This
is my horse called Filou. I share him with my friend so he is not
exactly mine, but I get to ride him when ever I want, and I love him.
He is adorable but can be a bit of a handful. Filou I am told means Bad
Boy, but I cannot confirm that, I think it is Dutch. He is a very strong
personality and not everyone can ride him. When I started to ride him he
tested me quite a lot, trying to turn round and go home, take the wrong
track, pretending to be scared of cars etc.. apparently he does this and
once he knows you are boss he allows you to ride him and he behaves.
He lives here in Lanzarote not far from Puerto Calero in a place called
Uga. We ride in the mountains with views of the sea and the volcanos.
While I brush him he likes to steal anything left on the shelf, he picks
up hats, water bottles anything he can and throws them on the floor. He
also likes to drink from the hose pipe while I hose him down.
Filou is definitely a personality and very independent but affectionate
as well he is typically Spanish - very temperamental and hot headed.
When I rode him the other week I made him walk slowly behind some other
horses he was not impressed as he wanted to canter so on every other
step he stamped his front foot down really hard, just so I knew he
wasn't happy.
He is very affectionate and I always give him a huge hug when we get
back from a ride.
