[FLIPPED HER HALO]

Now that the kids are reaching their first birthdays, I thought it would be fun to see how they’ve changed compared to their baby pics on the 2008 COTH Foals page.

How about we post up a pic on their 1st birthday?

I think that sounds like a great plan, as long as I can take pictures in April, Belle Starr's birthday, instead of showing Her Mudiness today. I can barely tell what color she is!

I'm all for that. My guy won't be a year old until next month (and hopefully clean by then) so I'll take a pic then.

Maybe we can even talk Julie into adding them to the website. :yes: I love going back and looking at all those baby faces!

[foxhavenfarm]

Ok, here's the first one of ours. He won't officially be 1 until the 12th. Of course he's mostly white so he's dirty...and wooly. :D

Glory's Legacy http://www.foxhavenfarminc.com/images/Legs14feb13.jpg

More to come as they approach their 1 year mark!

Silvation - my little boy that almost died at a week old. He's now being fit to show on the line and looks like a million bucks! I did this video today. He was blessed by the lead-change fairy!

His dad is Roc USA by Idocus, mom by Galoubet


First picture is one week old, second picture is 1 month old and third picture is right before his surgery with his mommas bridle on. Last picture was on his birthday after he got home from the hospital.

[siegi b.]

Since we're finally having some nice weather (actually it's too warm at 70 degrees!), I went out this morning and took pics of the kids. Here they are all woolly and butt-high - The Hotline filly and Johnson colt will be 1-year old next month while the OO Seven colt and Sinatra Song filly won't have their first birthday until June.

Dolce Vita - Sinatra Song
Divo - Johnson
Dateline - Hotline
Daimler - OO Seven

Enjoy!

[Parker_Rider]

Yearling Name: Folie a Deux
Sire/Dam: Futurist/Final Deal
Birthdate: 06/01/2008
Current Height: Getting big!!! haven't sticked her, but I'd say maybe 12-ish hands? between a small and medium pony.

She was a twin (the other one didn't make it :(), but she's a feisty little thing and was determined to survive. Fed her her first meal/colostrum out of a Coke bottle because Finale had been "leaking" her own out for 2 weeks. She's been wonderful this past year and I can't wait to work with her! She got trailered across the country (NC to CO) when she was 2 and a half months old and loaded on the trailer each day like she'd been doing it all her life. When a tire blew, she couldn't have cared less. Just chilled in the trailer like "what? no biggie!" Folie looks like a clone of her mama and acts like it too. When Finale's breeder told me she had the dominant genes, man was she right!
She has to have surgery in a couple weeks to clip her check ligaments... she just grew too quickly for her little front legs to keep up when she was ~ a month old and hasn't settled down on her heel. But she's wonderful and I think she's the greatest thing ever :winkgrin:
As for her name... "Folie a deux" is a psych term for a "Crazy/delusional idea shared by two people," and since it described her and her sister's insane idea to come into the world together, it fit in a nice way to honor her sister. Sorry for the novel... she's my first baby and I love talking about her... haha :)

All your babies look like real horses. My filly looks like 10 different horses put together and I am too ashamed to post anything but a picture of her face (thought I have some conformation pictures, she just looks hideous).

Birthdate: May 7, 2008 (10 months today!)

She was born almost a buckskin color but now she is a bay

[railmom]

I am going to agree with hca86......way too yaky just now!

LockeMeadows, how did you get your guy so fit and slick??? Has he been clipped? I am going to take my '08 Fabulex filly out to a few shows this spring. Any yak to slick in 60 days advice?

http://sports.webshots.com/photo/2227450360046770113eldzkT

This is the fugliest he's been so far this winter, and I'm STILL not ashamed to show him off, he's still lovely! I adore this little man. He's 9 months old now, and he just wore his first bridle on the weekend. Totally non-plussed, we walked up the laneway and down the road for 15 minutes, his halter on over top his bridle. I've been handwalking him off property since he was weaned, and he's at a different facility now for a month (they have an indoor), and I've been donig the same - handwalking him off the property and down the road. Just like my previous homebred, this one will be bombproof by the time he's 3. I can't wait!! :winkgrin:

[tidy rabbit]

My Sempatico colt. I don't have any little baby pictures of him though. But this is a video from last week.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFwYceku9Dk

He's 9 months old and about 14.3 at the withers and 15.2 ish at the croup.

