I can now reveal that Theoden is my new horse. There seems to have been some inevitability that I would have him in the end as I have always really liked him. I am having his feet trimmed tomorrow and then walking him home across the Forest with Jenny on Wednesday. We might even re-back him on the way. I know Julie will be delighted as she started Theoden with me just over a year ago.
An interesting lesson in shaping behaviour this morning as I had moved the trailer into a different position and Jack wasn't at all sure that he should go in. Fortunately he overcame his misgivings and after he had loaded and unloaded four times, I was able to shut it all up again until tomorrow.
