During October Charlie and I have had two lessons with Sarah where we took him out for a walk. He was OK on the first one but needed some reminding about his leading manners. In the couple of weeks between the lessons I realised that he is grumpy and bad tempered because he is hungry, and so before the next lesson I gave him a big heap of hay, carefully gauged to be finished just before the lesson. It worked like a charm! He was polite, well behaved and cheerful, with perky ears, just like the baby horse I bought.
Sarah and I agree he should have a couple of months off now, so he can get used to the winter. He'll still have to have his feet trimmed though!
