This is Danny Boy, he is my best friend. I thought I would post some pictures of him and some of us together. He has helped me through so much and nothing smells more inviting than when I cuddle him and I get that horsey smell. I have had him for 6 years now, since he was 3. I was pretty much a complete beginner even after riding for 2-3 years in group lessons.
Thank you.
He is a Connemara cross and we don't know the other breed. We're assuming it's a heavy breed.
He used to not be so nice, I was terrified of him and on the verge of asking my dad to sell him because I thought he'd put me in hospital, then my instructor came along and taught me about handling him, she took on his training and teaching me in lessons together. Now I ride him bitless. On Our first ride on the road we were alone, I had him trotting on the road in that same ride. He gave me my first true friendship. He isn't particularly good at anything but he's perfect to me.
He's gorgeous . And his eyes and colouring are to die for. If you can't tell I'm a sucker for greys, and the fact that he has blue eyes as well. Drool .
he is a pretty thing! and I know the feeling of being a complete beginner despite lessons. Except I had been taking lessons since i was 7, and I was 20 when i bought my horse. i was a decently confident rider but, wow, did I ever learn how much of a different game it is to own a horse and ride/train it then to ride in lessons (even young ones). My instructor was my saving grace as well.
So glad you guys worked it out, and that you have a great partnership and friendship now
