Dillon our hanoverian Don Ricoss colt playing with his space hopper!!

He is 5.5 months old in these pictures, he is the same foal in the signature photos where he was 3 months old.

I gave my stallion a space hopper, just out of interest to see what he'd make of it, he didn't, just sniffed it and ignored it. It blew around the paddock for a couple of days and then the dogs stole it and killed it. :

Fantastic photos! Absolutely priceless!

My boy plays with a horseball like this - but he stands bolt upright and punches at the ball with his front feet, like a boxer with a punchbag! I have some video of him doing this, which hubby has promised to transfer onto computer for me - I'll post it as soon I can!

When I have mended the puncture, I will try & get a video - in the meantime he is having to make do with his Jolly Ball which is a bit more robust !!

At least he isnt head shy having smacked himself over the head multiple times!!

I have found the older boys dont seem to be so interested in toys - although when Samaii went to Germany he went wth his toybox - (Ecki knows I am mad!!) but the dogs have pinched most of those now !!

Yes, brilliant photos.

I have one who does that too but it's catching him when I've got the camera to hand that's the tricky bit. The other day he stole a length of white guttering from the school and was galloping round with that in his teeth!

It would be quite handy to harness their desire for carrying, to useful objects - Samaii ran off with a wooden rail once, but we weren't fencing at the time!!!

Fantastic photos!!!

I gave mine loads of toys. The dog stole a squeaky one, the mare sends the football out under the chain when she wants feeding and the JollyBall just seems to be in the way!!
