Orchid - 14hh Arab: Orchid's a former rescue case, but she's as sweet as anything, and a mint monster! She was a bit lame today, but hopefully it's nothing serious. I didn't get a pic of her neighbour, Gucci, but he will probably have a LOT of fans! He's about 14.2, Arab x Welshy. Hidalgo: Hidalgo's the most colourful, shall we say, of the three in this particular group. He loves people, likes sucking on your clothes, and is another mint monster! I barely made it out alive... Incidentally, his owner offered to let me get to know him - and possibly share him, if I wanted...! This pretty girl is Mustang Sally: And "The Boss", Mystique: Both her and Sally have recently been backed and are being worked on. Finally, Hidalgo and Mystique, who's actually smiling for the camera!

Great pics! Where are they from? Is it where you go riding?

They're about a half-hour away from me, in East Lothian.
The owners were simply looking for a couple of people to come along and help out (they have NINE horses in total) and possibly take on a horse as a share if they wanted. I quite like Hidalgo, if I can survive him...! I think I would be a bit too tall/heavy for little Orchid, though.

Let us know if you decide to share him! He seems a real character.

Wee Orchid seemed to remember me from the last time I was there - she followed me around for ages, and wasn't going to let anyone else get a look in!
