I finally found a song that sums up my feelings for him perfectly (Kudos to Matty, red hoodie in the video, for it!) I was going to use Carly Rae Jepsen's version, but this fits so much better to my little pikey horse.
It's been 1 wonderful month with my fantastic vanner Valken :D I realised I hadn't really done a proper introduction video for him like I had Harmony, so here it is.

I went to look at some ponies for sale to find some cheapo projects to bring on and sell to make a bit of money for the summer as I can't get out to America until the end of the year due to visa/passport etc. We saw some nice ones, a couple I was interested in and so we went to the big field out the back of my house to see the cobs. They had mentioned to me a blue and white gypsy vanner with blue eyes (they know how much I love them, especially blue eyes, that is my DREAM HORSE) and I had to go and see!
We were driving along in the field in my friends tiny little car playing rally driver when we found a small group and there he was, standing there with a dopey look on his face that said 'food?'
I couldn't take my eyes off of him, but I was only looking to spend a couple of hundred so made myself move on, later on (the field is about 199 acres of woodland and pastureland so it takes a while!) he strolled out of the woods and stood by the car as we drove past, then as we left and it was getting dark he came out of nowhere and stood infront of the car.
I knew then and there I would be taking him home with me!
The next day we went back up with my mum and I agreed a price for him, he was dropped off to me the next day.
It was probably one of the most stupid and impulsive things I've ever done, and I don't care because this month has been one of the best of my life, I truly did miss him before he came into my life, there was a large gypsy vanner shaped hole in my heart. Sure I had Dusty, Cheyenne and Emrys but two were part breds and one was a gypsy pony, not a vanner.
To find my dream horse now is incredible, I never thought I'd find a horse like him, he is incredibly forward going, fast enough to keep up with Mr Fancieshimselfaracehorse Blade, well mannered, snaffle mouthed, comfy and exciteable, but gentle as a puppy.
I just can't begin to say how much I love him, and I adore that if you canter him bareback he goes into half assed bronco mode, steady eddies are not my kind of pony and to find such a forward going mental cob is just mind boggling!

I'm flattered, like I'd ever own such an epic piece of music ;)
