2007 foals?

[dilligaff2]

Forgive me if there was a 2007 thread but my search is coming up empty.

How are everyone's babes doing? Are they at a gangly/no neck stage :lol: or you fortunate enough to have a day (when you have a camera) in hand where they are beginning to look like your dreams?

Post them here and give us an update. :)

I'll start with Kali --show name Kalos Selene (ex Hanna Montana).

She is my 2007 BWP filly by Cielo B out of a BWP approved TB mare Redoy Like Gal xx. She is just a hair under 16hh and a total pocket pony. She has begun her groundwork and is behaving a Supahstar! She is braver than our 13 yr old pony and routinely leads him past the 'SCARY' stuff like goats, flapping flags, puddles and killer tractors.

She is really beginning to fill out these past two months and her neck has recently been spotted. It was actually found right where it should be--above her withers and below her head. I don't know where it was hiding last month. :confused:

I dont THINK there was a 2007 thread! :) I know there was a 2008 and 2009 and one for 3 and 5 year olds as well, but the 2007's seem to have been missed for some reason ... ;)

Here is my lone remaining 2007 colt - Remember My Name, by Guaranteed Gold out of Puchi Trap - one of 5 full siblings:

Shown in January/February 2009 at a year and a half old:

[BeastieSlave]

Lovely!

My Bubble Boy is finally filling out and starting to look more grown up.
He still looks immature to me in many ways (especially when compared to your babies), but he developed a massive chest almost overnight and his boney baby butt is filling out. I'd still like a few more inches of neck, but it's filling in nicely too. He's the tallest horse at the farm now - standing about 16.3+hh. I found myself wondering exactly what his latest growth spurt meant ('spurt' doesn't seem like the right word - he's been a slow & steady grower), so I got out the measuring tape. He's right between 84"-85" :eek: I measured a few times to be sure. I'm really looking forward to blanket shopping this fall, NOT!

I took a couple pictures of him a few weeks ago. My computer is resisting me right now, but I'll try to put them up later.

[acottongim]

My 2007 has been blessed with not too bad of the fuglies ever in her life. Same thing happened with her half brother and is happening with her full brother so mom must put some good genes into the mix. :lol:

Emma's page is here: http://www.emeraldacrestk.com/emma%202.htm

Most recent photo of her at a show at the beginning of this month:

[Blacktree]

Here's our 2007 guy (Yeager GF/Weltstern/Viking Song) - he is getting handsomer everyday. And he's starting to get wider and fit into his head at last! We took him to a show last week, to hang out and get used to the atmosphere, and he was great. I am sooo excited that we are keeping him!

The first few pics of him moving are from last week:

[foxhavenfarm]

We only had one foal in 2007. She was born 35 days early and nearly didn't make it. Not surprisingly, she is very small - probably won't top 14.2. She is a cutie though and about as roan as you can get in a Thoroughbred (although you can't tell in her winter woolies). :winkgrin:

[Tackpud]

My July 4, 2007 filly (by Paparazzo, out of an All The Gold mare) is continuing to grow and fill out. I'm thrilled with her personality - she's a love considering what she's been through recently. Puncture wound turned into septic fetlock joint (surgically cleaned), turned into serious colic while still at the vet school and almost went into surgery again. She's finally back at home on stall rest and meds every 6 hours - so I'm a little exhausted right now!:lol:

She's a beautiful palomino with white mane and tail - and lots of mane and tail! About 15.3 right now - hoping she'll end up around 16.1. Can't post pictures...

[clint]

I have a 2007 AHS filly by Lord Albert (Londonderry x Brentano II) out of my Kalypso/Diamont daughter. She is about 16 hh now, and I'm thinking she is quite spiffy this summer.

Look at all the lovely babes!

