So spring in springing and my lovely little foal has over the last week turned into a bit of a thug lol.

Clearly the grass is coming through. He got a bath tonight as he is showing this weekend, I’ll do his legs tomorrow (showing Sunday) as it was lovely and warm this afternoon.

He decided to show his displeasure at being tied up in the sun to dry by boxing his haynet in between tearing bite out of it.

I’m have to say I’m pleased with how he’s looking going into spring, he’s probably not as mature looking as some people have them but he’s happy and healthy and will grow on in his own time :)

He’s standing about 13.3/14hh now. Was about 12./3 when I bought him in October :)

It looks that way but I think it’s just the way the picture is :)

Being honest doesn’t matter how short or what way I tie him he can get a leg through anything. He just stands and waits to be rescued ;)

I’m going to attempt to bath my nearly 2 year old next week..... any tips? Was yours okay!

I’ve been hosing his legs every second day and he’s been warm sponge bathed once a month for shows since December. He’s very used to it now. I’m doing it all just now as he’s little enough for me to keep a hold of lol.

I find distraction works well. A nice tasty haynet or lick works for the distraction :)
