[Four Seasons]

Vinnie as the ugliest foal you have ever seen

Vinnie as a 5yro last autumn

Wow! He was an ugly ducking... what a difference. He looks fab now.

Wow! He was an ugly ducking... what a difference. He looks fab now.

He doesn't look so fab now as he is out on his winter holidays and looking distinctly like a hairy camel!

But he is coming back from his holiday home on Sunday and I am really excited about getting him started again

I went alone to view him and put the deposit down... my mum was rendered speechless by what I had chosen when we went to pick him up a few weeks later- I think she thought I was bonkers!

 

[Amaretto]

Am loving this thread, great idea!

About to attempt to upload some pics - this could get messy!

Hope this works, eek!

How do you attach a photobucket picture so it shows as a picture and not as a link? I am not great with this technical stuff, aargh!

 

[Sharpie]

This is my boy Cruise when i viewed him in April 2011. He was rising 3 June 2011. Needless to say I bought him!!!

After A LOT of TLC and hard work he is now still growing, maturing and filling out but has turned into the nicest little horse you could ever hope to own. I hope we continue to build on our fabulous foundations and enjoy a long and successful journey together.

Here he is now rising 4

C when I had him.

[Baydale]

its made me think....baby horses really are ugly aren't they

Yes they are. Here's Wallace at a day old:

Thankfully he got better looking a few months later:

Princess Gertie has always thought she is beautiful:

even when there is evidence to the contrary...

 

[diggerbez]

OMG....milltiger and baydale....they really were ducklings weren't they???? but Wallace is supercute now and Vinnie is a real stunner....

Amaretto...its something to do with IMG codes but i don't use photobucket so probably not much help!

 

[GinaGem]

I thought Prince was really ugly when i first saw pics of him but i totally fell in love with him in person. This was when i first bought him:

and last year:

He always has his ears flopped back which never makes for a great picture!

Diamond the first time I ever rode him, yes, he's a huge beast! 18.1hh:

I can't say they've ever really been ugly ducklings, but they've definitely improved!

Any excuse for a Tan pick!!although Tan was 9 when I first got her on loan in March 2011(so techinically not a ugly duckling) this is how she arrived after being on mummy duties for a few years

Alot of people said she would never be the show horse I wanted...so we proved them all wrong when we won Bridgend county in I think July after being back in work a matter of weeks due to me recovering from a knee reconstruction

and again when we qualified for our first championships under spotlight

Fashion I brought as a very wild 3yr old,unfortunatley no pics of when she first arrived but pic of her winning champion at her first show 6 weeks after arrival in July

SWPA champs in Sept

Winning supreme 1st show of the season as a 4yr old in April (she was the only mare against mature stallions)

Royal welsh in the July

and finally-Ryan when we brought him in Oct 2010 at 5 months old

Few weeks later

January

 

[FrodoBeutlin]

What a lovely thread! Some real transformations

Frodo was proper ugly - don't know what I saw in him

As a yearling:

As a 2yo, when I bought him:

Just before he was backed, at 4:

And then, a couple of pics from last year:

And some recent ones!!

Because I see him every day I genuinely had not realised how much he'd changed until now

As a yearling:

he was a bit of a "special" looking yearling, bless his cotton socks!!

 

[FrodoBeutlin]

LOL Maybe that's why he was such a bargain!!! Not complaining, I think he's turned out pretty well

 

[trendybraincell]

Yeah I think you did alright!
