Before and After

[Fahrenheit]

I think my baby dressage stallion is coming on really well and I am chuffed to pieces with him, I thought I would do a little before and after of his progress in the last couple of months. Can you see the change??

June 2007

Today

and a ikle baby piccy just to make you go aaaaaaahhhh!!

 

[S_N]

Yeah, he's plated and the rider (mat_b??) has a hat on??

LOL - yes, much more through and using himself, yet soft, happy and relaxed. How old is he again?

 

[Fahrenheit]

LOL - Do you mean plaited SN?? Yes the pic was taken warming up at his first ever show today! He is 4 years old and the full brother to Carthorse's 5yo Rafi.

 

[magic104]

Yep, sorry I was going to mention the hat as well..He looks stunning HG (the horse not Matt), you must be very proud.

 

[Fahrenheit]

Thanks Magic! He's my little Teddy Bear (ahem thats the horse i'm talking about as well..........lol)

 

[magic104]

Ooh neither look very teddy bearish, too professional looking, nothing woolly about either of them.

 

[the watcher]

He really is coming along very well

 

[Fahrenheit]

Thank watcher, he has grown a little too since you came down to look at him!

 

[mat]

Aww bless ickle foal teddy! He was adorable!!!!

 

[Bananaman]

WOW!

What a difference......in HOW long?

 

[StaceyTanglewood]

He is gorgeous !! congratulations

 

[Imonone]

Gosh he looks super!! and like he has suddenly grown up in a very short time.

Look forward to hearing more about his future progress.

 

[Anastasia]

CONGRATULATIONS..................well done Mat for an excellent job!

 

[htobago]

Gosh HG he looks super! And yes, big improvement!

May I ask how big he is?

And also how tall Mat is? (I may be sending him a rather small horse to train!

)

 

[mat]

he is 15.2! (and I am 5'7/5'8)

 

[Fahrenheit]

Bananaman - Mat got him in May, the first pics were taken early June and the other yesterday and remember Mat had a broken arm plated and pinned in that time too................

HT - He's 15.2 at the front but his bum has definitely shot up a little recently!

 

[MillionDollar]

I really like him! He looks so fab.....and stunning

(the horse BTW, lol)

 

[Law]

He's absolutely lovely. Such a nice boy.
*whispers* I came and saw Mat schooling him the other week and he was such a good boy. I like him lots!!

I hope Mat let you have Teddy cuddles too, the horse really is named very well, he loves his cuddles and fusses!

 

[Law]

He kept all the Teddy cuddles for himself

I got scratches over the stable door

He is so sweet and lovely (Sorry to go on!)

 

[Fahrenheit]

Did you at least get to see him playing with his Jolly Ball, he really is very funny with it.................he waggles it around, bounces it and then lobs it out the window for Mat to go and retrieve from the nettles behind the stable block!

I haven't got tired of watching him do it

 

[Law]

Another delight I was denied!

That I have to see!!

 

[Fahrenheit]

It really is quite funny to watch, the horse is a goof in the stable................ I am not so saw that Mat and AP find it as entertaining as I do though!

Thanks Mat! AP said he thought you were about this height, but he wasn't completely sure so I just wanted to check.

I've been feeling a bit bad that we're imposing me and my Arab on you without consulting you, but AP assures me you would be OK with this...?

I'm hoping to come and visit you and AP after I get back from hols, if that's all right with you?

P.S. My boy is about 15.1 - should make 15.2 or so at maturity.

Sorry to hi-jack the thread!

[Fahrenheit]
