A little golden riding horse

May 24, 2011 22:46

Now that Cash is settled and starting to feel sounder on his feet, it seemed like a good time to get him thinking about working again. After some nice groundwork the last couple of days I thought it might be good to get on him today ( Read more... )

photos, cash

are those Rice trailers in the background?

Cash looks great!

They are Ifor Williams, who are one of the biggest UK makers.

Ah. I have a Rice that somehow made it over to the states from the UK. Pretty much no one here has ever seen or heard of one. But I can see from the link you sent me they're similar in design and style.

I think that's kind of the standard design over here. They're not brilliant, but they're inexpensive and solid. Transport here tends to require more wiggly roads and less distance than in the US and they work well for that.

Sparkly vampire Cash! :D Watch out, before you know it he'll be standing in your bedroom watching you sleep.

You both look fantastic in that third photo. Cash is so cool. :)

Thank you. He is actually 100% supercool.

Man is he gorgeous! Loving the frequent photo updates of this beautiful boy. And I think you're right, he's not too small for you at all.

It surprised me but I'm happy with it. He really is only pony size so he's certainly little, but most people here ride horses that are bigger than they need anyways.

He is a cute little horse! Yay for his good ride! :)

glenatron May 25 2011, 07:43:29 UTC

He is, and thank you :)

Big contrast in horsey body language between first and last shots! It's lovely to see him with ears forward and tail relaxed.

He's the type of horse who thinks that pretty much everything is the end of the world for the first thirty seconds and then realises it hasn't killed him and does well. I think he'll get a lot better with it, but it will always tend to be his nature. I expect our first few rides out to be somewhat snorty.