[railmom]

tidy rabbit - cute, cute, cute! You are going to have some scrubbing to do come springtime!!

[DLee]

I think they all look wonderfully sweet! I love seeing the glimpses of what they will be.

Here is my redheaded girlie, she is the sweetest thing ever, I just love her to pieces.
She is TB, 14.3 last time I checked.

Haha, thanks!!! it's my favorite "baby" photo! Everyone's babies are sooo cute, I need to stop looking at them or else I'm going to be tempted to breed my mare again this year!!! :D Adorable, all of them - even those that some of you claim are awkward looking, haha love the babies!!!

Pilsner ("Buddy") will be a year old on April 25th. You may remember we lost his mother a few days short of his 3 month birthday. He has done well....these pics dont do him justice with all his fancy chrome but he was convinced that the snow was alive and going to eat him! LOL... He is a big boy right now...He is over 15 hands already....he loves his Uncle Zack who became his pasture buddy when mom died...and recently he loves his Aunt Angie so they might get a chance to play soon...

Cabaletta will celebrate her birthday on May 12th. Her sire is Cabardino, out of Viva's Paradise by Viva Voltaire.

She's the dark bay in the video, and the other chestnut in the video is a 2007 filly sired by Cabardino named Clementine. (alas, the chestnut is not mine!)

So many nice yearlings! Here are the 2 Popeye babies I sold as weanlings but are sticking around to do a little hunter breeding. They head to Pebble Beach next week.

The chestnut is Pop Quiz and the bay is Pin Up.

[Home Again Farm]

I just got my 08 boys home from where they foal out and spend the first year. They came home with my '07 filly by Fabuleux. It has been so much fun to have them here!

[STF]

I have not told many, but my 2008 -
http://www.spindletopfarm.net/inspecktur.htm
has been sick. We think he has some allergies that turned into a resp. infection last year. Its taken us a bit to overcome it, but after some pretty intense treatment he is doing 100x better. Made me sad, as he was one of the best I have bred and I haev a ton of hope for him. Vet says he looks fine now, but clearing up the infection was rough for a while.
Otherwise he is hanging out with Auntie Siegi (my Veneziano mare) who teaches him to be nice and have manners! :lol:

[Crosiadore Farm]

We had a warm day last week so I made a video of my 2008 Rohdiamont colt. I love this colt and I hope to keep him long enough to get started under saddle. He is sweet, beautiful and elastic. My only regret is I can not breed back! He will be one the end of March.

Genevieve, I am so jealous! I wish I was showing my guy right now!

It looks like they did great at the shows. I am so bummed my little guy can't show until the summer :( Darn colic surgery.

Will you be at the IHF this summer. I hope to see you there!

Ace was very sad the other day when the trailer left to the show without him. He has another month in his stall before he can get turnout.

Here he is in his stall this week...

Thanks Samotis. I am so happy your guy is recovering nicely. There will be plenty of shows for him when he is ready. He looks so shiny and healthy.

[okggo]

My gals are very much in that yak-ling phase (have been for a few months!)

This is our early Feb '08 filly http://s264.photobucket.com/albums/ii170/okgottago/Horses/Brook/?start=all no super recent pictures, though.

[TrueColours]

I finally got some new pictures done of Nightlight - Faux Finish's and Remember My Name's baby sister from 2008. As far as we know, she's the first smoky black & white sabino TB out there and as her winter coat is shedding out she is turning into that beautiful melted golden chocolate colour once again. She is by my cremello TB stallion - Guaranteed Gold out of my bay sabino TB mare - Puchi Trap.

She is also flipping huge - far taller than both Faux Finish and Remember My Name at this age. Very leggy - her legs go on for miles so she should also hit that 16.3-17hh range at maturity. These pictures are taken at 9 1/2 months of age

I'd like to see another 75-100 lbs on her, especially before she starts showing in the Hunter Breeding classes this year, but lots of time to slowly put a few more lbs on her. I think as well she is growing so darned fast - everything is going UP rather than OUT ...