Foxhaven, your little girl is super sweet. Maybe you will get lucky and have an exceptional Large. :)

[Jesse'sMom]

This is my 2007 I purchased. He has been under wraps because he is freakishly *huge* currently 17.1
His name is Reignman by Royal Appearance.
http://www.irishhillsfarm.com/reignman.html

This is Zahnya a 2007 I bred by Glorioso Noir out of a Trakehner mare
photo from Feb. 2009 at a show, so she was like 19 months. she is about 15.2-15.3 right now.
http://www.irishhillsfarm.com/zahnya.html

This below is my sweetheart.. this is Pik Prinz (aka Rockstar) these were just taken 2 days ago. the girl on him is a rider who isstaying with us for 3 weeks from Germany. Rocky is 16.2 maybe bigger. I haven't sticked him since he was gelded & he definitely has grown.

[MsRidiculous]

Mine's still leggy, narrow, and gangly. Every once in a while she starts looking normal, then her butt shoots up an inch or two, the topline disappears, out comes the potbelly, and there we go again. She's always been a gorgeous mover though, and if anything is getting even better with age. She's also starting to grow into that head of hers finally. Now she's about 15.3 (she's a May baby). Her dam was 16h and her sire Westporte is 16.3h so she seems like she'll end up in the middle. I'm getting the feeling like she won't really be filled out and pretty until she's 4-5 though.

These are from her 2nd birthday, the first time she wore a saddle

[Equine Reproduction]

Here's our 2007 gelding. He's by Sempatico and out of Faberge'/Frohwind. You can see video footage of him here: http://www.motionbox.com/videos/7a9adab71412e7c0f5

[old_grey_mare]

Has everyone been breeding and raising babies forever? Is there any "bible" that you could recommend for someone without experience raising a foal? Any words of advice? I'm considering buying a colt.

Love to hear your .02

[Dressage-ryder]

Our 2007 filly just returned to us.. She sold at 6 weeks old but her owner has fallen on hard times and we are going to help get her sold. The filly is the SWEETEST horse ever. She is totally bombproof and always has been. She is truly a treat to have at the farm.


Here is a pic http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r2/Dressage-ryder/Tika2.jpg


She is By Fabuleux out of the dutch mare Loch Ness.

[Lyss]

My 2007 filly was the "oops" filly - vet switched straws at insemination and wasnt till after inspection we knew! But she is the most fortunate mistake! "Lucy" is by Rosario out of my Trakehner/Arab mare. Just a golden temperament from the day she was foaled and showing much promise. She recently did her first in hand show and treated the whole event as if she had done it 100 times already, interested in what was going on, but calm and cool about everything (her dam though is much the same way). I just started playing with her with wearing a surcingle/saddle -all accepted with her calm "what else can we do" attitude - just absolutely love her temperament!

Here's a video clip of her as a yearling :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDq2BiJPh0I

And a couple more recent photos as she was being schooled for her in hand debut:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/avondayfarm/3495210057/in/set-72157600641234290/

She has that wise old soul expression:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/avondayfarm/3495213717/in/set-72157600641234290/

She's just been a joy!

[railmom]

Last month I went and watched my 2007 filly Ragon (by Rascalino out of Bel Etrice/Baryshnikov), win her 2 year old filly, Hanoverian and Grand Champion young filly classes :) I am so very proud of her and her owner! I am headed up to Dressage by the Bay this weekend to watch her there. Maybe this time I will remember my CAMERA!!

[Bravestrom]

Our 2 yr old Swedish Warmblood Cross CSHA colt is 17.2hh - He lunges with tack and has started longlining. I usually do a 10-15 minute lunge once a week. He gets clipped and his feet done regularly. He pastures with my gelding.

After a work out I always take him for a walk around the property.

He has learned to breed - we have a very experienced broodmare that accepted him readily and is now in foal to him.

He will do two breed shows this year as well as the Royal Winter Fair.

Here is a pic from a recent walkabout. He is quite muscular but has not grown into his head/neck yet.

[Sassenach]

Our 2007 colt has been sold and is starting work under saddle and doing really well.

My 2007 filly (my orphan) is still looking a bit gawky/immature but I'm very happy with her. Can't beat her temperament and no-nonsense been-there-done-that attitude. Getting her ready for her big show debut at the Midwest Connemara Pony Show :D I'm on pins and needles and probably going to be very emotional showing my baby girl.

