Billy and Vimto! (':

[Sync]

I have been promising you pictures of the buggers I ride, and today I finally managed too. I only had enough time to take one of Billy and one of Vimto as Ginger then escaped and all hell broke loose. The ground was slippery and it was throwing rain down on us (Typical Welsh weather, when the rest of Britain gets snow, we get rain..) so the chase was a little like a scene from a comedy film xD Anyway, here they are!

This is Vimto who then sneezed all over my camera after this picture.. Sod.



And here is Billy, who I have told many of you about already. He's a sweetheart when he wants to be, but don't be fooled by his adorable looks. He's an absolute nightmare to ride, wants to race everything. We ended up racing sheep today. Not as fun as it sounds.

Lovely photos Sync!!

Vimto's face looks as laid back as he is in that photo. Billy though? His face and how he acts don't completely match up, so I'm wonder what has happened to him to make him the brat you explain.

This is what I see in Billy and the analysis is in italics:
Wide prominent nose bone: May indicate inflexibility. Tight, round eye without wrinkles: Shows a high degree of anxiety and tension. Wide between eyes: Intelligent, with an ability to learn quickly. However, this type of horse may use his intelligence to take advantage of an inexperienced rider. Ears set wide at base: Likely to have a good capacity for learning. Steady.

Pretty much, I see a really (and I mean really) smart horse and that's just based off a slight analysis. If you can get him to soften his eyes, you might find that he will be a completely different horse. How to do this? Ask the yard owners about his past, if anything went wrong at any point to really upset him or set him off. If you want a complete analysis, I need complete head shots, profile and face on.

I know a little about him. He was bought by Ceri from a dealer who also bred him. He never had a hard life, and was allowed to rule the roost as the dealer loved him. This makes him think that he can take advantage. He does have ADHD which means that he dislikes to be told what to do, and there is nothing horrible that has happened to him in his life other than being spoiled. That's all I know.

Vimto is the complete opposite to his picture. He very obnoxious and believes that he knows best. I learnt to ride him in another yard, and he was sold to a girl who really loved him. But then she grew out of him and he was left as a pasture pony. Ceri then bought him. He has always been bossy, he has to be kept well away from other horses as he bites and kicks them all. He'd always been the same, and is maybe becoming a little more relaxed in his older age.
