The autumn leaves...

[glenatron]

Tomorrow Othello (my new horse) arrives. It's pretty exciting although it's annoying that they could only get him over to our yard on a Sunday when I have to spend most of the afternoon at rehearsal. I'll probably be using my LJ to document a lot of the work we are doing together which may help you avoid my mistakes if you're ever working with horses and will surely help me avoid my mistakes if working with him doesn't put me off them altogether.

shiva_matimbres was saying how autumn always works best if you are out of town. I tried to take some pictures to illustrate how right she is, but ended up mostly just taking pictures of pony.

wow... joe's looking amazing! Really musculer... is it the same horse you had all that time ago?!

No, the pony you met was Roo, he was relatively small; Joe is the same height as Roo (pretty much on the border of horse and pony) but weighs twice as much. He weighs in at just a little over half a tonne, but moves with amazing lightness for it.
