Angela took Pilgrim out for a walk again. This time she went with another horse, a coloured cob. Our big heavy horse decided to be a bit of a bully and tried to kick the smaller horse – not very friendly of him.
We took him out again just on his own, Angela riding and me walking in front. That was really hard work. He only has two speeds, slow and top. Took us nearly an hour to walk half way to the next village but once we turned him round to come back, we found that he could go quite a bit quicker if he thought he was going home for some more horse food! And talking of horse food a large bale of haylidge lasts no time at all the amount this Percheron eats.
We have now enrolled for a course on horse care so that we can get more experience in looking after our growing herd of horses.
