Baby Pixie Having Fun In The School(*Pics*) and a question about size!

[3Beasties]

Today we decided to set up a 'Handy Pony' Type course in the school. We had weaving in and out, a scary plastic sheet to walk over, a washing line to go under, a Zig Zag of poles to go through etc, etc.

Pixie was so brave, the only thing that worried her was the black jump block but she soon got over it. She went through/over all the scary things first time and was even giving a lead to the riding ponies. Nothing seemed to worry her.

At the end I loosed her off so she could have a roll, she went potty! She was galloping, bucking and F@rting round the school like a nutter having a great time

Cue me running to get the camera from the car by which time she had calmed down slightly, obviously not wanting me to get any exciting pictures

Here are a few of what I got

The 'Scary' Black block

The Little Minx is going through an 'Is this edible?' stage so she tried....

The gate

The cone

and the 'Scary' black block

As well as me a few times

Sorry they are not very exciting!

And my question - I read on here the other day about how you can measure part of a foals leg to get a rough idea how big they will be. I can't find the post anywhere now!

It was something about measuring from the knee to the hoof but I'm not sure which part of the hoof or which part of the knee

Anyone know the correct way to measure?

No idea on the measuring idea, but she looks so amazing now, she has really grown up. You should be proud of the way she looks!

Middle of the knee to the coronet band and whatever it is in inches they will be in hands don't know how accurate it is

That's my favourite one as well

Before I managed to grab my camera she was picking the whips up out of the cones and waving them about and also stole the side reins that we store in the school and was cantering around with them

that's not the height method I know. Measure from elbow to fetlock & measure the same distance from elbow up to see where their adult withers will be.

Looks like she's having fun!

That's the other way I had heard off but had never understood how to do it properly, the pictures are a great help, Thanks
