Jericho's 5 1/2 wk old photoshoot

[stolensilver]

Jericho is 5 1/2 weeks old now. Where has the time gone? A couple of people I know have said he looks like a dressage horse which is great as that's what I bred him to be and they've both said he looks like a stallion prospect. I've never seen a stallion prospect when they were a foal so haven't really got a clue. (Do I want a stallion? )

Anyway here he is. What do you think?

And I've got to include this one of his Mum because she is my heart horse.

Wow, he looks so mature. He is really uphill and powerful.

 

[MillionDollar]

WOW! He is a stunner, that's for sure

I think it's very hard to tell at this age, as they can change so much, but if you can I would keep him entire and go down the grading route. Then they can tell you if he is good enough. Of course, if you can't keep a stallion or don't want to, then I would geld. But you've got a bit of time before that decision anyway

What a knock-out!! Stallion? Gelding? Take it one day at a time, and
enjoy every minute of it. Depending on your circumstances and his
temperament, the decision to cut doesn't have to be taken for quite a
while, if at all. He is something special!

Wow thankyou

Nothing really to add about stallion quality at this stage, other then to say I love this foal (def one of my favs this year) and the mare - are you sure you really need them!........

Wow, he is really lovely

 

[Bedlam]

He is gorgeous and definitely has the wow factor. I'm another one who would suggest grading to get an expert view on whether or not to geld - is he entered into a Futurity? That would give you a good indication of what experts think of him this year.

How is he bred?
