From Foal to full grown (Pictures)

[burtie]

As a one off breeder I'm always fascinated to see what all your foals look like as full grown horses. Herbie is only 4 so I'm sure will change more yet but here he is for starter, please post any you have of yours:

As a 3 year old:

Herbie at 4 years old :

He matured an awful lot between 3 and 4 and his blaze has almost become a stripe over the years!

What a smart lad he is now!

What a lovely boy! His mum looks very much like a mare I bred a fantastic foal from 2 years ago, what is her breeding? And who is Herbie's daddy?

Gosh in that photo of him as a month old I would have said he was going to be a really big MW type, and yet in his photos at 3 and 4 he is a really pretty little chap, more like a riding horse than a hunter. Lovely to see how he has developed over the years

QR- thanks for the lovely comments ,his breeding is by Luidam out of a Carnaval Drum mare. Has anybody got any pictures of their as foals and full grown as I would love to see more examples?

gosh, hes changed so much from a 3 to 4 yr old - he really looks great tho, you must be so pleased with how hes coming along.

Are you going to affliate him? x

Yes the plan is to do Prelim and Novice next year on him. I didn't bother this year as with the baby I've had little time to compete! He's going off to do jumping in Jan/Feb so it will be after that. Can't wait though to get out there again. My last affilaietd Dressage was in 2004

It must be really rewarding for you to have watched him blossom and grow into what he is today! BIG congrats!

Well technically yes, but I as a first time breeder she went to the stud to be AI'd by frozen then back there next spring to foal so I didn't actually do very much

And yes I am very pleased with how he turned out!
