Frankie - our lovely little section A mare - is a bright and quick learner. She's almost ready to go to a new 5* home and to make a small child very happy!

Frankie has started her working career and is currently doing basic groundwork and lungeing (over poles and everything)! She is learning super fast and is ready to progress to long reining and being lent on etc to start her riding career. She is so clever and although always a bit unsure at first with anything new, she however is quickly unfazed and is ready and looking for the next task to do.

Had a fun time hunting with Quest on Saturday! - He was really good at the meet, he was itching to go but not too excited. He just stood quietly when the hounds were let out the lorry and watched them running around him and the other horses. We then set off up the Gregynog Track at a steady trot and canter. He would patiently stand with the other horses whilst waiting and listening out for the hounds. Unfortunately our day was cut shorter than planned due to a friends horse colicing with the excitment. So we didint have a full day out and see quests full potential! - He jumped all the ditches fab and marched up some really rough woods and also through the boggy ground no problem!!

Well thursday is bin day so I set out with Quest to meet the bin lorry to see how he was... as we have already met cars, vans, tractors and quads out and about, but the bin lorry with its' flashing lights, clinking, clanging and general noisyness as well as a horrid smell would be a good test!! So as it happens the bin lorry was late but Quest patiently hung around the lanes and eventually we met it head on, we then passed it and waited in the track entrance while it reversed towards us to turn around. Quest stood patiently and wasnt bothered at all (suprise suprise) - we yet are still to find much wrong with him!!! :)

Took Quest out for a hack through the woods today and he was super.... he let me open up the very small gate and we squeezed through (without catching my legs)! He wasnt bothered and shut it again behind us. I started off at a trot in case he was excited to be riding somewhere with grass under his feet! - But he trotted nicely and steady so I asked him to canter and again he just popped into canter and we ended up cantering all the way as he got himself into a nice ryhthm and lengthened his stride as if he were going round a cross country course!! - He would be ace going xc!
