Boggle- USA bound!

[palo1]

He’s bang on between 15hh and 15.1hh, but he doesn’t really have a wither it’s kinda odd! I don’t think he’s shorter than bog was at 5. He’s just a LOT more compact.

He absolutely will change and look very different in a year. At 3 he really is not fully developed. But he is very smart At rising 3 Alw, my Welsh D was only just about 15hh. At 6 she was a strong 15.3! Have you done a string test? His legs are long, he's bum high so indications are very strong that he will stretch: you will be able to saddle him .

 

[BackintheSaddle1983]

He is cute. I would call him Brick or Flame.

 

[JenJ]

I must admit that I wasn't that keen on him from the older photos you posted, but having seen today's... oh YES!

 

[CanteringCarrot]

You could be very original and call him "Red" or "Cherry"

I don't like Phoenix, but that's a weird me thing. I just don't like that word. It's done nothing wrong, but my brain remains offended by it.

The right name will come.

 

[EventingMum]

Delighted he's arrived safely. I think he'll grow into himself a lot and be even more striking. I'm not going to suggest a name as think it's a really personal thing and you'll be the one shouting it across a field.

 

[myheartinahoofbeat]

Nice, curious to know what his breeding is.

He’s a Knabstrupper

 

[DressageCob]

On the hawk theme, what about Chesney?

He could be Harris, like a Harris Hawk. There's also a Cooper's hawk, so Cooper.

Or for other red birds, what about Cardinal? Cardy for short (or even Cardi B )

 

[clinkerbuilt]

left field and unthematic, I know, but to me he looks like a D'artagnan to Bog's Aramis.

 

[myheartinahoofbeat]

Staying on the birds of prey theme,what about Kite? Red kites are so beautiful and colour appropriate

 

[Michen]

Bog says come here you little s*** and pony says I’m just a babbyyyyy. Bog is so annoyed he’s not next to the pony he’s banging the gate down

Anyway this pony is confident for sure, not a nervous wreck!

Guys when does a recently gelded horse stop getting his thing out? Helo is so good he’s already gently told him to pipe down.

 

[Ahrena]

I don’t know, my boys were cut well over a year ago and still get hard ones when I groom them enthusiastically

 

[DizzyDoughnut]

Two of mine were gelded as yearlings, ones now 5 and the other is 3 and they often walk round with theirs hanging out multiple times a day any excuse and they get it out. One had a problem with his sheath and the vet was doubtful when I said he wouldn't need sedating for him to have a good look, and was amazed when he bravely took my word for it and started rummaging around up there and the pony just helpfully lifted his leg up and out to provide better access

 

[SEL]

4 years ago and he still waves it around!!!

Lovely to see your newbie settling in.

 

[Michen]

Omg I did NOT intend for this to happen, I let Bog out and didn’t realise I hadn’t put the chain properly through ponies gate and he pushed it open. Tried to headlock Bog to grab him and put him back in but no.

However..WTF? Bog sniffed his bits he sniffed bogs there was one squeal and now they are seemingly best buds…

Except I’m fairly sure Bog is encouraging him to get zapped on the fence here.

 

[Tarragon]

I love that arching neck in the first photo!

 

[BallyRoanBaubles]

That's great! He doesn't look that small next to bog

 

[Honey08]

He doesn’t look much smaller than Bog, and he’ll be fabulous when he’s grown up a bit.

What about pumpkin? Seeing as it’s almost that time of year!

 

[CanteringCarrot]

Honestly, I figured they would find a way in with each other at some point

 

[AandK]

Those two faces!!! Super cute, new boy will mature into a cracker, no doubt.

 

[2ndtimearound]

See, even Bog knows it was meant to be! How fabulous, though. They look great together.

 

[splashgirl45]

They look good together , long may it continue . Name needed now we can’t keep calling him the Red Boy, although I quite like that

 

[Peglo]

Are you sure you left it open and Bog hadn’t unchained it when you weren't looking? Maybe used his powers and undid it from his stable so he could get his own way, as always.

Glad they’re getting on. From seeing pictures of younger Bog and the boys together now I don’t think you’ll need to worry about his size. (My uneducated opinion though )
Also what a glow up Bog had. It surprises me every time.

 

[Kkst14]

Gorgeous boys - I think new boy looks amazing as a 3 year old. Can’t wait to see how he matures. He looks like he has that goldfish type shine (don’t know how else to describe it).
I can see bog saying stick close you have much to learn young one

 

[NightStock]

They are always full of surprises, aren't they? He looks like he is going to be a beauty and plenty of filling out to do, for names, what about Apollo (God sometimes seens with a Hawk)? I was looking at red related terms in greek mythology and came across Purrhos or Pyrrhus and then found Rubus in Latin, which I quite like too, but I gave my old horse a dutch name so like names that seem unfamiliar?

 

[JenJ]

Oh my!!!!!

 

[Michen]

I think I have a name but it’s a little random and just popped into my head, it’s kind of sticking though and has some personal meaning!

 

[Equi]

Oh they look delightful together! Sometimes it’s best to just let little whoopsies happen rather than have to spend time on it lol

He is def going to fill out to be a decent chap.

 

[OldNag]

Bog is obviously an ace lock picker

't was meant to be. Field buddies!
What gorgeous photos.

 

[Upthecreek]

What a lovely looking boy and seems like he has made himself right at home. He looks like a Rueben to me! Hope you have loads of fun with him, whatever you call him.

That's how it works @Michen