Here you go - I am SO in love with this filly! :)

[Hampton Bay]

This is my filly, about a week and a half before her first birthday. She is half-Lusitano, by Lusiadas and out of my QH mare. She is about 13.2h right now, and she string tests to 15.3h or 16h (which is what I wanted). I adore her nosy self.

Look at that face! What is his dams breeding?

[Samotis]

wow! Cassy's mom, he looks so much like his mom!

Aiden looks great! He is clean! Bet that took some time!

Aces birthday was Feb. 23rd.

He had to be on stall rest until last week and here is a video of him his first day out!

He is still about 15 hands. He looks so much like his mom!

By Campesino out ot Raldeka Z by Ramiro-she is huge!

[Cassy's Mom]

Look at that face! What is his dams breeding?

Mama's breeding is actually fairly unremarkable. She's by a local stallion Zeus (not THE Zeus) who's pedigree is here: http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/zeus25 and out of this mare:http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/delightful14

Here's my fav pix of mama: http://picasaweb.google.com/jessica.heidemann/ForChristina#5185250552611492642

Samotis - now I'm going to go crazy trying to figure out who you are!! But you're right, he looks a LOT like her. I'm just hoping he jumps like her and is as brave as her...but maybe with a little less attitude in the dressage ;)

[Samotis]

Cassy's mom, I just saw some random pictures of her in your photo album! :lol:

I don't think we met. ;)

My colt looks just like his mother as well.

Many of you held my hand virtually and watched Allie come into the world last year. Even though she is bred to be a race horse she is going to a show in the morning as practice for the MD horse breeders association's yearling show in June. Neither of us has done anything like this before so it should be interesting! Here she is all cleaned up at 14 months:

I remember Allie!!! She looks wonderful!

[okggo]

FINALLY got some new photos of my yaklings. Both are going through that testy phase. The paint is just pushy pushy pushy, and all we seem to work on lately is moving OFF of pressure. The grey is the polar opposite, you touch her and she jumps sideways 5 feet. In hindsight, I'd rather one jump away then knock me on my butt....sighs.

Humor me ... :) ... it was a crummy, cold, wet, rainy day and I managed to get a few nice updated pictures of Nightlight now that her winter coat is fully gone and her beautiful golden chocolatey colour is back once again ... She's my 2008 TB filly by Guaranteed Gold out of Puchi Trap and a full sibling to my Faux Finish mare ...

Well, I'm back late to the party ;)

Samotis - that makes sense! I've shown the mare quite a bit all up and down the West coast so I thought maybe you had seen her at a show.

Spacely - I didn't know the Zephyr mare that well. When I met her she was a loved broodie ;) She was always very kind and BIG and a good mover. We've enjoyed watching her other babies grow up as well.

Yearling Name: Redshift (aka Orion)
Sire/Dam: Reno/Big Hearted Lady
Birthdate: 7/1/2008
Current Height: 14-something? pretty small

Orion turned 1 yesterday :-)

I played with the video camera today so here are some stills. Unfortunately he still seems small for his age but hopefully he'll hit another growth spurt... I went ahead and added a few from months prior. I hope he figures out this whole balance thing... Comments welcome (staying with me forever no matter what) :winkgrin:

Can't believe how long I've been waiting to post pictures of Nemo, the yearling, on this thread. As some may remember, he was born at VaTech because of placentitis, so health has been something of a brass ring for him since pre- day one. Here he is finally blooming and scoping clean after an 8 month battle with ulcers, etc.-- featured on what amount to previews of my long-awaited website. In these photos, Nemo is about 18 months old, 16 hands. It's been a long, but ultimately joyous haul. http://www.tunnelsendfarm.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Site.Nemo

Fish - Nemo looks great! He seems to have quite the personality. Very cute pics.

Thank you. Believe it or not, he is literally like a puppy-- as in, I throw balls, sticks, etc., and he fetches them. Quite the character.

