[WeeB]

In july B and me did a course of trec trainning and here we are putting it into practice at home! (I was ment to be doing a comp the weekend on the 19th but B's not been well and is still not 100% so I'm not going anymore.)

phew!! Think thats the longest photo post I've done in a while!! Well done if you made it to the end without falling asleep from boredom! :lol:

Aww i like Sandy very cute

have you practiced any hanging branches yet? they can be really tricky, espcially artifical ones,

[WeeB]

Emm - not sure really. He was totally off colour of saturday. Standing at the back of his stable, nise on the ground and seemed to be balancing himself using the back wall. Didnt want to eat anything. He didnt change much over night but by 5am had done a poo. (YO checked him at 12am and 5am, and I did 7pm, 9pm and 7am) when I did the 7am check he'd eaten the little bit of dinner I'd given him the night before and was much perkier. He's still not quite right though but did 4 poos over night last night so I was very happy this morning. Hopefully it was just a touch of colic and thats it through his system now. Poor mite is looking rather skinny as I'm not giving him much in the way of feed till it all settles!

smile and wave - yes, we did low hanging branches at the trainning. They wouldnt go low enough for us but we cantered under at the height for a 14.2hh (he's 13.2hh)

[My Crazy Clan]

[Poppy and Harmony]

aww hes cute and looks like a pro at Le Trec! Good luck :D

[Spockky boy]

Lovely to see B in pictures again!

[Savvy]

Awww B! Not seen him for ages!

I've always fancied ago at the obstacles bit of trec but the orienteering sounds boring! I don't know anywhere that does it near me otherwise I think it give it a try.

Hope B's back to his usual self soon

[Pie_x]

[Loony]

He's gorgeous! I bet that was fun for him! :D

[gem]

[sazzy925]

aww bless her, I've always wanted to give trec a go - it looks really good fun!

[WeeB]

thanks for the replies everyone!

B is feeling much better now. Rode him yesterday for about 20 mins, just a wee pootle in walk but all was well so going to venture further today.

Rhea - I've had him for nearly 4 years now.

and i cant remember who commented about rugs, but chelsea and B are veterans so feel the cold more and hence are rugged (with lightweights) unless its really warm (like yesterday) :)

[Pwincess]

thought I reconised you and pony. welcome back and lovely piccies
