Dolly came from an auction (very unplanned and not advisable) as a very scruffy 5 yr old...

This one is one aged about 13, doing some in-hand showing with my friend's daughter - I think she looks much better!

What lovely jobs you've all done!

Here is my mare when I bought her at 11, enjoying the grass a bit too much ...

And ridden:

Looking a bit thinner:

And here she is at 15 (yes, I know I'm leaning back, competition nerves, I'm afraid - it's been my task for this winter!):

Buster is lovely - what did you end up doing with him? Does he still event? He's more and more grey in the photos - which is a good thing where I come from ;) Lovely little horse!
 
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 aged 3 and a half

Millitiger you have no idea how relieved I am to see those pictures!
I have something similar to the 1st pic sitting in a field at the moment tagged as my 'Future Eventer'. Except I think he is uglier as his coat is still trying to decide if he is going to be ginger, steel grey, black, or roan... :eek: :eek:

I was about to say there's no such thing as an ugly foal..... ;)
But he turned out beautiful!

That photo has convinced MANY people that foals can be extremely ugly :rolleyes:

Goodness only knows why I bought him but he has proved me right and turned out well apart from being 18hh!

I have lots more ugly photos of him- he looked even better a month after this when I got him home and he straight away jumped the stable door and gave himself a HUGE hematoma on his stifle!
