Posted - 15 Sep 2013 : 10:32:38 AM We went to borstal again for a week. Bridget is running a ride next week and we thought a good risk assessment of the route would be 'can I take my 4yo round it?'. So we went for a week to try out the route and also to get in a bit more Wolfie-training.
So this week he's done his first 20km ride:
We've had our first 'proper' lesson like a normal grown up horse (and dear heavens does my riding need work):
He's done his first full lines of trotting poles:
And we even did a bit of sideways

ps If anyone is doing the Jolly Moors ride next weekend, you're in for a treat

I do think you ought to train him to ride in a saddle cloth and rope halter, put some of those feather and silver decorations in his mane and get him in the movies as a red indian pony - what a stunner!

Posted - 19 Sep 2013 : 07:01:49 AM The saddle is a Heather Moffett SBS (her original and now very rare treeless). I don't know if it will be his long term saddle but it will do while he's growing, and it also gives us something a bit more conventional looking if we did want to dip our toe into the conventional horse world at any point.
Martha, he's quite a confident little chap with a right work ethic on him, but I think he'd be a very easy pony to overcook so I have to be so careful. Fingers crossed I can get it right.
We did get our first bit of Wolfcam:
