Photos genuinely don’t do justice to how pretty she is, she looks like she stepped off the front page of the NZH&P show mag 😭
Ran around for barely 30 seconds (Gem was of course doing The Most™️) and then settled down pretty much immediately - only a tiny bit of squealing to start off with, but they were all happy when I left them tonight!
Pixie was the very first to greet Molly and followed her round the paddock like a puppy but once the big girls met she had enough sense to stay away 😅
Will give Molly tomorrow off to decompress and settle in and potentially ride her on Saturday!
I present to you all, The Moose - Moose is currently in Bastard Jail cause he's come back completely feral from his time off in the spelling paddocks after retiring from racing.
Why Moose you say? Well, he's an incredibly large unit standing just shy of 18hh, with a huge ass head and tends to lumber around like one, too.
He's got the over-sized carriage horse look going on rn cause the fucker let the yearlings in the paddock next to him chew off his beautifully long and thick tail😭🙄 but he's come back to the yard for re-education and for a hopeful career in the show horse/hunter ring 😌 and if he sucks at that, I might just persuade my coach to let me give him a spin in dressage cause he has some pretty nice gaits and hopefully we can turn him into an eventer if all else fails 😂
Plus, he's the most comfortable thoroughbred you can ride bareback 😍 we've taken him to the beach prior to his spell and it was a genuinely pleasant experience and felt super secure cause of how wide he is 😌 can't say the same for when I rode Nep bareback, that's for sure 😭😂
