Update today is im chuffed to bits with him, had to lead him though town to his grazing and he coped well considering and settled in really well with the other horses.
He moves nicely too when he trots out. When he trots slow his conformation shows abit in the he is abit knock kneed and slight pigeon toed on one foot, he wouldnt win a conformation class lol Otherwise thats all I can fault atm. Found abit more on his history too from the 15yr old girls mother who again was lovely and had tried to stop him getting past from pillar to post so no idea where things went wrong for him.No sign of any bucking in last 2 homes either but she did say she had his back sorted so that could have been the cause before then....
The biggest thing is he's nerves. How he is though im taking bets that magnesium will help. Hope so anyway lol he jumps out his skin and everything
Of course if he is naughty I'll take the easy option and said him to his aunty Ruth for a fortnight and let her do the hard work lol

Oh glad you got him home safe and sound. Some time chilling out and lots of groundwork will do him wonders me thinks!
Good Luck with him - hope Dan doesn't get too jealous!

Hopefully he will be meeting Dancer at some shows in a few years time if all turns out well Gail
The lovely chap who helped me deserves a mention, I would have really struggled without Mr Baker's help at the local riding school. I had to practically force some money down him for collecting Jack and giving us a few weeks livery till iv got organised. Very sad that they are loosing their grazing to the council for a cemetery

He is going to be stunning and a handful in a few months time, what a lucky boy to have found you, he truly couldnt be in better hands, and now has a future to look forward too.
