One year ago, this happened.
 |
| (See the horse trailer in the background?) |
 |
| Ollie's first picture in his new home. |
We put him in the round pen.....
....and that started the journey with my stubborn brat. XD
The next morning, I let him out in the front pasture and he got his first taste of the new grass.
Then I had my first photo-shoot with him.
 |
| Blah. That mane! I am so glad it has grown out. |
Our first rides were a little bumpy.....
 |
| See my jeans? Yeah, he ripped those during the ride. |
..but as the year progressed, he improved.
 |
| June 2015 |
 |
| October 2015 |
I watched him get his winter coat...
 |
| So DIRTY!!! |
...and then become all sleek again.
 |
| After a bath. June 2015 |
He was there through the selling of three horses.....
 |
| Ollie with Rosie and Half Pint-sold May 2015 |
 |
| Cheyenne (far right) sold September 2015 |
 |
| Current mare-Billie Jean September 2015- |
...and stills remains as playful as ever.
I have learned so much, and he has too.
His mane has improved....
 |
| October 2014 |
 |
| May 2015 |
..and his tail also. (THANK YOU, MTG!)

His face has roaned out...(a little)..
 |
| October 2014 |
 |
| October 2015 |
...and we still have photoshoots.

He may be a little bit more difficult sometimes, but I wouldn't have it any other way. :)
I am excited to see what next year brings, and what new things Ollie and I will have to overcome.

I'd love to here the story of how you came to own Ollie.
ReplyDeleteI will be happy to share it! I think my next post could be on how I came to own my baby. :) Stay tuned!
