I thought I'd better make sure that Wolfie's school uniform fitted OK before he goes off to school this week:



Gulp. He looks soooo grown up. Whatever happened to ickle baby Wolf:



He wasn't bovvered about wearing tack in the slightest and was far more interested in whether it was edible:

You are indeed right, saddlebred - daddy is a NSH.

Very chuffed today, we went for our first little mini-hack:


All being well he'll come home next week.
saddlebred Posted - 09 Oct 2012 : 6:42:04 PM
He looks stunning Esther.... and very unflappable Saddlebred temperament (if I remember his breeding correctly?!). I got on Diva for the first time last week and she didnt bat an eye lid either. She felt soooo gorgeous as well. Exactly like my old SaddlebredxArab girl. Really big bouncy walk.

Cant wait to see more pics of Wolfie being a big boy. Where does the time go?
Gerri Posted - 09 Oct 2012 : 2:45:28 PM
beautiful horse and lovely pics
Nut Posted - 09 Oct 2012 : 2:14:31 PM
fantastic and he is stunning!
Delyth Posted - 09 Oct 2012 : 2:09:15 PM
Esther......he's going to look very posh :)
Callisto Posted - 08 Oct 2012 : 12:56:56 AM
Oh Esther that's fantastic and what a lovely roundy little toughie he is
Esther Posted - 07 Oct 2012 : 10:01:59 PM
And the milestones keep coming:



I never guessed in a million years that I would be riding my pony this weekend but I did, three times He was soooo good too.
Pasch Posted - 30 Sep 2012 : 7:46:54 PM
Stunning!Such a naturally good outline in the lunging picture.He will make you proud(does already I think!)
pinkvboots Posted - 30 Sep 2012 : 3:37:05 PM
His looking lovely, i always use loose side reins
jillandlomond Posted - 30 Sep 2012 : 12:11:40 PM
Wolfie's clearly lapping up all the attention He's absolutely adorable! I don't see any problems with using side reins as slack as that either.
Callisto Posted - 30 Sep 2012 : 12:48:06 AM
Esther he is gorgeous and looking sooo grown up! No wonder you are proud of him.
Esther Posted - 29 Sep 2012 : 8:18:46 PM
TBH Quarabian even if I was doing him myself I would be using side reins at this point. They're very very loose and he's having very short regular lessons, not pressured in any way and he's clearly lapping it up. Kezza gave him a massage today to check that nothing was getting sore now he's been doing a bit of work for four weeks and all was OK.
Quarabian Posted - 29 Sep 2012 : 7:08:55 PM
He looks all grown up. But I must admit to finding the pics of him in side reins a bit disturbing. Side reins already!!!
Esther Posted - 29 Sep 2012 : 7:05:58 PM
Today Wolfie has been mostly learning to long rein:


He's so clever
basbob Posted - 14 Sep 2012 : 8:08:24 PM
he is absolutely beautiful!
Esther Posted - 14 Sep 2012 : 6:53:44 PM
Have been up to see him today. I'll admit to having 'something in my eye' when I saw how well he was doing.


This was the first time he'd been lunged in a saddle. Lots of gold stars for the report card.

Pheebs - he takes my breath away too. I just hope I can do him justice.
Pheebs Posted - 08 Sep 2012 : 8:45:16 PM
He is SO beautiful! Every time I see photos of your handsome boy he takes my breath away. Good luck with it all, looks likes hes perfectly happy to keep striding forward!!
debs Posted - 08 Sep 2012 : 8:43:44 PM
He is a gorgeous boy! Look forward to pics!
alison Posted - 08 Sep 2012 : 12:18:48 PM
Esther he is such a lovely looking horse, hope his schooling goes well and you don't miss him to much.
Good luck
Alison
Esther Posted - 08 Sep 2012 : 08:02:12 AM
Thanks for all the lovely comments.

I left Wolf at boarding school yesterday. He had a bit of a trot round but was pretty calm. He can see the sea from his field, and he kept looking into the distance at the boats. I do like a horse that is interested in the horizon - it bodes well

I'll be going up every week to be involved, he'll come home for the winter once the basics are there, and then we'll look to go back next year when he's 4. Very exciting

However, this does not constitute a plan.......
TanyanChewy Posted - 03 Sep 2012 : 5:44:18 PM
Tee Hee.

Good luck Wolf!
joanna_piana Posted - 03 Sep 2012 : 11:03:14 AM
Oh bless him he is a handsome boy, love the girth eating pic
jillandlomond Posted - 02 Sep 2012 : 10:14:37 PM
He's adorable Esther! Looks so laid back, what a sweetie Hope the schooling goes well, and look forward to hearing all about his report card
Nut Posted - 02 Sep 2012 : 8:46:23 PM
What stunning markings!
Cinnypony Posted - 02 Sep 2012 : 8:36:25 PM
He looks heaps of fun, especially eating the girth.

Good luck to Wolfie at school
