Today Hollywood got a visit from Phaedra, who I have known literally her whole life, and she gave him lots of fuss and treats which he obviously loved as he is a real life barbie pony.

Lovely proper evening hack tonight with Steph on her gorgeous boy, Derek, who is one of Hollywood's field companions.

First time meeting the neighbours over the road, at first he was surprised by these marshmallows on legs then decided to go straight over and meet them. I missed the bit where he was nose to nose with one as they moved by the time I got my phone out. He is just so gentle and curious.

Yesterday was all about pulling funny faces and snoozing in the sunshine whilst being brushed.

Went to the yard after finishing work and as it was damp and drizzly decided I wouldn't bring Hollywood in for a groom so instead I went to see him in the field with his buddies and snuck him so treats (of course). It was so sweet as as soon as he heard my voice he turned and started to walk towards me and was even happy to stay with me having a fuss after the treats ran out.

Today was last of my leave that I had taken to ensure Hollywood settled in OK. Had a lovely hack in the sunshine and he is just getting more and more confident on his own each time we go out, I am so proud of how he is trusting me and adapting to his new lifestyle. He was happy to have a couple of little trots, ears pricked and relaxed and just enjoying himself. He has also been happy to have his turnout rug taken off and put back on in the field without even his headcollar on. He certainly earnt a few carrots for that tonight.

Today Hollywood got to meet a someone I have known for must be 40yrs as we grew up together going to the same riding school. Didi has had her own health issues in recent times and I can't wait until she is strong enough to come for a lovely ride on him.

Working towards his handy pony status with Amelia today.

Second solo hack today and Hollywood was a lot more confident until he saw a house name sign with a pile of logs next it. I do a lot of riding on my own so it was a great opportunity to teach him it's OK to be worried but that he should stop, think and breathe with no pushing from me, once he had taken a breath I would then ask him to move forward. This is what I have taught my older cob and now he will literally face anything as he knows he can trust me. Just love teaching Hollywood as he really listens and tries so hard.

Wondering what all the fuss is about.

With rain forecast someone got to wear one of his turnout rugs so he won't get a wet back so we can ride tomorrow.

So so proud of this boy today,only ever worked in a group and today he managed his first ever solo hack. We met several friends on their horses and would stop to chat and then he went off on his own, ears pricked taking in the sights and sounds. Lots of praise and neck scratches for him whenever he was unsure and listened to me and carried on. Got back to the yard where he watched one of the horses being clipped, again probably something he has never experienced.

A massive thank you to our local tack store, Rokers, for Hollywoods beautiful head collar and fleece rug.

We had a visit from our wonderful saddler, Ellie Martin, and Bill made sure Hollywood felt as confident and comfortable as possible for his first time in the arena.

Snoozing in the sun with his field buddy, Dom, watching over him.

Hollywood meeting my parents this afternoon and my dad insisting on making sure he ate all his tea.
07/03/2024
He is getting on so well with his new field buddies, he had obviously rolled or layed down overnight as he had mud up his back which makes me so happy that he is relaxed with them so quickly.

Hollywood had his first visitors last night when the lovely Emma and her daughter Bethany popped in to say hi.
06/03/2024
Eat hay, stop, listen, eat hay and repeat. Taking everything in on his arrival last night.

Meeting his new field buddies today, never have I seen such an anticlimactic introduction, one little trot and canter together then all go off and eat the grass together.

A quick snack break before heading off to herd cows and their calves in a huge round up of over 350 cows.
Having fun at a water trough during a break when moving cows between pastures.
