Cheers Ron, that's fantastic news! I hope the lad enjoys it and I'm sure if he doesn't then they won't persevere with it. Can be a little headstrong, so good luck to the Charlotte in schooling him.
that's good news. it was hard to imagine him doing nothing at all. what's team chasing? when i clicked the link in the article posted above it said gate jumping competitions. that's quite different, although it sounds like he's with the right trainer. i would guess because both creatures like purpose and sociableness, same as dogs. and work that's fun is not work.

thanks for that. i watched the video and then did some googling and it actually looks quite tricky. as in it's not a dull walk in the park and has become more popular with spectators. here's hoping denman does really well, he's a tough horse, very best of luck to him.