Can't get pictures of her for the life of me. She's a velcro-pony and is the first to greet you in the pasture. :)

[Daydream Believer]

Here are three of our 2007 fillies left here on the farm. All others were sold...and actually Painted Lilly is not mine any longer but is boarded here. These pics were taken in May.

Wow, so many gorgeous 2 year olds - and some are just huge !!!

My 2 year old Regulus/Linear Lane XX gelding is so ugly, that I simply refuse to take pictures of him ..............................and he was such a stunning foal ! Well, hopefully he will be one of those 3 hours, 3 days, 3 months and 3 year kind of horse - please, please, please !

[Edgewood]

Here's one of mine who showed this spring in hunter breeding

I remember your oops and thinking that that might be a very happy mistake! :yes: Obviously, the breeding gods were watching over you. She is lovely and the R-line temperament is so wonderful. Congrats! :D:D:D:D:D

Thank you Home Again - the breeding gods were indeed very kind to me. Lucy is a wonderful example of getting what you wanted when you didn't even know you ordered it lol!

Intentional or not, it is inspiring to see the quality of offspring people are sharing. Look forward to the next couple of years and seeing the potential of these youngsters unfold.

[Astraled]

I'm only willing to post a headshot of mine: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y181/astraled/Dudley.jpg

I'm trying to bulk him up for the jackpot class at SHN in September but he's just using all his food to grow taller :sigh:.

So many of you all's babies look so mature. I don't know whether to be inspired or depressed :winkgrin:.

Lyss- what a beautiful 'oops!', I love your filly. :)

No worries - I feel that way about one of our yearlings right now (and he was the fanciest of all of our babies so far as a weanling)! They all 'bloom' at different times... I keep trying to get him to gain some weight, and he just gets taller and taller. :lol: Our other yearling (a filly) looks really good at the moment, but the colt may have to stay hidden for a while until he grows into himself, lol.

[desilu]

Here is my 2 year old Espionage (Sammy). He is by Escapade and out of my appendix QH mare Lily. He was 2 in April and these were taken 2 or 3 weeks ago. He is not really as big as the picture makes him appear. He was almost 15'2 when I last measured him a couple months ago and I expect him to finish at 15'3 to 16H.

[camohn]

I have not taken any updated pics lately.....I do need to. Junior (reg APHA name White Tie Affair: Wild By Design x Whiz Chick) is around 15.2H and expected to mature at 16.1 to 16.2H. He has been one of the few to NOT go through any real ugly stages (at least not if viewed from the side!). From the side he looks good. His only issue is if you look at him from the FRONT! Then there is no chest yet and he looks very narrow. I have to have time to give him a bath before I take pics though as he is all white. A brown horse ya can just dust the dirt off! I am not out of the woods yet on the uglies though. His sire's worst growth spurt uglies came at 3..........

[dilligaff2]

Wow! Some nice babies out there. :yes:

As for those in the gawky stage--you know they are going to grow into those heads/legs/shoulders/ears. :winkgrin:

[miraclewelsh]

I thought I'd pass along a photo of our two year old Sec. A Welsh filly, Miracle Lady Fiona, standing on the hill in our yard. She's a robust filly and belongs to my middle daughter who think the sun rises and sets with Fiona. The photo can be seen at the top of this page:

[flyinghorse]

Here's my 2007 Liberty Gold x Donnerschall/Wilhelm Tell II Filly today (takenwith my cell phone & no help...) I have been hiding her behind the barn. She is 16-16.1H and gauky as can be!

Although, she is looking a bit chunky, now, with the grass we have coming up after all the rain we have finally gotten after 4 years of drought!

He has the best disposition which really helps me overlook his gawkiness!!

There are some really nice looking 2 year olds on this thread!!

