Hello!

Hi, I'm Toby, I'm a 13 year old thoroughbred cross and I'm a gelding but that is still a sore point so I prefer not to talk about it. Sarah found me on horse hunter whilst looking for her first horse, she thought that I looked like I could do with some good food and exercise from the photo on my advert but came to see me anyway. Unfortunately I didn't look much like the picture on the internet, I was much worse, I hadn't been looked after properly so I was very thin, my spine stuck up and people said my ribs looked like a picket fence, my hips stuck out too, I felt sad and couldn't be bothered to do much. I made Sarah really sad. I'm much better now but me and Sarah still have some work to do and need to get to know each other better so this blog has been set up to let people know how we are getting on.

Back to riding

I've enjoyed my week off from being ridden, I just did some lunging which is hard work but at least I don't have someone sat on me, I've done a bit of free schooling too so I've been having a good roll around in the sand and some mad moments, running around like a loonie. Ellie came to see me yesterday, I haven't seen her for ages, she did a bit of groundwork with me, she said she was making sure I had respect for her before she rode me, yeah yeah whatever. Sarah rode me for about two minutes then she got off, said she was too hungover and her jeans weren't stretchy enough to ride in, maybe she's been eating too much grass too.

Sarah rode me today, I was having a snooze when she came into the field, we both sat in the grass for a while, I got my neck, shoulders and head stroked which was nice then she said I had to get up but I didn't want to so I didn't bother but Logan came over to see what was going on, I thought I'd better shift rather than risk getting a kick from him. It's such a nice warm lazy sunny day today so I would've rather stayed where I was but I behaved myself anyway. I don't go out in my headcollar by the way, it's only on in the photos because Sarah had just put it on in so she could take me in and ride me.
