On Friday we took delivery of Willow, or at least that is her name for now.
She seems really calm and placid which is good news and for those obsessed with stats, bhp etc she is a 4 year old Connemara cross in the best colour which is either Dun or Buckskin, I get them muddled up. She puts out a steady 1bhp and is currently 15.2 hands high and 450kg but expected to reach 16 hands and 500kg. She runs on organic matter and is bizarrely ULEZ compliant .

"My ball went under the furniture, don't worry though, I got it!'
Been trying a bit of recall training with the Great Dane.
Have got him interested in playing with a ball.
Took ball to field.
Threw ball.
Other two run after ball, Dane just runs whichever way he’s facing. Runs for a bit, realises he’s on his own and looks to see where others are.
I think he might have been sulking or embarrassed as I had to go and get him eventually, no way was he coming back.
Might just stick to long walks on the lead.

Macca?
Is she a Sports horse, or an Adventure horse?

I get cheap footballs that he likes, they don’t last long though.
He doesn’t seem to have grasped the idea of fetch yet, if I throw anything he just runs and rarely in the right direction.
Probably doesn’t help having two other dogs, we’ve found that makes training harder.
