Little and Large

The horse on the left is Tarragon, a wonderful Suffolk Punch. She's five years old, incredibly beautiful and more than a little cheeky! Her owner is going to work her (pulling logs) and I've already asked if I can tag along to photograph them. The horse on the right is Joey. Joey is a sparky, handsome little chap and he's a firm favourite at the yard. I think he's fallen a little in love with Tarragon but, frankly, I think he's punching above his weight (no pun intended)!

Anna and Jack had a very intensive training lesson today and she let me ride him for a short while afterwards. She also let me ride him (all on my own!) from the school back down to his stable. I can't begin to tell you how thrilling that was!

You can see more images from the day here.

Ps Did you know that there are more Giant Pandas on this planet than Suffolk Punch horses? No? Well you do now.
