Well all my current horses were born & raised here this is the only one that wasn't,but she was from our old stud. We got as a yearling after her owner passed away & she needed a new home. Pics of her as a yearling first summer at our place & of her as a baby at her old owners.

Wonderful idea!! I've always wondered what the "original" ponies looked like. ;)
This is little baby Robbie!
He was a scruffy, ugly, four year old 15.1hh grey thing when I got him haha. Now he's my 16.2hh gorgeous hunter pony. :D



He was SO dark..now he's white haha.






First show after owning him for a week. :)

Nice to meet you!

Everyone here will be great help. I find this forum to be VERY educational and this is where I go EVERYDAY to learn more about horses and care. It has defiently raised my knowledge in horses(as well as other websites,books,and horsie friends) and I share information to others.


I hope you enjoy it here and hope to see more pictures of your boy. He is such a cutie. Arab?

This will be fun. ^-^ My first horse was Moe, a 3 year old Pony of the Americas gelding. The first picture is of when we officially bought him and stacked him out on the lawn at my trainer's house. I think he is pretty ugly in this picture, but if you saw the picture of the first time I saw him.. You would think I have major problems. He had a winter coat and was butt high with a giant head and a giraffe neck. In the first picture he also has a big cut on his bum that looks like a spot, and a cut above his eyebrow. (Should have been some sort of a red flag for something, but my parents knew nothing about horses then.) The second picture is the latest picture of him being ridden on the trail. Well, actually making our own trail through the field. (My dad was too lazy to go all the way around, so we just cut through our field.) The third picture is of him just out in pasture more recently.

Second horse was Sadie; my mom wanted a horse and so she got one. I told her in my trance of loving nothing but spots I wanted her to get a horse that wasn't solid brown. When we got her she was a obese chubbychubbypony. Now she is a healthy weight and does not have a cresty neck and random lumps of fat. I have trained her out of most of her pushyness and she knows to listen to me. She is a really good trail horse in the sense that she doesn't spook. But she is still needing alot of work on walking a straight line on the nice dirt path instead of the rocks.

Third horse was Gypsy. She free from my cousin and I had no idea what she looked like. I knew absolutely nothing about her and did not go with to get her. (I didn't even know if she was a mare or not.) I made fence in the pouring rain that day after sheering alpacas. Then I heard the little mare screaming in the trailer. All she did for weeks was trot around the pasture and get bullied by the other horses. Now she has our fourth horse to discipline and has lots of fun just being a horse. She is very timid around certain people; she needs more of a slow approach to trust you. (Most people just race up to her after I explain that. -.-) I persisted in getting her to trust me so I can do alot with her. She is twenty years old, plus she both rides and drives.

And last but not least number four! She was also a free horse, but the guy was really genuine. He is older and wanted her to go to someone who would train her and make use of her. She is ABC registered American Bashkir Curly, and I am going to try and register her ICHO aswell. She is going to be broke next spring/summer. She is also a chunker and we are working on it. Over winter I will be able to regulate their diets better and she will cut some pounds. Her first picture fairly ugly, but looking at her in the pasture she is so much more beautiful. The last picture is of Scarlet when she got out of our extra pasture that isn't electrofied.