[TKR]

My two year olds are not cut from the same cloth at all, LOL. The TK/TB filly (by Oskar) is beautiful, has been since her dam spit her out. She is really filled out through her body -- very deep and also very leggy, beautiful head and very serene expression. She is a light, balanced mover. The GOV/TB gelding (by Corlando) is steadily maturing and evening out. He is more substantial but not heavy, very striking and handsome. He has always been a scopey, rhythmic mover, big pretty eyes! I don't know sizes, misplaced my stick -- but both are over my head, LOL. I'll try to get some new pictures when I have some help. Congrats to all and their beautiful 2 y.o's -- it's a real journey getting them this far safely!

[Fred]

I have just one, barn name Handsome aka Marquee Romance, by A Fine Romance out of Jeweller's Mark, by Hallmark. I don't have any updated pictures, just some of him as a yearling, but he too never went through the yak phase. He is big and handsome,
very beautiful head, leggy and powerful, substantial yet elegant and refined.
I am hoping to get him out to some shows this summer, and take him to the Royal Winter Fair in November.
I do have a couple of pics taken when he was a yearling, just out in the paddock, and perhaps I can ask someone to post them for me.

As TKR said, congrats to everyone on their lovely 2yr olds!

[DMK]

my guy (tb, by lido palace out of a cox's ridge mare) is enjoying an unplanned semi-vacation these days. i planned on backing him in august, instead i tried to cut off my right thumb, so not a lot of riding for me for the next 3-4 months :no: but i have perfected the art of 1 handed lunging and he trained himself to go through the jump chute, so i guess i'll dabble in that for a while. he's such a good dude though, nothing fazes him. and he has an amazing trot - until you see his canter, then you realize his trot isn't special in comparison! when i first saw him canter as a yearling, i said "holy crap, i can see the distance to the first fence and its years away!"

[Bravestrom]

This is our CSHA swedish wb/draft cross (commercial cross - clyde/hackneyhorse- out of a Shady Maple Mare) stud colt

We were at a breed show on the weekend - he is definitely not your a-typical hunter type sport horse - plus as a 17.2hh 2 yr old he kind of towered over everyone else - he was pretty good considering it was his first time off the property since november and as a stud colt he had to show with mares and there were a lot of mares on property. As well as some serious flies and temperatures of 40 degrees with the humidex.


Enjoy the pics.

I think mine is finally starting to emerge from the Uglies. Of course, now she's sunbleached all to heck, but at least we're resembling a horse more than a moose.

Lovely babies everyone! My 07 filly is being hidden behind the barn for good reason. Let's just say she's less than attractive right now. :eek: She's just shy of 16h.

[jumpergirl853]

Here is my girl. She is just a tad under 16hh and i am hoping she will finish around 16.2hh. I have had her for a year now and she hasn't gone through an ugly stage yet, just a tad gawky and thin.
She is so brave. I arrived at the barn today to her standing on top of a tarp out in her turnout. How that got there, I have no idea. But better she try to smush it than run from it I suppose!
She is also a fabulous mover and will hopefully be a wonderful hunter. I am so excited to back her next summer!

Took a couple of "au natural" pics of my 2yr old Sagnol filly. She was 2yrs old in June and currently stands 16.2+HH. She is out of my former dressage mare Vanity (Vulcaan/Marcellini xx). I am thrilled with her as she is a clone of her mom who I made the hard decision to sell when I got pregnant with my first. Here is to hoping for more time in the future and my next dressage girl!

Carrera is by Florencio and out of a Jazz mare, and is the half sister (same dam) to Waterloo SE (007 x Jazz), also shown below. Carrera is going to be started at Hilltop next spring; we are very excited about that.

I went out and took a few candid shots of my 2007 Contucci filly this AM. Here she is

She's a very friendly filly and most pictures ended up of her nose :yes:

This is our '07 baby. He's out of a 17hh Dutch/TB mare by a Trak Stallion. We didn't mean to own him but when we bought another really really nice prospect that decided he wanted to be dressage only, an opportunity to sell him came up that included this guy. He's ~16hh now but unlike many of these others, he looks like a big yearling, so we suspect he's got a lot more growing up to do.

~3 days old, he was something like 11.2hh tall. I took the pic, not realizing he'd be ours a year later.

(1 year old pic omitted b/c he was sooo hideous)

2 weeks ago at an open show for some experience, I'm 6'2.

