Anyway, just fooling around this afternoon. Ya'll think he might make a decent ranch horse someday?

:wink:

He's a bit downhill, but not as bad as this picture looks. His front end is in a bit of a hole...and he's only 2.5 years old.


Sucks, I'll have to wait to start him when he grows into my saddle, it's quite a bit too wide for him still.

Oh absolutely! He is a very handsome boy and really growing into himself quite well. Big and solid boy!

LOL, thanks ya'll.

Chevaux, I didn't really pick him, I just sort of had him dropped in my lap...much like I have most of my horses.

Drafty, LOL, I'll keep that in mind, but Rafe is the one I've always been determined to keep. If it came down to having to sell one or the other, I'd decided that I would rather part with Taz.

However, I am a bit of a hoarder...so as long as I can keep affording feed, they'll both just have to stay here :wink:. You're more than welcome to bring Aires and come spend some time with us though :D.

MHFQ, I know!! That happened last summer, I went out one day and he was still his fugly gangly self....then the next day I found a small version of John out in my pasture.

Perfect! You surely don't need 2 so now you can finally send me John's big handsome self!

One of these days when I have my own trailer and am making more than minimum wage, I'm gonna take you up on that!! Seriously!! The overprotective Marine (BF) will just have to deal with it. Lol.

Oh! I know! That could be our honeymoon!

"What do you want to do for our honeymoon, baby?"
"Go visit Jen and Rafe and Taz and Talyn! Pleeeeeeeease?!?! :-D "

15'2 is a good height, I'm with you on that one. I should do the string test on my filly. Both her parents are 16'3hh, so I fear what the result might be :lol: can't beat the draft crosses tho, such beautiful, sweet tempered crosses. Glad ours has draft in her, she's a bit playful, but as sweet as a button.
