Massimo arrives

16.3 unbroken 3 year old Massimo arrived yesterday. We collected him from Alvescot Stud near Burford. He loaded beautifully and travelled as quiet as a mouse and then unloaded sensibly too. It's not until you get them home that you begin to discover their real temperament and he is a good one I think. He hasn't been handled a great deal as he is one of the horses Alvescot haven't yet had time to produce for sale.
But thankfully so far he is well mannered, sensible, incredibly laid back and seems a brave sort too.
He has had his first bath and been wormed and had a saddle on, which is all scary stuff but after his first reaction of "woah what are u doing with that" he accepts all these new experiences really quickly. After his bath I led him round the school to dry him off and he walked straight over all my brightly coloured poles and planks and between all the very spooky fillers.
