After eight years of loaning other people's horses it was about time I bought my own again so I am delighted to let you all know that the lovely Mushammer arrived in Sussex this weekend. It's taken me roughly nine months to find my next endurance partner and I'm VERY excited about our future together.
His breeding: http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/mushammer. Piccies are on the for sale section here.
Mush arrived on Saturday afternoon and will be spending some time chilling in the field with his two new play mates (one anglo and one draught) and doing some groundwork with me before we get started hacking, schooling and training.
I would like to take this opportunity say a formal HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who's helped me through this process. In particular Arachnid who's tirelessly accompanied me on various horse shopping adventures and my hubby who doesn't read this but still deserves a mention as he's the best, as well as a number of people who have emailed me with suggestions and ideas of suitable horses and those who continue to support and help me whenever I have questions (special mention of Pauline as well). 
Have to pinch myself now when I go to the yard and see MY horse coming up to me in the field - hurrah - at last!!!!  |

Thank you all!!
Yes, it's a great location and I love the yard because of it. We have lots of other problems (politics is horrid, everything happens very slowly, trying to get fencing done or hay delivered is difficult even if the horses are starving) but I'm staying there because of the location, the hacking is fabulous and perfect for endurance training so I'm just putting up with the other stuff and trying my best to stay out of people's way. |

Thank you so much everyone 
I still can't believe it's real, keep smiling to myself at odd times throughout the day, doing little skips here and there! Stood cuddling him at the gate in the field last night 
He's lovely and I just can't wait to get onboard, but want to get to know him from the ground first - and we need the farrier anyway before I can start to ride so plenty of time for groundwork. He seems quite straight forward and picks up on things in normal quick arab manner. Luckily he's in the field close by the yard which means he's getting used to all sorts of things, including people riding in the school right next to his field - something he's obviously not seen a lot of as he was most ponderous about it last night in the fog!
Piccies, yes will try and get some done in the light today, hopefully the thick fog has disappeared. It will be piccies with rugs on though I'm afraid, he's a monkey about rolling and as he's out 24/7 he's now winter rugged. That reminds me, better go buy another rug  |
