His gaits are quiet and rhythmic, but he also has great forward energy. I love the videos for that reason. You can see him going “Oh, another jump? Okay! Oh, we’re turning? Okay!”

I think what you are doing for this young lady is important.
When I was a child I had a kind neighbor like you. She and her husband were my neighbors, beginning when I was 10 yrs old. To this day I remember her mentorship and kindness so fondly. I’ll never forget her generosity in letting me ride her horses. We would go out hacking together and sometimes take a picnic lunch.
She let me show her horses in the local riding club shows.
Well done you, for giving this kiddo such a wonderful experience.

Same! I remember the riding instructor I had from when I was 10 - 13. Almost 30 years later, I still take care of my current horses in the manner she taught me. We’re friends on FB and I love hearing from her to this day. The time spent with her and getting to ride her horses really molded me to where I can ride my horses at the level I’m at today. I truly believe those years were priceless.
@2bayboys I’ve lurked since you started this journey with Henry. I love checking in and seeing his progress and glow up!

Now I am taken with his ears… “looking” ahead with them in the “what’s next?”manner, interested, not worried.

Henry is officially a horse! He measured right at 14.2 over the summer but I noticed this fall he was getting quite butt high. He recently evened out a bit and he measured this morning at just over 15 hands. And he’s become quite a solid little guy, taking up much more of my leg. He doesn’t turn five until next May so I’m guessing he’ll end up a nice cob type somewhere around 15.2. Perfect for foxhunting!

He is growing up to the big head he came with long ago.
He must have been malnourished for long time.
Sure has blossomed, what a wonderful job you are doing with him.

I was just going to say the same thing. 
He looks more balanced as a whole. He looks so good.
If I were in the market, I would be after him.

Fingers crossed that we get to see pics of adorable Henry wearing some holiday finery.

And this is why we can’t have nice things
I use a muck tub to carry hay out to the fields. This morning I turned around for five seconds to check something, turned back around and found out I had “help” with my chores.

Henry: “I hate it when you have to get through all that packaging to get to the food!”
But he’s very cute as he tries to destroy your muck bucket!
