You know how Jack Russells always pick fights with the big dogs? Meet Sprout!
All three fed on Hoofkind by HorseHage & Mollichaff - thank you!
Baby steps! Rolo is starting to learn some basics, and he's doing really well! He's quite a nervous little chap, so we have to take things very slowly and ensure he's happy with what we're doing. I don't have a headcollar and leadrope on him so he can chose to leave if it gets a bit much for him. Happily though he seems to quite enjoy it!
Rolo (and super shiny Sprout in the background) are fed (a teeny tiny handful!) of Hoofkind by HorseHage & Mollichaff every morning, so they look tip top - thank you! π
Here's Max!Welcome to this week's 'Spotties' Spot'.
Meet Max! His full name is 'Glockner Elmar XIV'... but that's a bit of a mouthful so we'll stick with Max. Max is a Noriker, which is one of Austria's native breeds, and he was born and bred in the Austrian Alps. He came over to the UK in September 2017, along with his best friend Moritz (who you will meet next week!). Max is about 16hh, and is now six years old. Says owner, Rosie, of Galloping Acrobatics: "He's a very friendly chap, and despite being a heavy horse, is incredibly agile. I've seen him jump two six bar metal gates before!"
Max is currently learning all sorts including tricks, vaulting and liberty work in preparation for performing in next summer's shows. We can't wait to see him in action!
