Sad/Happy Update on my Nags

[MinxGTi]

Haven't done a picture thread in ages!

Ok I'll start with the bad news :(

Quest is now going to be retired at the age of 12, as he has navicaluar! So he's off to live out with my 2 retired pony's! (Which I'm sure he will love) :)

Maybe one day he might come back into work!

So few pictures of him to remember the good times!

I took him to Hickstead for his first Dressage comp, he warmed up beautifully. But we both went to pot in the test! He was spooking at everything (Blue castles, grandstands and flag poles) I was a bag of nerves!
But I was sooo proud of him for his first time out! :)

(I'm riding too short and on the wrong diagonal! told you I was a mess :ashamed:)

What stunning horses! I love your yard as well! :D xx

Wow you have some beautiful horses, love your new one! Thats a shame about Quest, but he looks like he's had a fantastic ridden life, I'm sure he'll enjoy retirement. Agord looks fantastic, he's definately taken well to schooling!

I am contemplating raiding your place - you have just my kind of horse! Shame about Quest but great to hear he will be having a lovely retirement, he looks like he deserves it. Sox is nice, and well done with Agord!
