This post is a bit of a reminder of where we started from, to where we are now........
He arrived near 5 months ago ... 2 weeks after, we removed a good 1/3 of his hoofwall due to a rampant case of seedy-toe, and he was disgustingly underweight ... Earlier pictures of him show a tired, rather depressed horse. Recent pictures show him with that spark back in his eye ...
He's now looking like a million dollars and is SOUND! We've spent alot of dollars (well, I have) and we've come a a long way - but the day has come where this gorgeous laddy can stop just stuffing his face, and start earning his keep...
He's worn the lunge-roller before, but for our first session back, we graduated straight to the saddle for our free-lunge session .... He was a star! Took everything in his stride and displayed a great work ethic.... He wanted to work; makes me wonder why he never made it as a racehorse - guess he never found the right trainer.... I look forward to getting this young guy going - he's going to be a stunner for sure ..... He's only 6 - rising 7 .... He's got a bright future ahead!!
And now for the important things... Piccies!!
Let's not forget - how he looked in his SALE photo.... (Knew then I had to upgrade him)

My FAVE picture! Love how he looks!

Good on you for persevering Karly!
The great thing about these horses is that whatever time or effort you put into them they repay 10 fold!
He's definitely been worth the time, effort and money :o) .... He actually has an attraction to the other half - to which the other half takes great delight in a might add!!
So I dareday they'll be partnered up together when I get him going... hehe...