Saturday, practicing in hand (doesn't look like the same horse does it?)
http://pets.webshots.com/photo/2633750800058017139HLrDdA?vhost=pets

He's ready for a job mentally and enjoys working but we're waiting till later next year to back him. He lunges, loads, bathes, farrier and can saddle him and we just started bridle work over the weekend.

Little sucker is so balanced for his age. He does this soft canter with flying lead changes and it's disgusting. He can canter in hand at the same speed we trot, lol

p.s. There are some NICE looking babies in this thread!

[notforyouorme]

I think these links will work-they are supposed to!

Here is my baby a month or two ago: May 1, 2007 by Indoctro out of Pacific Dawn (West)

That last pic is simply wonderful. Needs framing! :yes:

[Royal Monaco]

Here is my 2007 Beaulieu's Conquest filly out of a Accord II mare. Her name is Costa Rica. She is still at the breeder's farm, living outside with her friends. I can't wait to bring her home October 1st.

Here she is:

I hadn't seen some of these yet. There are some real head-turners for sure!

I had a few minutes last weekend and shot some video of Kali playing around. (She is a BWP Filly by Cielo B) She is in another growth spurt and makes me laugh when I see her. It was taken with our little digital camera so the quality isn't the best but here is is :

[pony grandma]

You'all have some serious head turners here! Congrats for breeding and raising them right! It is a reward like no other.

Here's my 2 yr old Balta'Czar filly. TA DA! http://s272.photobucket.com/albums/jj186/JMAM_photos/?action=view&current=100_3108.jpg

She finally grew into her balance. :) Breeders deserve a reward just for their patience!! Why we love sharing the 2 yr old pictures so much!!

[camohn]

Okie dokie....earlier I posted I would get pics when the white horse was actually CLEAN! Since he went to his first show this weekend AND the hubby went with me AND I actually remembered to take the camera he did get a few pics of the clean critter....APHA White Tie Affair aka Junior
http://s82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/camohn03/?action=view&current=008.jpg

http://s82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/camohn03/?action=view&current=005.jpg

It was his first trailer ride and first show....he was a squirmy worm trying to get him to stand up for the judges and he was tense/nervous at his walk trot.....but he didn't misbehave either so all in all it was a successful day for his first field trip.
He is 15.3H/expected to mature to 16.2H and not as mature looking as some of the other 2 YOs.....mine still looks like a baby. That was one of the judges comments from this weekend...immature looking for age....but hey. Nothing to do about that but time. I owned his sire who was a very "late bloomer" and daddy's worst growth spurt uglies came at 3....so something to look forward to (ha ha ha). He was not so fond of his braids and doing his best to rub them out at the trailer........I was just happy they (sorta) survived long enough to get in the ring.

[dilligaff2]

Well, I must say you deserve the Bather of the Year award! Our FB Grey gives me no end of grief but at least until this year he had black hocks and knees to cover the worst of it.

Cute babies all!

[camohn]

He is not kept white...so it took 2 baths with blueing shampoo to get MOST of the stains out. He was still "not QUITE white...." but at least he was close!! The ankles where he stands in the muddy creek bank were the worst.......

[dilligaff2]

Time for updates all! Nearly a year has passed since this thread started so I am sure there have been some changes. :lol:

Our 2007 Cielo B filly has begun under saddle with an amazing trainer up here. This trainer has given not only our filly a great start but has also spent 2 different weeks with our 13 yr old daughter in tow as a working student to ensure that she has the best possible start.

This week was to be Kali's final week with the trainer and the opportunity presented itself to take her and my daughter to a schooling show for the experience. The plan was to do whatever they were comfortable with, even if it was only grazing on the sidelines. In the end, they went into the beginner horse flat division in W/T and W/T/C.

There were no ribbons (expecially considering they were riding in Dressage tack at a Hunter show :lol:) but there were smiles all round.

[can't re-]

Wow = that must be one quiet two year old!

[dilligaff2]

Wow = that must be one quiet two year old!



