Mucking out tools... check He has his own horseball in the stable but yup. Water buckets... grabs heacollars... chases the dogs out of the field... oops!? Oh and regularly upends the water trough... and trashes electric fencing if its not switched on... takes his rug off before you can...

Asti went a very dark liver chestnut as a foal, nearly black, so yes, happens with solids too. He is getting a few more spots further up, so he won't turn out leopard like his Dad then? He has so many spots and freckles on his face he's almost chestnut! Asti was out of a chestnut mare, by...

His face is currently going darker again, every few months he looks different, its really interesting! I didn't breed for spots, but I knew a lady who owned an Appy stallion that was a good all rounder and that I was hearing really good things about, so I went to see him. He has BD points...

1. Not for sale, he is my little troll. 2. Not a 2010 baby 3. Isn't he a strange colour now??? chestnut with a white blanket at birth Then went liver chestnut at about 4 months, but still white blanket 6 months 8 months, going back chestnut 10 months - going roan Just over a year...

I'd agree with SN/ MFH Mine had suregrow, though he did get chaff, but the dry readigrass type, and speedi beet as he got older. The suregrow is great for not having to feed a lot but covering vits and mins. Mine was 2 this summer, and the grass has done him so well, he's had nothing...

I used Amigo's on mine at that age, the pony sizes are small enough up front so 3 or 6 inches at the back isn't a problem. Other than that, other makes and bigger sizes, you can get away with the 6" if you put a few stitches in the front and raise/tighten the shoulders then let the stitches...

Absolutely gorgeous, well done all! Oh and I had exactly the same, home bred mare sneaking out a spotty when my back was turned - early... Glad he's safe on the ground though!!

Yes, he's the daddy! He's been getting lighter with each coat shedding. I think, but as you know there are never any guarantees with this spotty horrors, he might go pretty much white all over with leopard spots, but not quite as many as his Dad, who is all mad freckles and spots at the front!

He is a real character, very naughty, he's bottom of the pecking order in the geldings field but still manages to get some flying back feet in when the big boys start. Mostly they play with him when they think no-one is looking. She did him really well and at weaning she'd lost a lot of...

He's maybe changed a bit since I've posted on here last... With Mum (usually in a different field as he is weaned properly!) Pink pony Tired out... (Mum is 15hh, he's not 2 until July as he was a late one, so we think he'll make 16hh... OMG!!! That was so not the plan!!

I rarely come on here any more but heard about poor you and Dolly, and had to come and say I'm thinking of you. I worried myself to bits breeding off Asti as she's a once in a lifetime mare for me and I bred her too, so it wasn't a light decision to take, but I know how gutted I'd be if I...

Baby Finn Yearling 18 months Dad is 16.1 British Appaloosa, Mum is 15hh 3/4TB. He's standing croup high, 15hh bum, 14.2 at the withers.

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I went to the office to look at the papers - most of them had a standard passport with no breeding info and had an irish issuing authority. The ones i looked at had all been issued within the last 6mo or so. Disappointing given the breeding involved. Assume buyers will...

Ah well, I guess we'll be waiting to see what happens in February! If they mention it again I'll tell them if they really think she's in foal they'd better get her scanned to make sure otherwise they may come down one morning to a dead filly and foal... because lets face it, at 12hh and very...
