So when is one standy not enough??
It's been a while but that doesn't mean I havn't been very busy collecting horses.
After Max, there came two little colts, Pebbles (named in memory of Rocky, and Casper) both purchased from the dogger yard at the sales along with about 40 other lucky little welshy and welsh cross foals that had been collected from various studs - isn't it a poor show when reputable studs breed haphazardly and create this excess of horses, who are most likely bound to be dog meat??
Poor little mites, Pebbles (bay) and Casper
With some time and some love, worming and some good feed, lots of handling and lessons these boys became the kindest, most loving pair. Pebbles left to live his life out with a wonderful young family in the Hunter Valley, he is a much loved and spoilt member of this family some 2 years on.
Casper was given to my husband as I was only meant to be bringing one home, lol, well it was his birthday and he always wanted a grey horse. Casper remains with us in our herd of five horses, three of which are standies.

Pebbles has a new boy
There is a lot of satisfaction rehoming a horse to such a wonderful family, this boy is so loved, ok spoilt, no loved!!! He joins them in the cubby house, he walks onto the deck for evening drinks with friends. He walks into the office to spend bonding time with the head of the family. He chases the dog, they play tag, and if the family are out and about you can bet your life Pebs will be there.
