wow really? Thank you! The vet called by today already been yesterday for a thorough check over and he called in just to see him and he said he was blown away by him! I am far too proud ;-)
What a beautiful prince....and Merlot is just toooo proud!!!! Im so glad to hear all is well..you must be so happy...I said it on your last thread...but congrats again and keep those baby pics coming!!!!
Awww! He's still every bit as cute as he was yesterday. CLaPorte is right, you know. He is quite a fine specimen with his beautiful, refined head and those sloping shoulders. I'm really looking forward to watching him grow.
Thank you everyone, and yes Eqqy he has two sporty little white back socks and a tiny bit of white under his fetlock on his off side foot. He spent today galloping around the trees driving his Mother crazy as she tries to keep up. He has worked out that is he slaloms the trees, he is much more nimble than she is LOL
More tomorrow
He will never be for sale - he is and was always going to be my forever horse. Persil, Merlot and Zephyr will stay with us for the rest of their (or my) lives.:shock:
Seeing how he has turned out it would be tempting to breed another but my paranoia about the sort of home I could find refuses to let me do that and I can't afford ANY MORE horses damn it! (it's also a time thing - I believe in spending as much time as possible with each of my horses - whether it's just hanging out with them in the paddock, riding or grooming).
Honestly this little man is TROUBLE. He RULES the paddock.
Little Prince Spoilt Rotten.
Merlot is absolutely frantic in her efforts to contain him but he just irrepressible.
I have to say he is the boldest foal I have ever come across - he marches/gallops up to anything new and investigates thoroughly.
Anyway here is day 3, they're not great as my arm is pretty sore but you get the idea - sorry :shock:
(wish I could catch him spronking - the light is too low when he does it - it's hilarious - he looks like a little wildebeest.
Hi Muppetgirl, his mother is a NZ Quarter horse (the type bred for speed) and his Dad is a beautiful buckskin Station-bred/Angloarab.
I wanted a horse to do CTR with and he will be just the man ;-) (won't start breaking him till he is 4 years so it's going to be a long while LOL , when he is weaned (around 9 months) I'll ride his Mother.
The cutest and prettiest foal I have ever seen - apart from my guys' baby photos, of course. You are one lucky horse owner!
