My baby boy is all grown up

[JanetGeorge]

I think this chap is my favourite foal to date.

And was he ever an attention seeking little git. Whenever I walked into his field he was there - posing!

And now he's a grown-up (well, almost!) This was him yesterday - in high wind (most of which went up my coat and made me look 16 stone!

)

He's JUST backed - will start hacking next week (now we've got the brakes and steering sorted!)

Vital statistics: Indigo Macha Prince, 3 year old ID colt by Lady's Tralee Raj out of my all-time favourite mare, Little Macha, who I lost tragically this year to colic.

And no, he's NOT for sale. This year's graders didn't like him (not 'typey' enough - which means too pretty!

) But I think he WILL make the grade and intend to compete him next year (dressage), see how he goes, and maybe grade him elsewhere and represent him in a couple of years (after checking that the Inspectors have been to SpecSavers first!)

Ohhhhhhh he's loooovely.

Sure he's not for sale?

Hehe

 

[Hollycat]

He's GORGEOUS. How could anyone not like him? Never mind - their loss. I am sure he will successfully grade elsewhere

 

[Storminateacup]

Oh wow Janet. I want one like that!

Mmm ... well if you'd settle for grey he DOES have a full brother for sale once weaned! His sisters are staying!

QR- He's Gorgeous! I'm liking what i see!!

 

[Tharg]

Look at the crest on him!

 

[scotsmare]

Sure you don't want to send him to Scotland for a holiday??

 

[DivaRosa]

He is beautifull! Check out the neck on him! x

 

[Spyda]

OMG he's simply gorgeous! And just look how he's carrying himself and just backed, too!!?

Amazing.

No wonder you are thrilled with him.

If you've more like him, regardless of colour, I'll join the queue.

 

[sleepingdragon10]

You do breed some lovely horses JG

he's a handsome chap, easy to see why you don't want to part with him.

I'd LOVE to claim it was my brilliant schooling!

But, TBH, colts are good like that! from day 1 they're PROUD - and even when they're a bit behind the contact - as Prince is at present - they still carry themselves well.

And he probably WILL be for sale eventually - but not until he's RID! i have far too many Raj daughters and Prince full sisters for him to be a stallion for me (unless there were a LOT of outside mares coming in.)