LOL! She is coming 3 1/2! She was born in the warmth of Texas where they don't need to worry about -40deg temps. :)

Very nice filly BTW

[can't re-]

I can't do math today! :lol: !
They look great.

[desilu]

Here is a picture of Sammy taken yesterday. He turned 3 the first of April and he has been backed and we are bringing him along slowly. He is by Escapade and out of my Appendix QH mare.

WOW!

I really like him. How has his training been going?

Our "baby" is 16ish hands and has been under saddle LIGHTLY (ridden once every 3-4 weeks) since October. He's got a great head on his shoulders and if he wasn't this good, we wouldn't be able to have started him like we have.

We started hauling him to schooling shows when he was 1 1/2 and he's been EASY. I know it sounds odd to not ride more regularly than that but he looks like a big yearling still, but he will be three in a couple of days. We're going to start doing more with him soon and if the next two-three weeks go well, he'll go do a w/t dressage test at Poplar later this month.

First time under saddle away from home, he did it like an old pro!:

Here is a link to a photo of one of my '07 babies. This one is Capstone TKR, by Corlando out of Daring Misdemeanor. Misdemeanor is a 3rd generation Thoroughbred which I bred for sport and a Main Studbook GOV mare, all Premium foals. Capstone is now doing groundwork under saddle and hopefully, I can find the time to start getting on and get him going. He's too big for me, but has become a really nice one. I also have an '07 Trakehner filly by Oskar II. I'll have to get a good picture of her, too.

Here's my 07 Westporte filly on a trail ride a couple weeks ago. It was her first real off the property test since coming back from the trainer and she was fabulous (even in the face of cows, deer, and wild hogs). Hopefully before the summer is out we'll get to a horse show. She's 16.1 now but still really leggy looking and growthy.

she's the one on the far right here that looks terribly bored ;)

Heres my 2007 filly. She is an Irish Draught. She is around 15'2 or 3.

My 2007 filly by Cabalito out of a TB/Holst hunter mare is doing FAB!!!! She went to the trainer in April and once she settled in to "school" she has been great. Seems to really enjoy "work". That term is used very loosely, LOL!!

She goes W-T-C under saddle and is very quiet and brave. Has been on 2 outings, a trail ride at an area lake and a local farm's schooling day where she was super!

I am so proud of my baby girl!

[dilligaff2]

WOW!

They are all growing up into riding heese. :)

Leslie, I used to have an Irish SH gelding that has the same face and expression. Isn't it funny how those traits follow some bloodlines.

[TWFarm]

My three year old by DeLaurentis is in foal to Sir Gregory. She was started undersaddle last February with time off to get bred and is back in work in prep for the GOV MPT in July. She's been doing very well and will start freejumping today. Looking forward to seeing how she does with that today, as I think she is very athletic. I'll try to post pics when I go to see her next week.

Here is my 3 yr old Rampal Gelding started in March. He is WTC, skips over tiny cross rails, trail rides, been to a clinic and has hung out at some horse shows. Fabulous mind.

He is 16 hands.

Finally made the trip to TX to visit my baby girl at school! Anne Hedge at Whitehedge Farm has done a wonderful job with her!!!!

My first ride...http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2807158560101086842SgRuYn?vhost=good-times

Walk - Trot - Canter, 60 days under saddle
Still very gangly and a bit lazy in the heat but I am SUPER PROUD of my girl!

Leslie - that ID has a gorgeous topline. Such a nice example of the breed.

[Slewdledo]

Here is my 3YO TB filly pictured last month. The goal in breeding her was to get a racehorse. HAHAHAHAHA. :no: hHad everything go wrong with that. She was a mess as a baby up till about 18 months old.

She now gives pony rides to little kids and I (a huge chicken when it comes to riding) can ride her bareback in a halter.

I don't have any current pics. Junior (White Tie Affair: APHA stud colt) is 15.3H/should mature at 16.1 or 16.2H.He is going walk/trot under saddle and just started trotting cavaletti. No canter yet. He is getting a butt, the neck is better than last year (was ewe necked at 2) and still narrow in the chest and all leggy looking. He talks to the girls in the next field on occasion but all in all he has done *very* well with not getting too distracted by the chicks during work time though he can see them.

