My first session with Columbus was in a form of a 40 minutes ride in a field. I concluded he needs to go back to basics and be taught how to be a cooperating gentleman.
He hasn't done much in his life in terms of schooling but does some hacking in a lovely Richmond Park and is very well looked after.
He would definitely do with loosing a little bit of his fatty deposits but mostly they just need to be turned into muscles (which he lacks).

PREFACE

Hi, my name is Columbus and up until July 2007 I didn't really have to do much. I know I am a rare breed i.e. I am special and so everybody should treat me like a king. I mean, I spend all days with two nice Connemara ladies; we chat, eat and enjoy life! What more could one want!
I am an easy going chap but if I don't understand something I can get stroppy and will let you know I am not quite happy, that is for sure.
I have great owners but Lady Owner (who also owns this nice grey mare -Rosie- I share my field with) decided she wanted some lessons and so I somehow got involved.
I was not overly happy with my first training session but then my Owners got a little more involved. I started getting more attention and I figured that this whole training might not be too bad...Then I heard Wiola saying I have 'presence' and 'could be great with a bit of training' so I thought I would participate in this circus...for now!

Wiola decided to keep this diary to record my progress. Well, I won't be arguing...
