Percy on the lorry

Percy has been having loading lessons this week. Today he went on and off the lorry twice and had a trip round the car park on his own in the box. He was ever so good, I am very pleased with him.

We started off just walking him up the ramp and into the lorry, feeding him a bit and then leading him off. Today is day three and I am very pleased with his progress.

There are some pics of the boy on the lorry!

He has been entered in to a show on 5th July. I even bnought him a blanket the other day, so tat's the next lesson. I tortted him up and down today and he was an angel. Fingers crossed he stays this way!

New herd member

Percy has had a growth spurt in the last couple of months. The spring grass is definatly showing.

There is a new person in the field, a new forest pony by the name of Pipin, who is a two year old. It was a very calm introduction yesterday, all went well.

Percy has the farrier booked for 11th June. I have also entered him in a small show on Sat 5th July. I need to practise loading with him.

To the right is a pic of him taken yesterday, when he was showing off to Pipin.
