Yearlings of 2012

Soooo since we had a "Foals of 2012" thread, I thought a "Yearlings of 2012" thread would be a great idea. Everyone can share their cute(and not so cute) growth spurts, compare training/growth, and just oggle over the cute(and not so cute) yearlings!

Here's just a couple pictures of Henny to start off with. :) He's doing great so far. Currently 12.2 at the withers and growing like a weed at 10 months old. He's a quick learner and I get compliments on his disposition/training/cuteness every where I go. Show off your yearlings!

Hey, Talyn resembles those remarks LOL.

Anyway, she's about 11 months old, was completely feral until about a month ago when she was captured, weaned, and handled all in one fell swoop.

Currently standing 12.2 (13.1 at the hip) and string tests to 15.2. Parents were both around the 15 hand mark by my best guess.

Anyway, in the last month, she has learned to let me walk up and halter her in the pen, she'll let me pick up all 4 feet and do anything with them, she's had a bareback pad cinched down on her, she leads like a champ through deep snow, deep water, and past scary vehicles and dogs. She's still working on consistently giving any part of her body to pressure, but we're getting there.

I'll start off with a couple of her more flattering photos.






And one of her "pity me, I am a most unfortunate looking creature" pictures LOL.

I love the name Talyn. It's so fierce and exotic, it matches her very well! She's so stinkin' cute.

:shock::lol: Poor Talyn, that last picture of her just slightly dampened my 'TALYNTHEBEAUTIFULWILDPONIEEE' image of her. Not much though, she's still freaking gorgeous <3


Most of our yearling colts are out in the pasture being babies right now, so I don't have any recent pictures of them. Peppin is 19 months old now and 15.3hh at the hip (I think? Can't remember), our little Foundation QH colt Reu is 15 months old and 13hh at the hip, and I'm not sure about Gremlin. He's actually 27 months old right now and should be coming in to be broken lightly later this summer or fall though so I'll try getting pictures then ;)

We do have two here on the farm with us still though! :D

Mary Jane- 11 month old Miniature Mule filly, 24" tall. (Honor, my five month old, is already as tall as her xD)


She's...ah...rather grumpy. And bossy xD


Poor little gal didn't quite make the showing cut, as she has some pretty crooked legs. The vet suspects it was from how she was positioned in her dam, since both her dam and sire have good conformation and have thrown some very nice foals.



And then there is Kenzie!!! She's a rather unfortunate little rescue that we're fostering but she's the sweetest thing. She is 16 months old and was 12.2 at the wither last time I checked and not butt high :)-() but string tests to be 15.2 if we can get her past this nutritional hump. She's still underweight and shedding her icky unhealthy coat, so please excuse her appearance.


Yes...I really am that short.




Not sure if these two count since they're LATE 2012 foals and are actually weanlings, but we'll pretend they are xD Jet (black) has already left for his new showing home and Honor (the dun) is for sale. Her last prospective home didn't quite work out so she's hanging out with me for a little longer while she waits for a new home. Not that I mind! Jet is 6 1/2 months old, Honor is almost 6 months.

My little cowpony, Honor. She's 9 months old now and 13.1. Sorry for the halter line, this was right after a lesson and the winter fluff got flattened, not a very cute look.

In her true form, telling off Merit. I've no doubt this is my next alpha mare.

Kenzie and Honor are so cute! I love Honor's fluff face bahaha.

Holy big booty! And I thought Henny had a big butt. He's got nothing on Honor! ;)

Athena (10 months old)

Finally got a few pictures today. She is looking ugly from the winter. She really grew a thick winter coat. She is now 10 months old. She is the boss of the herd already.

Her eyes have changed color.


This is at two weeks old.


She was not happy about me brushing her out.


She decided to follow Ben around. I think she was hoping I would leave her a lone. :lol:


I'll post really good pictures soon.

Here's introducing Jacqua Blues, or Jacqui for short. Our Australian Stock Horse cross Quarter Horse Filly, coming up 16 months.

Mammal Horse Colt Foal Wildlife

Here she is about 2 days old, and yes mum is with her! You can see the dams nose on the right vertical.

Mammal Vertebrate Horse Terrestrial animal Wildlife

Ever the poser! about a month and a half here.

Horse Mammal Vertebrate Pasture Mane

And the ever important awkward looking teen body, at about 5 and a half months.

Horse Vertebrate Mammal Mustang horse Stallion

Her most recent photos, and even these are a couple of months back. She was the only one out of all the horses to come up and actually play with the soccer ball, so hopefully she won't spook easily when it's time for breaking in!

All your babies look great, Image!

This is an updated pic of Henny from 2-3 weeks ago. He looks so nice and level and proportionate in this picture. Now he's butt high again LOL

Thanks! He is indeed a brown based buckskin. I was hoping he was going to shed out to a light tan like he was after he shed his foal coat, but it looks like he's shedding out dark. He has black/brown hairs mixed with his tan so I'm very excited to see him all shed out :)

I bought this listtle girl at an auction last august, the guy said she was a yearling then but who knows, Also said sire was a 16hh sorrel QH, DAM wasa 16hh White Spanish Mustang??? Anyway, we measured her at 12.2.

And this is her in December...

And her, last week, starting to shed out and see the sooty come in! Measured her at 13hh!

She is so full of herself and thinks she runs the pasture with 14 other horses in it!
