Suprise Foalie Waiting This Morning!!

[teacups]

Lovely photo, and wow, what a nice thing to have such a bond between her and Blake (and you, too). How is Niabi's mum now - is he riding her?

 

[kimberleigh]

Thanks guys

Would anyone happen to know what 'type' she'd come under in terms of showing? Obviously shes a welsh part bred but as far as I'm aware you have to turn out relevant to type - riding pony/show hunter etc etc?! I was thinking leather in hand filly slip (with coloured browband??), plaited mane and tail (think shes too young to pull her tail yet). I would wear brown gloves/cane, light trousers, shirt, tie, tweed jacket and blue (?) velvet hat??

She definitely is very sturdy lol, everyone thinks she's much older than 2 as she appears mature physically and I don't think she'll get much bigger which is a bit of a shame but beggars can't be choosers.

Her dam is out on loan as I didnt have the time to do her justice but shes been an absolute star with her 3 year loanee

What a beautiful girl. She's only two - I'm sure she'll grow a bit more.

 

[PorkChop]

Looking gorgeous

 

[Wundahorse]

How wonderful. Both are lovely and the foal just too adorable. However did mum push her out though?

 

[kimberleigh]

I hope she does grow a bit more but she has been this size for around a year already haha

Her mum was a star, Nia was her 5th foal she had her 4th foal at foot when I bought her and was already pregnant with Nia. Poor girl, no more babies!

 

[AAR]

She a nice type. She would be a SHP type because shes pretty chunky

 

[Megibo]

Can't believe she's 2 already, remember seeing her baby pictures!

 

[kimberleigh]

Niabi turns 3 next month

She is standing at a full up 13hh now so definitely isn't going to be big enough for me my little boy hates horses now too so she won't be suitable for him either

I'm much too attached to her to even consider selling though so I'm thinking I will send her to a show producer to be broken in and then look for a confident child for her!! Will try and attach pics...

Scruffy monkey with long tail and messy feathers

And looking a little less feral after some trimming

 

[Fools Motto]

She has grown into a lovely smart looking pony. Wishing you all the very best with her.

 

[kimberleigh]

Thankyou

You can really see the freisian in that first photo, she will have presence and lovely paces, I would think. I hope you can find someone to have loads of fun with her, what a lucky pony she is. (My sons went off ponies too but as teenagers are getting keen again, can't imagine why!?)

 

[ester]

:eek3: so grown up! Lovely to have an update, thank you!

 

[Mariposa]

Oh she is gorgeous!! Lovely photos, what a sweetheart!

 

[teacups]

Lovely to see another update - doesn't time fly?
She's looking great. What a shame about your son - hope it's a phase.

She's a sweetheart! I'm meant to be showing her in hand at the end of this month but I think I will have to bit her first as the first (and only time) I took her in hand she almost had me off my feet

She would've been my dream pony when I was little so I'm hoping to find a plucky child for her! She is more small horse like than pony like, and has tons of presence

I can't believe how time has flown by! Will keep updating

Thankyou I think she's stunning but I'm biased obviously hehe

Niabi turned 3 last weekend!

She did me proud today - 2nd ever show and she won her class (youngstock in hand). Love my little lady

And behaved like an old pro with my partners tiny grandson who wanted a break from his Shetland!

[JJS]

She's such a beautiful little mare!

 

[Magnadoodle]

What a gorgeous mare x have spent a pleasant half hour reading over your thread and admiring your pics

 

[iestynlad]

Love the little stripey rug - she's a total babe!

 

[Meowy Catkin]

She looks fantastic. Well done on the first place too.

Do you still have Freisa?

 

[kimberleigh]

Thanks all - she's my little star

Faracat Freisa was on loan to a wonderful family in Cornwall who have just bought her from me. Her little jockey is a 2 year old boy who does absolutely everything with her, and she has a home for life. They keep in touch all the time with photos etc so I am very happy she has a job again which doesn't involve having babies

[Meowy Catkin]

That's great.

 

[_GG_]

She's so beautiful!

Niabi went out on loan a few weeks ago now to a family who have horse mad little ones. Their 6 year old son is already jumping 70 cm courses off lead rein on his section a and we felt Niabi may be the perfect future pony for him. The first day she arrived he had a sit up on her. Since then they've done a lot of groundwork and even led her out hacking off another horse where she encountered motorbikes/buses/children on the school run etc and didn't bat an eyelid!!

Yesterday a young girl who is a great little lightweight rider sat on her in walk and trot - and Nia took it all in her stride like she'd done it all before

To say I am proud of her is the biggest understatement ever!

They are so happy with her and I am so so pleased that all the lessons I gave her as a baby have stood her in such good stead for her future education

I will update with photos as she progresses

 

[ester]

OMG that is brilliant news
