debris4spikePoor boy ... !!!!
Today was absolutely a lovely day. Although we had frost overnight the sun was out and it was warm by the time I brought DJ in from his field. I attempted some grooming - but as he is still very hairy and still loosing it at a steady pace all I succeeded in doing was getting myself very hairy as well!!
Toni rode Junior and led Smudge; and along with Ros and Cherry we headed off into the lovely Spring Day. We got about half way to the Church when Toni turned to head for home - but sadly for DJ Ros and I were going further!
We just had a great ride, despite the busy traffic ... and went to the Church and back a different route - just generally chatting and enjoying the day.
Once back at Ros's we said goodbye and I asked DJ to walk on, which he seemed reluctant to do. However Ros said that if he moved in with her then he would have to work every day ... and go on a diet.
Those 4 letter words - WORK and DIET did the trick - he decided it was time to head for home ... after all that is where the carrots are!

How does he react when a car goes by?

Most of the time we are out in company so he has "safety in numbers" - but sometimes it is easier to pull into the nearest gateway and turn him to face the situation - he feels secure and can see what is happening - and knows that I know about it - So, that makes things oK for him

The trouble with ponies is eating is one of their main hobbies - but Laminitis is always a worry! So sometimes we have to be cruel to be kind to him - H e didn't appreciate it last year!!
