I finally went and saw my lil babies yesterday.
Atlas was super amazing.
He hasnt been handled in at least two months, and I just walked up to him in the paddock and took off his cover, gave him cuddles and brushed him all over, and we was a perfect gentleman!
I was totally stoked! He is gunna be an amazing horse.
Hobo is MEGA fat. Like, huge! Haha
She has had about 6 weeks turned out though, so I guess its expected.
Very hairy too. She is a big fluff ball!
I took some hay out to Lily, but I didnt get to see her up close as she was waaay down the hill. Typical.
Had a great ride on Neeko yesterday.
I lunged him in a pessoa first, then jumped on him.
Hes really getting the hang of working on the bit, which is awesome.
We've pretty much got it sorted at the walk, and hes improving heaps at the trot.
After we schooled, I took him and Georgie out for a hack with Marie and Woody.
It was the first time he's ever spooked with me on him yesterday.
We were going along the mudflats, and a cylclist was on the track, which he could obviously hear, but not see. It was nothing major, just threw his head up and lept forward a couple of strides, then just stopped. haha
Georgie was a little shit though. Kept taking of in a flat out gallop, bucking and carrying on.
Nearly dragged me out of the saddle a number of times. He is suprisingly strong!
I should have put him in his bridle, but I thought he'd be alright in his halter. Wrong.
Yesterday Georgie went out on lease for a couple of weeks.
I had no choice in the matter.
He went to a little girl,they just want him to lead around and brush apparently.
I have no idea how thats gunna work out, as I can bearly lead him at times, and he hates to be brushed, he just wont stand still. Hes not at all dirty, just super cheeky. He has learnt to walk all over people because kids have babied him.
I tried to say that he wont be suitable, he'll only ruin her enthusiasm, but they wouldnt listen.
The whole thing was already sorted before I even knew it was happening.
Im totally guttered,and upset.
Even though its only a couple of weeks, I still miss him heaps already.
TodayI went and moved the rest of my things out of mums, so Im officially out of hell.
Im so keen to put all of the shit she has caused behind me, and start a new life for myself, without her in it.
I miss Phe, the cat. It was nice to be able to cuddle her. Shes so nice.
Sigh.
Tomorrow Im going to take Hobo for a ride, and have a play with Atlas and Lily.
Im excited. I love riding Hobo.
