Marcelo is my rising four year old home bred Paso Fino colt, by Rev out of Chica. I generally wait until after four to do work, but he is really well grown and I have just had to separate him from his gelding paddockmate, as play was getting a little too heated at times. So I have decided to start with starting him under saddle. However, not only will I be taking my time, but when I get to the part where I’ll actually get on his back, it will be for very short periods. And once we’ve had a few short session with the basics, I’ll give him a break for another year. Working with him now will help with everything later as I intend to run him on as a stallion.

• they move easily, so whether horses step on them or over them they may move which makes horses look at them and think

I’ve had a busy time with visitors and horse education. The lovely and colourful Nick graduated from horse primary school and went home with his owner Alison.
