A Stable Life for Me

The big day came! I was to have my own  tack room, hay barn, pasture and stable - and living with lots of new horses!

Debbie had put a deposit on a nice blue checked stable rug for me.

Sam had been busy preparing my stable.

A nice bank of dust-free shavings for me to sleep on, and a hay rack full of hay.

A bucket for my water, and an old tyre to stop me kicking it over!

A hay-net full of hay.

My tack-room was nicely stocked with things I would be needing for my first few days.

Including a box full of tasty treats - carrots and apples -  for me and my  new friends!

Once everything was ready, Sam had a rest in my tackroom, and a quick bite to eat before bringing me into my new home for the evening.

This was what I saw as Sam led me into the barn. 

How lovely, I would have friends to keep me company at night too!

I could see my tack-room from my stable door.

That evening I met my new best friend, Dylan.

I WAS A VERY HAPPY PONY!

Field Day

Once the farrier had trimmed my hooves and advised on treating my split frogs, I was allowed to go into my temporary pasture at the riding school.

The lady from the riding school lent me a rug to keep me warm and dry, and said I could use a field near the pony stables.

After grooming me, Sam led me out to the field with my new head collar and leading rope.

I had the whole field to myself!
I was so excited I didn't notice my sore feet as I bucked and galloped and rolled in glee!

Then I noticed some other horses in a field nearby, so I went to say hello.

I didn't stay clean for very long, but it didn't matter - I was a VERY happy pony!