[Erin Pittman]

Siesta (by Hadrian, out of my 15.1 H TrakX mare, Seville) is a whopping 16.3 and the ham of the farm. He keeps mysteriously getting out of his field (I suspect by jumping out because he's always alone and we can't find any holes in the fence) - he's a piece of cake to catch even then, no carrots or other enticement needed. We'll be bringing him down to the barn for backing this week - I can't WAIT! Hopefully, he'll be as easy-going to ride as he is to handle. I don't have any current pics of him, but here's my favorite from last year where you can see his personality:

[wlrottge]

I hate to even post this b/c he's still so green and barely been worked under saddle (~12 rides?)

He just turned 3, about four days ago, so we're going to start a little more regular stuff. Nothing tough, just 15 minutes 2-3 days per week.

[notforyouorme]

Here's my Indoctro 3-year old. He's super quiet, been ridden 20ish times, w/t/c, trail rides, and hacked around at a little show. Crossing my fingers for 2 more inches (he's 16 1/2), but at least I know if they Young Jumpers/A/O route doesn't work out, he can go to the hunter ring!

Our Dressage Royal 3 year old w/ 5 rides under his belt from earlier today at the trainers. He stands right around 17 hands (haven't put a stick on him lately) and has been away from home for 6 days...so excited for the future with this fellow!!! :)

[RockingN]

My sempatico gelding goes w/t/c and has been to a little show and is quite the trail champ. We are going to do Dressage Intro in the fall i believe. He's such a good boy. Here are some fun pics of his journey.

This is at a small show, during a break.

The 07 gelding I've worked with since he was a baby is now undersaddle walk/trot/canter. His temperment undersaddle is awesome, I can't get over how willing he is to do things. The video isn't the greatest, & it's my 2nd time riding him, & 1st timer cantering him(Not use to cantering a young horse!! Have to remember to help!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZi-D_d6pFM (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZi-D_d6pFM)

Here is our dual registered APHA and JC filly by CSpotGo, Silligrin. She has been wonderful to start and is as sweet as can be. I just love her. Her mom is one of my favorite broodmares, Nashua Red.

Don't you just love it when a plan comes together:)

Heres a recent video of her undersaddle.

I just got a new one of my Westporte filly today. She's managed to get out of working this summer by trying to destroy her hock (and with it my sanity), but her rest time is almost over.

Here is a video of our 3-year-old gelding, Cordeiro, at the 2010 Eastern Canadian Free Jumping Competition, where he won the 3-year-old class. Cordeiro is by the Canadian Warmblood stallion VDL Ulando (Corland x Ahorn) and is out of our Voltaire x Nurzeus mare.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbRy8Ok1SAA

Cordeiro had an unusual start in life. He was a dummy foal at birth, and spent his first 10 days of life in critical care at the University of Guelph large animal clinic in Ontario. We were given a 30% chance that he would survive, but as you can see, he made it!!! He's nearly 17 hh now, and is a cheeky monkey, spending his days roughhousing with his older full brother, Bovaire, who, when he was a 3-year-old, was Champion of the 2009 Eastern Canadian Free Jumping Competition.

[imajacres]

Lovebug is at charm school. He hasnt been off the property before, so this seemed like a good time. He is learning to be civil, and ground drive, and lunge a bit. Then he will come home, get thrown out again, and in the winter I will start him for real. He is still too big and gawky to be really ridden, and his tiny baby brain still needs time to mature. He thinks he is in grad school right now. He loves freejumping, and is super at it, so that part is easy. He may go out next year to a free jump competition.

[Erin Pittman]

Yay! I finally get to post a picture. Today Siesta had his first "lesson in being a big horse" in the indoor. He just got longed and led around and then put in the wash stall (where he was very suspicious of the hose and nozzle). He's a bit on the lazy side, but seems to pick up on things - but maybe it was the heat (near 100 today - ugh!). Sigh....
