Hello everyone!

I thought it would be a fun idea to start a forum about my new OTTB, Eli! So here it is :)

He's a 5 year old OTTB, he was never raced but was trained to. He's the sweetest little guy ever and is very smart. I've started him over some little jumps, nothing crazy as he's still pretty young. He's already picking it up amazingly and is so willing. He loves to walk around our pasture after our rides to look around xD

I'm not really sure what else to put, so please feel free to ask questions or whatever and I'll answer them!
Hope you guys stick around on our journey :)

Heres a picture of him! He's about 14.3hh-15hh right now, he might grow a little more, but not too much. But he's a perfect size for me as I'm not very tall lol

featuring my very dirty horse in the background..

Aww what an adorable guy!

Lol love the guy and his friend! How high are you jumping just curious?

With him I'm only doing little cross rails and verticals :)

Oh ok cool! Thank you he seems like a very nice guy!

Update- I wasn't able to ride yesterday because I was working, but I did earlier this evening and he was great! We did some jumping (about 18") and he was such a good boy. He's picking it up

so quickly and is so willing and just goes right over it like it's nothing. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask them, id be happy to answer!

Our past couple rides have been really good. Yesterday we did a bit of jumping and some trot poles and he was great!
Today we just did flat and worked on getting a nice bend around corners and circles and he's really picking it up quickly. He's so smart and willing, which makes the process so much more enjoyable. It started raining mid-ride which was so fun lol, but Eli honestly couldn't care.

I love his blaze. He reminds me of a gelding I took lessons on years ago.

Eli's been awesome in our rides the past couple days. We've gotten a lot better about not just running into the canter, but picking it up a bit slower and steadier. But overall, he's just been really good :)
