Jumbo Colt 4 weeks **Photos** any good?

[jaynec]

Well it's now 4 weeks since my colt arrived! How's he looking? He's had a foal slip on and will lead with Mum after a fashion. He's been just with Mum so far but they are going out at the weekend with 8 other brood mares and foals, as I think he needs some social interaction!
Just Born

3 weeks, having a wash on a hot day, with Mum

He's my first foal, so any informed opinions would be appreciated!

Well.. I would start wearing shoes if I were you

He is rather handsome And your mare is lovely too

hes lovely

but please wear shoes !! I used to live in trainers until one day my horse slammed down on my foot..... it hurt... a lot!!....

 

[bensababy]

What a fantastic colt he is! Think he will be far too big for you - so hand him over!!!

Very very handsome chappy Looks in excellent condition.
I love the mumma to she is a beauty.

Ok, I take on board the shoes thing. We get take our horses for granted I suppose, but no-one wants to get hurt. When leading him I definately have a hat, boots and gloves! Mum's 16HH and Dad's 16.3HH, and I know it's early days, but I don't think he's going to be small??

Very nice colt and I expect he's a good boy, all the Jumbo stock I've met have had great temperaments.

He is definately a lovely big boy! You've got a cracker there!

As others have said (and I know you've taken on board) please wear boots... I recently got trodden on, wearing my tough leather boots and lets put it this way, i dread to think of the dammage if I hadn't have been... I got away with an entirely black and blue (and every colour of the rainbow in between), incredibly swollen foot, which is still giving me jip some 2 months on...

He is a cracking looking stamp of a lad....well done to mum and dad!

Would echo others on shoes though as only two days ago saw the most horrific pictures of someone's foot who had been wearing sandles....totally removed the top of her foot and all toe and foot bone exposed....yuk!

Beautiful colt and mare.

Beautiful boy, but again please please wear shoes. When I was an A/E sister I saw someone who had their toes amputated by their horse standing on them accidentally - the person was wearing flip flops. I have never forgotten the mess it made of her foot.

He's a very nice stamp. What's the mare's breeding?

 

[kerilli]

stunning boy, looks very like my chestnut Jumbo filly who is about a week older. they'd make a wonderful matching pair!

 

[jaynec]

Kerrilli, let's see some updated photos of your filly! They looked very similar at birth and it would be nice to see how they progress as they get older.
The mare is mainly TB, but one grandsire is Dallas and another one is King of Diamonds. She's only 16hh and I would be happy if the colt reaches that height!

He's gorgeous! S looks like a very happy mum too

 

[gingerfilly]

He is stunning colt.... well done you. Mum looks to be a lovely stamp of a mare too, but he is a good strong colt

My god woman you are brave..... wearing no shoes while bathing My toes were curling just looking at the picture lol!!!