Glad I posted here-- it's great to see still more lovely/adorable members of his crop-- and to have the motivation to keep checking what I've done on my new website: e.g., I just noticed that I put Nemo's brother's foaling date (2003) rather than his own (2008)!! Typos grow like weeds in whatever garden I try to plant :( Oh, well. What can I do but keep correcting-- and encouraging people to point out my mistakes?!

Thanks again for looking.

[ASBJumper]

Lovely babies, everyone!! Sounds like most of you have some seriously tall youngsters on your hands! :D

This is my yearling - he's 16.5 months old now (born early June '08) and just creeping up on 15hh (15.2hh behind). I finally got a couple of good pro shots from the shows this year:

Pretty cute guys!

I gave my guy a break after his show. He is up north with a friend enjoying the weather! He turned almost black since the last time I saw him!

He is about 15.2 right now. He will be 2 already in Feb.! How the time flys!

[Samotis]

Here was a picture I took from his first show.

Can you believe the color change! Its funny because he was so "sun" bleached at the show and yet he is out 24/7 now and is almost black!

Go figure!

[TwoDreamRides]

I'll play too! Just got these shots of our yearlings at the end of September - they have June/July birthdates.

He's still sweet as can be, although he might not look like it here!

[FLIPPED HER HALO]

Here are some more current ones of my boy (August 2009) from a show. He is filthy and butt high these days - currently 15 hands up front and 15.2 behind and 18 months old, by SempaticoM out of my TB mare.

He was a bit tense with all the commotion there that day. These are the proofs. I love this little boy and he is such an easy going lovebug. He follows me around pasture, hops right in the trailer and hauls to shows alone etc. Not much phases him.

Well, she's not from my 2008 foal crop -- she was bred by Walnut Farm -- but I'm the proud owner of Raleska, a Rascalino/ Warkant/ Argentan hanoverian filly. Here are pics of her as a foal:

She looks gorgeous as a yearling and had a pretty good year at the New England breed shows. At our big championship show, the Fall Festival, she was GAIG Filly Champion! She won our GMO Futurity on the same day and even won some money for me and her breeder, Linda Woltz! Here are some pics from that day:

Here is Ace. He will be 2 in Feb. He is about 15.3 and a half. Here he is out with the big boys. He is out of my TB mare and his father is Roc USA

By big boys, I mean they are both wearing size 90 blankets. Yes you heard right. He may look like a pony next to them, but he is huge!

He is growing up so fast! He is taking a break up in Northern Arizona at a friends. He will maybe go to a few hunter breeding shows next year if I have the time and money!

heres his cutey pie face! ;)

Can you tell I love him?

WOW! So many wonderful foals from 2008-Thanks everyone for posting their beauties!

[Oldenburg Mom]

My 18 month old is nowhere near the size of everyone else ... I cannot believe he is even 14 hands, e.g., the size of the beloved Teddy. I guess I bred a midget.

Mom is 16.2; Dad was 16.1.

The funny thing is he has been butt high for quite some time... or maybe I just see him every day.

*sigh*

They really ARE our kids aren't they? Thank goodness my trainer only weighs 100 lbs. I'm kinda sad ... it doesn't mean I don't loff him any less.

I'm just kinda sad for him ... hmmmm. What a stupid remark that is. HE doesn't care how big he is. Well, his butt has been up in the air for the past 6 months, it seems.

Weeelllll,... maybe I'm wrong. Here he is at Fair Hill in August (http://stacylynnephoto.exposuremanager.com/p/imunforgettablemsf/imunforgettablemsf10_27_31)... not that he was butt high then (http://stacylynnephoto.exposuremanager.com/p/imunforgettablemsf/imunforgettablemsf25_27_31)... Goodness, Stacy takes nice pictures. I'm sure he's grown since then ... I guess I just ... don't ... know. Hmmmph.

Everyone else's youngsters look WONDERFUL!

Isn't it funny, though. I look at his face and I see a "person" ...

[can't re-]

Well done everyone!

OM, they are our kids! Don't worry about your boy, as the shortest one in just about every class until high school, I'm fairly well adjusted!

M O'C - Love your As Di baby!

