happens to be in, whilst we do weird things to his mum in the big space. We pick his feet up to give him a chance to show off to Z!

Major update. Zorelle had her fronts trimmed properly yesterday with a real live trimmer. I have the photos to prove it. I will post them if someone can tell me how. Spirit had his first tying up lesson at the same time. They were both brilliant.

To say that I'm delighted is an understatement and a half. To see her standing so quietly it just fantastic.
As as for that "little" boy! He really is almost the same size as her.
Bless them both. I still can't get used to seeing them somewhere else, though!

An overdue update.
Well me and my mum went down to see Zorelle and Spirit at Sarahs yard today, WOW he has grown!! (pics to follow)
Well there soo much to tell, When we got there Sarah was out so we went into the field with the plan of taking them in the barn to spend some time with them went straight up to Spirit put his new head coallar on as he has grown out of his little leather one!! then tried to lead him out but he wouldnt so i did the usual small amount of pressure and taking him of balance , but without knowing how sarah usually gets them in other than you catch spirit and zorelle follows i wasnt sure, so i unclipped and saw if they followed and they did all the way to the barn i then gave them a small ammount of stud/foal mix and took them into the barn there was ickle tiny kittens that spirit liked the look of cockrells that they were not bothered about either, then Sarah came, and good job as i wasnt quite sure where to go from here as although there mine i dont really know them too well yet or there little ways and i was really keen not to undo any work sarah had done.
Zorelle is coming on fab i gave her a good groom, picked up her feet, sarah even tried her with a spray bottle like mane and tail stuff she didnt even bother - its funny with her some silly little things that other horses would be bothered about dont seem to phase her!!
Spirit is just brilliant so friendly and interested in everything! he is leading brill and picking feet up gave him a good groom too which he enjoyed, when it came to turning them out again zorelle wondered off and ate and spirit wouldnt leave us alone he kept trying to come through the gate to the barn again!
so a really good day and really pleased to see them and where they are up to on there journey i will get the pics on soon you wont believe the size of him now!!
