Latest equine addition moves beautifully

Well, my new mare, Kandi has arrived safely-she's very fine for a warmblood,l which is great as I'm what you might call small!
She travelled really well after a bit of kicking at first.
We've seen her REALLY move now she's in with new friends-I'm not sure I'm going to be able to ride such a big moving horse! She'll have to spend a life producing beautiful babies if I can't ride her-I'll give it a go tho'.
Unfortunately one of her shoes needs some attention so once that's sorted we can think about bringing her back into work-can't wait-she has a lovely nature-kind and seems pretty sensible, if a little babyish, though she's not been worked for about 6 months and she's only 6 AND a warmblood-notoriously slow to develop- so we;ll take it steady.
Very exciting-watch this space.

New warmblood brood mare purchased

Whilst searching for another tiny pony to join the party herd here, I fell upon a beautiful 6 year old mare who wasn't too far away.
She is very well bred, was imported as a 4 year old from Germany and appears to be very sweet natured.
She's not been in work for some months as her previous owner was working away, so I'm hoping to bring her back into work-I'm really hoping that she'll ride and move nicely and that I can do a couple of dressage competitions with her-we'll see! Her real job will be to produce gorgeous foals as at 25, my 'old' mare is a bit too old to produce another foal, which is a real shame as her 4 year old son moves beautifully and can jump too.
I'm off on Sunday to collect Kandi and I'll do some lungeing with her first before getting someone far braver than me to have the first ride!
I'm really quite excited-it's been 19 years since I last bought a horse for me.
Watch this space for our progress.