Here is what I have to show of Izzy by Zarr/Fleur de Lis - still haven't gotten pics. She is officially 15.2 1/2 and 19 months.

My 18 month old is nowhere near the size of everyone else ... I cannot believe he is even 14 hands, e.g., the size of the beloved Teddy. I guess I bred a midget.


LOL, don't count your chickens before they've hatched, OM. He may grow like a weed in his 2-yr old year, where a lot of others may stall and only grow 1-2 inches between now and next fall. ;) Just wait and see.

My guy isn't overly tall either, he's around 15hh at 18 months. I expect him to mature around 16.1hh, but if he stalls in his 2-yr old year like his half-sister did then I may get 16hh, tops, who knows!

[Oldenburg Mom]

Aww thanks ASB and Can't Re-

I have to keep reminding myself WHY I have horses. I loff them ... their personalities. It's a treat to watch them grow and to be goobers! Yes, riding is part of the equation, but if it's not possible, so what. The little squirt doesn't really care if he is six feet or six inches; what's important to him is: did I get enough treats? Is dinner/breakfast/lunch and my in between snack on time? And lastly,... of course,... am I loffed!

I'm never sure about the first two, but the last one ... no problemo!

[inquisitive]

How's everyone's babies doing?

My guy just turned 1 1/2 too and is about 15, maybe 15.1. I hope he has a big growth spurt next year :lol:

HA! It's now official! Someone let me use her official horse-measuring-device ...

Goober (aka Dickins) was born 6/10/2008. That makes him exactly 613 days old...OR 1.68 years old.

Measurements: 13 3.5 in the front, 14.2 in the back. Yup, still butt high!

Here is a picture of Belle Starr, foaled 4/15/08, by Bonheur out of Sandrina/Sao Paulo. This was taken Jan. 31, and she is in her winter woolies and just pulled out of the mud, making her grateful for a clean-up. She is close to 16 hh at the withers.

[ASBJumper]

Awww, tidy rabbit! I love his Happy Dance, that made me laugh! :lol:

I will get some recent pics of my guy soon, promise.
My Oldenburg/Saddlebred gelding is a June '08 model, and as of last week he measured exactly 15.1hh at the withers (a bit higher behind but I didn't bother measuring). Still on track to finish around 16.1hh, yay! :D

OM - what's the breeding on yours again? Sounds like he's going to finish around 14.3hh-15hh...

[Oldenburg Mom]

OM - what's the breeding on yours again? Sounds like he's going to finish around 14.3hh-15hh...

His breeding: Omnipotent/Roseland/Rubinstein. Omni was by Heisman out of an Olisco mare, and Dickens was Roseland's first.

I just have to keep reminding myself that he doesn't care how big he is ... and I surely don't loff him any less. I don't think I'd part with him, ever. He ALWAYS says Hello, whenever I call him. And he reminds me a lot of his Dad (I miss him so much. :()

How big do you think this one will get? What are the parent's size?

Awwww heck. I don't have a clue. At almost a year and three-quarters, I don't think he'll be a giant. :no: Mama: 16.2 Daddy just under 16.1

[tidy rabbit]

I'm starting to worry that my beloved Comet! wont be big enough for me. :(

I'm nearly 6 ft tall and need a larger horse, but he's 10 months old and only 14.2 at his withers and a hair over 15 behind.

Both his parents are bit over 16.3. I'm holding my breath.

[ASBJumper]

Jeebus, tidy - 14.2hh at 10 months old?? That's pretty durn tall! Unless he magically doesn't grow at all in the next few months I'd say you're easily going to get 16.2-16.3hh.

I am not ready to let anybody take pictures yet but wanted to tell you all that I rode my baby today! The exercise rider who is breaking her for me rode her first for about 10 minutes doing some w/t/c then I got on. She is just learning but has good brakes and good steering. She likes to drag herself along with her front end rather than push off her hind end and felt like a cross between a llama and a giraffe but all in all I am pleased with her progress. I started some very basic dressage with her asking her to lower her head and use her butt at the walk and she started to get it.

