I Told You I Was Special!

We love all of our foals but every now and then one tells you that he's extra special and you think "that's fine but it's no excuse for behaving like a real pain!" and then a few year's on he proves that he really is just that - 'SPECIAL'

Do you remember Uplah? - Here he is at around 6 weeks being that pain.




By 6 months he was so well behaved we thought someone had come along in the night and swapped him and he has carried on like this all the way. By just over 2 years he was getting to be such a big chap that we thought a little education would be a good idea. He took everything in his stride and remained completely calm whatever happened.

After bitting and accepting his tack as though he had been born with it we we went on to working in the school and the attitude was always 'OK done that, what's next?'

So earlier this year we backed him and his look said 'what's the surprise? there's nothing to this' Since then he has schooled on and taken each new challenge in his stride.

Next step new shoes. Only reaction here as you can see was 'Hm, that looks like a tastey shoulder' But it was only a very gentle investigation and Gary lived to shoe another day. Well a chap has to have something to do to take his mind off things doesn't he

'Now having done all this work are we going out or not?'

'Ok Trevor - lead the way'

'Just look at me now. I told you I was special didn't I? Why don't you come visit me'
