Yay, they're working now!

He looks really sweet. I love the way that his fore legs are dark at the bottom.

[Spring Feather]

[Btomkins]

Thank you me too thats what first attracted me to him its a plus that he's a sweetie as well!

 

[FfionWinnie]

Very cute!

 

[Btomkins]

Aww thanks for being so lovely everyone, will pass your comments on to Ben, although im pretty sure he know just how cute he is already bless him and will probably get away with murder!

He is a lovely! So striking. How big do you anticipate he will grow.?

He is out of a spotted cob mare who is approx 15.1hh and the appaloosa stallion Wa Ha Dar who is also 15hh, so I'm hoping there abouts although he does look rather small at the moment! He's certainly starting to expand sideways though in that big field of grass

Thanks again, I think his leg markings look like little garters XD tehe!

He's really cute, Wa Ha Dar is a lovely stallion.

Your boy would look great under a western saddle.

 

[Btomkins]

Yeah, I've only heard goid things about Wa Ha Dar and he's absolutely stunning - fingers crossed he's like his daddy (no offence to his mummy who is also lovely!)

I would love to show him western and I think that will be the plan eventually but I have no experience with it whatsoever and am a complete newbie. All looks very exciting though and really want to give it a go.

Is he registered? If he is then I would start doing some in hand showing with him next season

Yes, he is registered as a part bred with the APHC, I'm wondering wether to get his passport over stamped with BAPS as well and if this would make much of a difference?

 

[YorksG]

Unless both of his parents are registered with BAPS he will be on their part bred register (I think) but can be shown in their classes, as a part bred, both in hand and under saddle when he is old enough.
