I've given in

[saffytessa]

Having lurked for a few years I have finally gotten fed up of reading posts and not being able to reply so have given in and joined the fun.

While I'm at it I thought I would just post a few pics of my girls.
Any excuse to show them off and how much they have changed.

Tess before I bought her in March 2008 aged 8

And in July last year aged 11

Saffy before I bought her in May 2010 at 20 months

And in October last year aged 2 years 3 months

I think they look much better (but I am biased )

Huge improvements in both of them Love Tess but then I am a sucker for a nice dun

Oh, and welcome to the madhouse

 

[saffytessa]

Thank you, and what a lovely madhouse it is too

I have the only horses on the yard who arent bay or black.

Tess was sold to me as a fjord and whilst I'm pretty sure there is some fjord in her there is definately something else in there too

Pictures don't show it but every time Saff's coat changes she get a little bit more roany. I was afraid she would grey out at one point. Keeping greys grey isn't one of my strong points. (Duns hide muck well )

Welcome

Tess looks quite like a Highland to me. They have both improved beyond recognition almost under your wing. Welcome to the Forum by the way

My initial reaction was the same, she looks Highland to me, wouldn't have considered Fjord, love the difference between the wooly winter Highland and the smooth summer Highland, it's like a shampoo advert....because she's worth it!!!!!

They are both FANTASTICALLY IMPROVED very well done you. They look to be lovely horses.

Hello

Both looking smashing - well done you..

 

[saffytessa]

Thank you very much for your compliments. Lots of people say highland when they see Tess. I bought her from a dealer who brought horses from belgium, all fjords or haffies. I have got import papers and I assume there aren't that many highlands over there but I could be wrong

I dread to think how she was kept before to get that poor and run down cos she is a fatty now on next to nothing!

They do both look lovely well done with their transformations!!

Tess looks 100% Highland to me!

Before and after! Both look like different but healthy horses. Congratulations they are very lucky horses.
