Diesel update :) 

Diesel has been excelling recently. He has been out to cross country, to the beach and out on long hacks on the downs. He takes everything in his stride. Currently Tye Lane has taken a bit of a hit with the weather. We have no school and, with the fields soaked, working the horses is an issue. Sophie and Trudy are currently in the process of purchasing a second yard so they can expand. It has a sand school, so the horses that need it will be sent up there. Fingers crossed that moving day will be soon!

Canter is still an issue for Diesel, but he is becoming far more balanced and seems to be mastering it now. I think we have cracked the pacing :) It was a case of allowing him to canter fast and in open areas before bringing him back in and controlling it as he became more capable.

He will probably be up for sale early next year. We will all be very sad to see him go but he needs someone smaller who can compete him and allow him to reach his full potential. He is a very talented little pony!
