(Prem is actually 16.2″ hands high in his stockinged feet*. With shoes on he\u2019s probably bordering 16.3hh)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s about time I did a fulsome Prem update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two weeks ago he moved to a new home. He settled very quickly, made eyes at the little blonde girl (grey mare) in the next stable (she made eyes back and now they’re close friends).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His new home is quiet, has much more grazing\/turnout, and has a significantly nicer arena. The hacking is pretty good, but we don\u2019t actually do any hacking yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prem saw the dentist last week, and had a few rough edges taken care of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He’s in great shape; he’s getting exercised 7 days a week. His workout routine consists of about 40 minutes a day 60\/40 split between walking and trotting, working in tight circles, large circle, and straight lines to encourage flexibility and an even muscle development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There’s no rush; there’s no hurry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After successfully rehabilitating Prem as a physically damaged racehorse, I now need to rehabilitate Prem from being a racehorse into being a riding horse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If this all pans out we might do some low-level competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or we might just turn into a hacking couple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m just glad to have the opportunity to own a smashing chap who has a lovely attitude, and who will help me stay fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However there’s a downside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of his turnout companions is ripping Prem’s rugs. Two have gone im the last fortnight; and that’s getting expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He came in with a swollen face on Saturday, which implies one of his turnout companions bit Prem in the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If we can’t sort these problems out I might have to fallback to moving him to another home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This would be a real shame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