I have only one yearling photo from my babies of 2008, she was bought locally and I have had the pleasure of watching her grow up! :-)

This filly is by Rosenthal out of a DaVinci/Dolberg mare. She was born 6-28-09 She was 14.1 at 16 months and I am hoping she will mature to at least 16 hands. Dam is 16.2h and Sire is 16.3h. Her owner won't mind if she stays on the smaller side as she is only 5'.3" ish!

Here she is at 6 months of age.

And here she is at 16 months of age.

I have a few more photos of her somewhere I will have to dig up! :-)

Here is a picture of my guy's first time in his saddle!!!

I lunged him with his new bridle and my saddle and he looked so cute!!

Not ready to ride him yet, but he thought he was very cool with his saddle. He kept looking at it!;)

[tidy rabbit]

Samotis,

Cute horse!

That looks like my old Butet saddle. You didn't buy that on ebay last spring / summer did you?

[Samotis]

no, its an Antares. I actually got it new as a gift for helping my friend train her horse!!! (pretty darn nice gift huh?)

If it wasn't for her I would be starting him in my old flat, slick tudor saddle I have had since I was 14!!!

He has had surcingles on before, so the saddle didn't really phase him. The saddle with me in it may be a different story!!

He will be my first horse from scratch. I used to re-train horses off the race track, but I have never started a baby before. But I have also never bred a horse before! He will be my first on many accounts!

[FLIPPED HER HALO]

Hopefully it is a piece of cake! I've already sat on Aiden and he could care less. I got on him in pasture one day when I climbed up the pipe panels. I won't start him for another year though.

[Cassy's Mom]

Here's my baby's 2 year old photos. I'm so in love with him! He lunges both ways with a surcingle. He can still be a bit on the naughty side though :winkgrin:

This is my 2 year old Pikadero filly at Del Mar last week. The IHF regional was trial by fire for her - 3rd time ever at a show, nothing as big as the Del Mar show and she didn't put a foot wrong for the entire 6 days she was there.

He's been sat on a couple of times, no biggie. This horse hasn't so much as pinned an ear at ANYthing his entire life. Truly the perfect horse - he is healthy & hardy, affectionate, smart, 100% sensible and pretty darn nice to look at. :lol:

Here is one of our 2008's - Wolfgang WF
(Waldaire x Sabrina WF by South American Way xx/Abundance)

He's well over 16 hands (I'm in denial about how much over right now). :winkgrin: And for those who might remember - this is the little guy we almost that first winter. The wound has healed very nicely and he's 100% sound! :) Belated thanks for all the jingles and moral support! :yes: The roaning on his belly is getting 'brighter' and bigger each year and his belly spot is also increasing in diameter...hard to believe that one full brother & a full sister has a medium sized star and tiny coronet each. The other sister has a big(ger) star and 3 stockings but nothing like this fellow's chrome. :sigh:

[HSGF]

Thanks Tasker I managed to post 2 links to the pictures above.....:)

Wolfgang is lovely Tasker!

Izzy is about 16.2hh now and was born in May. She'll be lightly started early next year and then I will decided if she will have a foal before beginning a competition career.

[Toadie's mom]

I'm only posting for FHH :winkgrin::lol::lol:
Stellar is still fat, still small (14.2or 14.3) and I still haven't taken any pictures. I did longe her with a surcingle for the 1st time today! She bucked like a rodeo bronc about 5 strides both directions, then settled right down and trotted quietly. No problem putting it on, or taking it off.

I've had some health issues, so way behind on all the horses. :(

This is Katavi - 2008 mare by Cabardino and out of Leda (X Lacros). She has been backed in her stall and is working on the lunge a few times a week. She is a doll!

A little update on my April 2008 filly. She has been at the trainer for 2 weeks now and is doing phenomenal. She is by L'andiamo and out of a ZeusxVoltaire mare.

I have her at a cowboy trainer who is doing a FANTASTIC job with her. He said my filly is one of the quietest he's ever started...and to drive that point home...here she is........4 DAYS UNDER SADDLE.

Also please disregard her yak coat ;-)

Still have Eclipse. She spent 30 days away for initial training as a 2 year old and was turned back out (handled daily though) She now stands over 16 hands as a turning three year old.

