Arthur's 7 Week Update

It was 7 weeks ago today that Arthur arrived with us and he's progressing so fast! He was quite nervous when he arrived but Faye described him as being nervous on the outside but not on the inside...which might seem strange...but he's a confident chap really, he's just not had his confidence developed and sometimes he's probably just become more and more confused about things. He wasn't keen on willingly letting you approach him on his right side in particular and he had been described as being difficult to catch. He doesn't have any notches or brands.

Faye's been catching and headcollaring him out in the field at different times of day. He's really taken to the Horse Agility obstacles and he's definitely a pony that likes to do things. He will stand at the fence looking at the course because he wants to have a go. He's entered into this month's Horse Agility Starter competition and although the deadline has already passed for the liberty we had a go at some of the obstacles, which really shows you how he's come on. Look out for the sneaky glove pickpocketing on the hula hoop obstacle!!
