As nothing is going on (apart from alot of rain)......

I thought I would just put some random pictures of Diesel on which were taken this summer while he was smooching with my 5 year old daughter, Makayla.

Nothing much happening.....

Well, now that the weather has turned to custard Diesel is enjoying just lazing in the paddocks, eating till his heart is content. I drag him out about once a week for a brush and wee feed but apart from that not alot is going on with him. He has turned into the fluffiest teddy bear though, his coat is so soft and thick, I just love burying my fingers in it, and it is SO BLACK!!!!!!!!! I will be leaving him be over winter and start doing alot of ground work in the spring.....

DARN ABCESSES!!!!!

Looked out the window the other day to see Diesel on 3 legs......quickly went outside with my heart in my mouth thinking he had broken something. Called out to him, he whinnined back and tried to hobble over and looked like he was going to fall over with every stride. Gave him a thorough check over and could find........NOTHING! Ended up being an abcess in his near-hind...he is such a big sooky-bubba with abcesses, anyone would think that his leg was cut off!!!! Anyway, as soon as it burst he was as right as rain.......charging around like there was no tomorrow! At least I know in future that any limping will most probably mean an abcess, and not a broken leg like I thought this time.......Horses eh??????

Introduction to my fella....

Well, I finally thought it time that I caught up to many in the horse world and start my own blog following the life of my young gelding, Diesel.

At the grand old age of 34 I finally felt ready to look at purchasing my first foal. After considering what I wanted and didnt want I finally put the word out there that of what I was looking for. A friend, Anna, contacted me to tell me about Diesel whom she had been doing some handling work with. He had justed turned 7 months old. I arranged to go and view him and fell in love! He ticked all the right boxes and after his breeder checked out my property the purchase was complete.

Diesel has just turned 2 years old and I will be using this blog to follow our progress of making him into a riding horse.

Just some random pics of my boy....
