Boy he can move! I can't believe how strong his is either, Only 2 photos as my camera died, which I am gutted about because I wanted to show you his trot it a video!:sad-no:
I did some in-hand work with him today, I originally was going to take him for a walk around the forest(hes not traffic proofed yet) but bf chickened out:mad: Didn't fancy doing it on my own...but i will soon enough.
I walked him around the outside of our field, all 10 acres of it! he was really good, then one neighed, jester galloped over and that was it, he wanted to gallop back with them.....so the dually halter got tested out very well:lol: then they all came galloping over bucking bronco:scared:( they pick the best time to do it) my camera had died my this time:mad: but all was okay....untill I tripped over:lol: he galloped from a stand still, I didn't have time to hold the rein tighter while i was on the floor so I chucked it up high over his neck, thankfully he didn't tread on it, got up and took him back to that part he galloped from, made him walk the whole way...good as gold.

Mmmm I would say so, hes short and compact where magic is long and tall, I think hes stronger but magic never tests me like Merlin:lol:

Lovely photos! Has he been backed yet?
I'm still in the process of backing him, I've sat on him handful of times and been walked around on him, I started bitting him a few weeks back, hes had tack on but need to get a saddle that actually fits! I think hes going to be hard to fit one to be honest, were he has such a short back, I'm taking it slowly with him, hes been good so far.

I know your all thinking OMG hes fat!....your right in a way, he is overweight but hes stocky which makes him look bigger being entire doesn't help either, 2nd photo isn't very flattering of him, 1st you can see he looks slimmer, hes actually lost a little bit of weight but winter is coming.

He's a lovely looking lad. He's so well behaved for a Stallion. Didn't realise your field was by a Harbour. It looks very beautiful there :)

Merlin takes after his dad in body and mum in head, Magic takes after his mum in body and dad in the head. :)
