The brothers meet

[EstherYoung]

We brought our two babyponies home today - they've been on youngstock livery up to press which has been brilliant, but the time has come for them to do stuff.

This is 16yo Spud meeting his 3yo full brother Felix for the first time:

Felix is officially taller than his bro:

A whole lot of sniffing going on:

Touch wood they seem quite happy.

[Hippona]

Loving Felix' s chunky bum

Grey Arabs are my favourite thing in the world, and your two are stunning

 

[KVH]

[SatansLittleHelper]

I'll be honest Im generally not an Arab fan but your two are beautiful

Except for the colour difference (which no doubt will change), that first photo looks very like a horse looking into a mirror.

Lovely photos, and breathtakingly beautiful horses.

Really beautiful

How gorgeous they both are! This might be a silly thing to say, but I wonder if they can tell they're related?

Thanks for the lovely comments

Felix and Spud are by Ffatal Attraction out of Alysia (who was by Edykt out of a full sister of Carmargue). Ffatal and Alysia were a lifelong love affair and Ffatal was the only boy for her. There are a few other full brothers knocking about out there and only two sisters (Alysia liked having colts....). We made friends with their breeder after we acquired Spud and then when Felix was born, Alysia's last foal and a last ditch attempt for a filly to keep....fail....., their breeder started a year long campaign to get us to buy him and she wore us down eventually. I don't know what Felix makes of Spud - Spud is more flamboyant than his baby bro who is a bit more of a thinker. Spud's thinking generally goes along the lines of 'la la, fairies, pretty lights'.

Wolfie (the coloured chap) is by the American National Show Horse SV The X Factor out of the Welsh D mare Cwmafon Gemini (Tireinon Roger). And then last but not least is the bay, the incredible 27yo and love of my life Guadalcazar (Harry) who is by Procyon out of Blue Quatrain (Sha'ir x Shindigo Blue).

Oh, forgot Toby who you can just see in the sniffing photo. He's a very cute but very norty EMW rescue pony.
