First couple of weeks at his new home

So, Blue has been here for 2 weeks and I am happy to say that he is settling into his new life very well!

Thought I would just go through all the events Blue and I have had since he arrived.

First time in the arena – I started by walking Blue around the huge 3 schooling area arena and let him have a good look at everything and get his jumps and piss arounds out. He spent the time neighing out to neighbouring horses until I got him cantering around and he was engaged and focused. We tried a jump and he was a bit annoying so I had to put it down but I did get him over it J

First hack – There is this wee ½ hr hack called the block that another girl at the yard went around. Blue was good, wee bit puzzled by junctions and ditches but behaved really well. He is a bit like a deer in the headlights with junctions didn’t know where to go.

His new neighbours – Blue started with a highland one side and a big bay gelding on the other side and then another highland was added, bay was switched with a cob and then another cob was placed nearby. Blue really did take it all in his stride. He was a bit in love with the bay but he seems to be coping with the separation, though I do wonder if Blue is gay though, he was very fond of the bay.

Now, this was a biggie, FIRST ELECTROCUTION – So, I had just been out on a hack and was putting Blue back in his field and the gate decided to jump the electricity to his leadrope clip and it went through both of us. SURE AS HELL CLEARED MY SYNUSES! Blue immediately leapt back and wouldn’t let me near his head so I had to unclip his headcollar and let him run off. It was a freaking shock and a half! The yard is huge and has tons of acreage so all the fences are attached to the mains, and are really strong, like.. REALLY!

Anyhoo that is me, I’m sorry it took me this long to get round to a new post, it’s been a busy past  week, with uni and horses! Thanks for reading x Adios xx

Pssttt... Just a side note

Sometimes you can have a crap day or are in a crap situation but there will always be a time in the light and I say grab that time by the reins and get on that bucking bronco called life! x
