:D hope you like :) x
 
Thanks :) his is quite a funny youngster - i def no that he's gonna love water - we found him the other day actually stood in the water bath haha and as we are filling it if we dont watch him he'll grab the hose pipe in his mouth and try running down the field with it haha xx
 
Well atm he's back being a baby but I've done a bit of inhand showing with him this year, but for the future he will be backed at 3 and then have the winter to be a baby again and rebacked at 4, hopefully to be a bit of a jumper as he loves it - he litterally jumps over the small ponies at the yard haha so i think he's gonna like that, and well would just like to try a bit of everything with him, he's a very willing yearling, not affraid of anything and so laid back, only thing he dunt like is the walkers that walk through his field haha he likes to chase them - its quite funny to watch them legging it down the field :D
 
Ha ha that's kids for you, chase the ramblers. My lad when he was growing up used to chase the yo dad when doing field waters.

He is lovely, growing into a super lad
 
Orrr bless him, he's going through that gangly stage, they they never look the best at this age and 2 year olds, then it all starts to come together again when they hit three but he's a nice compact little fella, he'll look a corka in a few years, specially with his intersting markings and colouring, he's got plenty of colour on him too, he'll be lovely!
 
He looks lovely, nice cheeky glint in his eye in one of the pictures. My friends mare had a thing about chasing too, but after chasing the cows (who shared her field after weaning) the farmer asked for her to be removed as his beef cattle weren't gaining weight due to the horse herding them around the field (whoops). He's gorgeous, I love his markings too :D
 
haha thanks everyone - he's coming on really well but yh he does keep going through the gangly stage n looks awful one week n then evens out another week. And as for the cheeky glint all i can say is YES haha x
