Oh, there are quite a lot of us! My boy has been with us for about 6 weeks now and has settled in well. He is loving all the attention and is very curious about what we are up to every time we go outside! I feel like we have established a mutual trust and I love it when he trots over when I call him.

DD1 is almost 9 and loves horses. We have told her that if she helps with my boy for 12 months we will consider a pony. So far so good, she is out there every morning and every afternoon rugging, grooming and feeding him. She even helps with the poo! He is a great boy with lovely manners, not much perturbs him. His 'birth mum' has done riding for the disabled with him (her DS has special needs) and his entire manner relaxes when one of the kids is on him.

He does have one bad habit... he's a wind sucker! Apparently he has done it all his life and he has worn the collar with no success. Any suggestions?
