April 2007
Morris is booked to be started by Dave Stewart at the end of May so we have been working hard on giving him the preparation he will need to make things as easy as possible for both him and Dave. Over the past few months he has learnt to lunge and long rein. All this has been done either in the field or on our hard core area with the herd for company. The hard core area is hard and stony but Morris has such strong feet he never notices the ground on which he is walking and trotting. We have also been educating him about the outside world by taking him for walks. He always goes with Fari so he has a nanny when things get scary. We have done many miles on the road and his feet are wearing into hooves of steel.
