Heres my yearling, shes 9 months old. Her mums ID x TB ( only small amount TB), and her dad is Royaldik.
I absolutely adore her, she is the sweetest, kindest unflappable foal. Hates the bad weather, I have to drag her out of her stable if its raining. She is in a 5ft 9 rug, and about 14h. I did the string test and it says she will make 16.1.
She will do anything for a carrot

My nearly 9 month old ID filly, she's about 13.3hh and is such a sweet heart

Next to my 16hh, 2yr old Holst filly

I will have to take some new photo's of her as these are from november.

 

[SpottyTB]

Wynter- would you mind posting more photos? Just cos yours looks similar to mine

 

[SpottyTB]

Looking at all the photos, it is making me feel much happier about my boy.. atm he looks like he has HUGE knees and hocks but actually comparing them to your lovely youngsters, they are big but don't look huge!

Bloody constant worrier about OCD i should have that in my sig "OCD PARANOID YOUNGSTER OWNER"

 

[elumpshie]

Lol spotty reindeer am the exact same scared to feed as well just incase there a constant worry lol

 

[SpottyTB]

Yep its so bad, when i first got Hugo i had a vet to give him his first lot of injections and i said to her "i'm feeding him this and this is how he looks and i'm TERRIFIED of OCD". She sort of laughed and said look the feed is fine and in honesty how many cases of OCD have you known of - like personally or friends in "real life" and not just on the internet and i had to say none - but it still doesn't make me relax!

Had vet out 2 days ago and asked her how he was looking and she said he's fine, you can easily feel ribs and its obvious that a meal is a treat for these guys.. i was stood their with my jaw on the floor! They are both fed once a day and have adlib hay, mine does only get his cup of balancer and the other has heaps of food (old fashioned parents in law) but still, they aren't that skinny!

So it's like, ahhh how can you win!

 

[Asha]

Its fascinating for me to see how much bone they all have. My first foal by the same dam was crossed with a wb, and has a fantastic amount of bone. So when I picked the stallion to try and breed an eventer type, i tried to get a bit more blood.

I thought she was quite chunky, but looking at the bones of all the above i think shes a bit lighter ??

i think she looks similar to whirlwinds first photo ?

Gorgeous babies everyone.

My girl at 9 months is a whopping 14.2. Sadly we didn't escape the dreaded OCD worry as she simply grew way way way too fast on no feed and is currently finishing her box rest from her OCD op but fingers crossed from the end of next week she is going to be able to go out and be a proper baby again. I love her to bits though as does anyone who meets her!

 

[SpottyTB]

Eventrider23 -have you any pictures of her? And what were the signs of OCD? Sorry for the questions, I'm so paranoid, he's 8months and around 13.2.. Knees and hocks like dinner plates.. You can feel his ribs easily:. So weight wise he's ok.

Thanks in advance
Stb

 

[eventrider23]

I'll posts some pics of her later as can't off of this right now. Signs were no lameness at all but she came up with a swollen hock. No tenderness at all but on x ray there was a chip. She is MASSIVE and even weaning early, etc etc did nothing to stunt her.

 

[SpottyTB]

Eventrider- just seen some of your past posts, wow she's beautiful - i wish you the best of luck with her and hope she comes right.

I've got some photos of Hugo today..

(Excuse the rested leg - lazy so and so!)

[callmelucky]

i cant post photos...boo. my comp wont let me do it...Any tips?!

 

[eventrider23]

Spotty Reindeer - thank you! Haven't posted pics on here in ages so here are some updated ones of her. This pic of Roo was taken just under a month ago and she at 8 months old was standing 14.2!!! Despite having been on months of box rest and her surgery. Thankfully she is a MODEL patient and has won the hearts of everyone including the vets and nurses. I simply cannot wait to see her out in the field again in a week! She is out of a 16.3 WB x TB (50:50) mare and by a 16.2 WB jumping stallion but she is simply working on being 17.3 herself!!

These are a few of her last summer:

This was her when first on box rest before her op - if you look at the left hind you can see the hock is puffy.

I am just thankful she was insured lol and whatever happens, she was always one I bred to keep for myself as her sire and dam are very dear to me and she is the only foal by her dam I can have. Fingers crossed her wound sites healed perfectly and the swelling, which can sometimes remain even after fixing is all gone.

 

[Asha]

She is beautiful, and has a very kind face. I hope it all works out for you.
Lovely filly

 

[ElleSkywalker]

Anyone rememember this little guy? Born last June, pic Nov

And his half sis, born march 11, so technically a 2 year old now, pic in sept

 

[wynter]

OMG SPOTTYreindeer your boy does look just like my filly

 

[kinskycookie]

Ahh beautiful yearlings My gorgeous little man is 9 months old now and measured a few weeks ago at 14.1 too. All legs! I'll be doing an extra thorough leg check tomorrow after reading these posts! Another OCD worrier here (Off to search for up to date photo)

 

[Sol]

I'm a bit scared to think of my 'little' one as a yearling! He was born in may, and came over from Germany in November
This is him a few weeks ago, very bum high... (debating about stealing the older pony's feed bucket)

With me (I'm 5'4, we haven't measured Pea yet)

With my 15.2hh gelding when he arrived in Nov

I can't quite believe how big he's getting already, he's my first 'baby' though Not bred by me, but out of two ponies I used to ride, was there to help with the covering - only thing I missed was the first 6 months of his life as we were in different countries It's still very exciting though!

 

[jeeve]

Here is my 10 month photo, have not got my 12 month photo - but not much change.

My son took her for a walk up the road today, she really enjoyed it, just a really laid back and confident filly. (buckskin is her mum)
