Rema - your horse is beeeyootiful, not fugly at all!
Merry measure - your photos give me an immense amount of hope that when his winter fuzz is finally gone, my little one will look a bit more respectable. Yours is gorgeous!

Thank you snowstormll ! She was 9 months in the 1st pic, and the transformation has been amazing! People think she's a different horse from the one they saw first! She was such a little ragamuffin, and now is so beautiful. I love her dearly. So do take heart. I'm sure yours will suddenly blossom as she has done, and be just as gorgeous, I'm certain!

gosh aren't they looking grown up already, AMW!
Just wanted to update here a little, since it's not worth a thread (and maybe some of you could also share those little achievements here, keep each other updated?)
The kids are back from their first off property show. Not a toe out of line from either of them, hooray!
Breeze came third, she kicked the wall a couple of days ao, and althouh perfectly sound, swellin isn't pretty, so she was understandably marked down.
My little Diva on the other hand, won both her (large, tough!) classes, several competitors and spectators offered interest in buying her, so we'll see if anyone is right for her, or she might end up staying

Reality check, they just seem to have come into themselves this last few weeks, pleased with the 2 of them.
Yours are looking rather smart, Diva looks very well named, love the way you do their manes, whereabouts are you?

Beautiful babies!
Also hugely impressed by you're amazing plaiting up skills - by the looks of your weather and scenery you are a long way from the UK if you were nearer I would bribe you with cake and biscuits for a lesson

Managed to get some pictures of my yearling looking reasonable enough to post.. she has of late been mid malt and not looking her best.
She still looks baby like and has only just turned 1 just over a week ago, however in comparison her sister looked very mature by this age.. difference is that her sister was stabled at night during her first winter where as this little lady weathered it out, possibly has something to do with it? Not sure - but anyway here she is!
For comparison her sister this time last year at the same age..

Sorry if they are massive pictures (or if you cant see them at all which is my usual trick ) not sure how to shrink them from FB.
My little yearling is growing like a weed, these were a couple of months ago, he has a gorgeous summer coat poking through now
We've been taking full advantage of his trust in Mum and yearling curiosity to keep his brain busy!

Is your Tiptoes bred from a stud in Tiptoes? Just curious as I have a 'Tiptoes' pony, wasn't sure if you call her that because of the prefix to her show name?

BYH, her registered name (with WPCS) is Tullibardine Tiptoes. I bought her as a foal and got to choose her name. Called her Tiptoes as although she has white legs her hooves are black and she has lovely pointy toes when she trots seemed appropriate for a riding pony type

My little friesian x TB horror is just past his fist birthday now and has finally got rid of all bar a bit of fuzz on his belly which looks totally daft, but I've finally managed to get a few decent pics of him to put on his for sale adds!!
He's 15Hh-ish now and should make 16.2Hh or there abouts, and he's a clone of his brother who's now 6 and has just started a career in the film/TV/stunt business which is very exciting I htink he's doing some re-enactments this summer for English heritage, his half brother (same dam different friesian sire) is off to HOYS again this year as a working hunter after winning alsorts, his sister is at Crakenthorpe stud doing jumping and dressage, and other brother was last heard doing jump cross so hopefully this little fellow will follow suit as he's the last one we're breeding!!
This was Arius a couple of weeks ago:
Nomnomnom!!

If you want to look see, this is my yearling, and this years foal (who are best of friends) last week. He is about 13 months, 15hh. Dam Is carnaval Drum, Voltaire, Armstrong, and a sucessful SJ mare, Sire is Amoureux. He is rather bum high in this!
He is also so laid back it is untrue, so its quite hard to get him to show his off!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGcr2HvDJhA
And this is him last year at grading
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_p1YDuAvbQ
Again need to watch till he and dam are loose and scooted up properly as we couldnt run enough to show him off!!!

Took my yearling to the BEF again, honestly thought she would do pants, but she matched her score from last year so really pleased. The best bit was the vet gave her elite, and said she was the perfect stamp for an eventer. She lost loads of marks from the judges for not moving ! she was so laid back it was ridiculous. I had to drag her round the final lap. Bless. Really very proud of her