Above is a video of her freejumping this winter, and below are a few photos.

[luvmydutch]

My baby is (almost ;-)) all grown up! She was out at the cowboy trainer for 6 weeks, and she has been home with me now for 2 weeks. We still have lots of baby melt downs, and the big tarp building near the arena is TOTALLY a horse eating monster...but I have her focused only on me for about 20 minutes a day...and those 20 minutes are about as close to heaven as I've ever been. This horse can MOVE. I'm so in love with my princess!

Can't wait for that one to arrive!!

I love my 3 year old. Next year I will start to show him a little in the baby green hunters. He loves to jump and is sooooo easy!!!

[eniskerry]

I've started my 2008 Lordship/Cacique gelding under saddle. He's been at my trainer's for about 2 months now but we're taking things pretty slowly as he's still growing and has his awkward "I can't coordinate my legs!" moments at the canter :) I've been thrilled with him though - super attitude about everything, great brain, and SO polite.

I free-jumped my 2008 Lordship/Cacique gelding the other day - only his 2nd time ever, and 1st time was over a year ago as a 2yo. I plan to keep him for myself for the dressage ring, but I like to free-jump them every now and then to mix it up and was curious to see how he did. We kept things small to start, but I was so happy with him - he was such a good boy, very calm and relaxed through the jumps but obviously enjoyed it because he definitely kicked up his heels afterward! And pretty cute form too! Pics and video at http://fridayschildfarm.com/Livewire.htm

[FLIPPED HER HALO]

I am finally updating.

Here are my 2 kids, taken on May 21st.

Shenanigans (http://i53.tinypic.com/2i0ydki.jpg) - Oldenburg gelding by Sempatico out of my TB mare. He has been under saddle for 6 weeks now. I haven't ever free jumped him yet, but have seen him jump a 5' gate to escape a box stall.

Gamblers Moon Dust (http://i54.tinypic.com/28whtv7.jpg)- filly, double registered APHA and AWS. Started training same as my gelding, and haven't free jumped either, but she's jumped the pasture fences.

I plan to event both of them, and will start them over fences next year when they turn 4.

Both live in pasture, and like to splash water out of the trough then roll in the mud it makes, so they are never totally clean.....

[Kerole]

FHH - your youngsters are going nicely! The Sempatico gelding is lovely.

If she makes elite she will represent 7th direct generation in her damline to do so. (her 1/2 sister Halleluja achieved this as well). Well.. if she doesn't make elite.. she is going to make one heck of a dressage horse. You would have thought she was showing her whole life. She just turned 3 years old in June 2 weeks before this video was done. Calm as a cucumber.

Finally got some new pictures of Stellar (Sempatico x Daneya xx). Since day one she had, and continues to have, THE best temperament of any baby I've raised. Because of a health problem I've had since last Sept. she's had very little handling. The day we took these pictures (last week of June) she hadn't been bathed, or clipped, since last summer:o. She acted like we do it every day :D. http://s267.photobucket.com/albums/ii295/learfan/?action=view&current=trot6-27-11.jpg

How rewarding to go from her first breath to this, I love it!



She looks fabulous!

This is Summerwood's Royal Blue (Sugarbrook Blue Pacific x Bendith Artemis (Cloe Olympian)). He was born June 27th, 2008 and is still intact. He will begin his under saddle training this week :).

My filly is 15.1H, turned 3 in May.

Mom is 16H, dad is 16.2H.

Not sure if she will grow enough to make the Dutch studbook.

She is stunning but petite.

Very cute!!

Went out yesterday to see what Bomber thought of free jumping... By George I think she likes it! (http://youtu.be/7wLQ1S2QhDA)

We kind of did a hurry up job - she literally only did 5 jumps. I didn't include the trot jump because it was blurry. It was hotter than Hades out and I really just wanted to get an idea of what she was going to jump like, so we just went up to about 2'6" with it quickly. I'm quite pleased!! :yes:

[ASBJumper]

So jealous of all of you who have nice round, filled out babies... *sigh* i have to keep reminding myself that lean is good and healthy for a 3 yr old.. i wish mine wasn't so ribby/lanky.. :(

That said, I am beyond thrilled with my baby boy's under saddle debut. He went to 2 back to back Dressage shows in June, on the 12th and the 18th, and came home with 2nds and 3rds and a Reserve Champion, with scores ranging from the low to mid-60's at Intro. He was a perfect gentleman, stood tied to the trailer before and after his classes, quietly munching hay. An absolute gem, didn't put a foot wrong the entire day. :winkgrin:

So jealous of all of you who have nice round, filled out babies... ! :D

be careful what you wish for..I got round and filled out WITH baby. Sigh. Last year she jumped the pasture fence. Into the stallion pasture. Vet checked not in foal. Twice. She is about 16H and jumps just fine (ha ha ha). I got the knocked up teenager.
Baby Not In Foal (aka Walter) born Saturday.....

prior to being obviously preggo she was tacked and longed and ready to back....but when she looked preggo in spite of what da vet said we stopped there. Teenaged momma is a Hanno/TB cross by Waldaire. Daddy is my Paint/TB cross stallion.

Here is video I took yesterday of my 2008 homebred--by Routinier out of my Art Deco mare. I sent her off to be backed April 1 and brought her home to our farm July 1. She's been fabulous to work with--I ride her about 3X a week--she loves the work! At this point she is just a little over 15.1

My sister also has a 2008 Routinier gelding--he is totally different in terms of body type, size, and personality, but he also loves to work and has been really easy to start.

[Tasker]

Here are our 2 fillies of 2008 -

Westerleigh WF has the front socks and is more compact model at just over 16.0 hands. She is by Waldaire out of a South American Way xx/Abundance daughter.

Dream Girl WF has the blaze, hind stocking and 2 socks. Daisy is about 16.2 and should finish under 17 hands (unlike her full siblings that are much taller models). She is also out of a South American Way xx/Abundance daughter but by Dressage Royal.

The 5th photo is of our Wolfgang WF. He is shipping to his fantastic new home later today! Ironically, he is also out of the 3rd SAW/Abundance daughter we kept and by Waldaire. 3 very different mares and the most similar at this age - Dream Girl & Wolfgang are out of the full sisters...ah genetics! :)

[Wits End Eventing]

We have two three year olds, and I can NOT wait for them to start competing next year!!! I am going to have to go AWOL from work to watch every competition. This will be our first crop! Finally ready to go!!!
Royal Alyance bred by Leslie Allen: Royal Appearance x My Martina was a premium baby and is going for his stallion testing with Bruce and Staci (http://www.griffinsporthorses.com/) next month.......:eek:
The African Queen: Formula One x Irish Lace (my beloved CCI** mare) is with Hillary Irwin (http://hillaryirwineventing.blogspot.com/) who is doing a stellar job of getting her well started.:yes:
Both the horses will be with Sharon White (http://www.lastfrontierfarm.com/) next year.:D

[Copilot]

I have to post an updated photo. My filly went in her first line show last weekend AND WON!!

This is Lilah (Capone I/Idocus):

[ASBJumper]

Congrats Copilot, what an awesome start!! :D

I have an update as well, my 3 yr old went to a Breeder's Show this weekend too. He didn't do well in the 3 yr old line class (he's out 24/7 and is lean/lanky, didn't stand a chance against all the huge, fattened up, spotless youngsters), but he redeemed himself big time when he took 2nd out of 4 in the CSHA Hunter Under Saddle w/t/c class (judge was Randy Roy!).
We even misjudged timing and had to tack him up lightning fast, and my catch rider, who had never sat on him before, did one circle of trot and then went into the ring and he was a total superstar.

Sooo proud!! :D

Such an exciting time!

[tidy rabbit]

Just had his shoes pulled off for the season. He'll be doing a little trail riding, and maybe some light dressage work over the winter.

This is him trotting last month. He's so much fun! (http://pets.webshots.com/photo/2192896940048495570PJgpLZ)

Here's my L'andiamo x Zeus mare ... our last ride before we hang it up for the winter. She will be off until March
