Vaguely disconcerting news about Hector

[S_N]

Just had a text from his Dad's owner, where H is atm, and she says that he's "growing into a fine looking yearling, no longer a chubby foal". Well, what can be the problem there I hear you ask? She said GROWING!! Does he REALLY need to keep on doing that? I mean FGoodnessS!! He was 14.2hh on Jan 7th

You're gonna end up with a strapping 17hh by the sounds of it!!!!

 

[Bananaman]

Oh Thank God for that...............I was expecting to read some bad news!!!!!

He is going to be a big lad, isn't he? Big enough for you to ride........

Go on, keep him........you know you want to!

Forget the step ladders a crane may be in order!

OMG, you had me worried when i read your post title, i thought there was something wrong with Hector!!!

Well i reckon you're going to need a stepladder to get on him by the time it comes to riding him if he keeps growing at this rate

I know the feeling, I hate it when you see them laying down peacefully snoozing and you just know it's not for a lite nap its for GROWING TIME! I keep telling my boy that he is only allowed to sleep laying down in short intervals and not any of this I must lay down and GROW!

Sorry - that was a bit alarmist

I so didn't mean for it to read like that!!

I know, I know!! I'm working on it

 

[S_N]

LOL - I think I'll teach him to kneel down

 

[madhector]

dont do that! thought something awful had happened to him! you should definatly keep him

 

[S_N]

Oh God I really did worry a lot of people - SORRY!!!!!

Either a crane, teach him to kneel, or I need to grow legs like yours

 

[S_N]

Ha haaaaa - how old is yours?

 

[S_N]

SORRY, sorry, sorry!!!

Me likey big ponies

 

[S_N]

Sorry!!! LOL - you just think that coz of the name

 

[madhector]

mm..maybe...but after seeing the pics think hes a stunner, if you dont keep him i want him! can have old hector and baby hector

 

[cazza]

Oh my boy is going to be 3 in May (I wanted a smaller version of mum) he must be around 15hh at the mo, so hopefully he will be chunky and not get too much taller, mum is 16.1hh.

But we have 4 babies and one of them is huge she is nearly as big as mum already and she's only just 7 months old! (mum is about 15.1).

 

[S_N]

LOL!! OOoooo just seen you are in Suffolk - anywhere near Newmarket? No any good livery yards in the area - affordable ones!!!

 

[amandaco2]

are you keeping him?
i just measured beyonce yesterday-shes 14.3hh in front and just under 15.2hh behind LOL.im suprised she can move-oh boy can she though.she went totally looney in the school yesterday-even though her and mums buckets had their tea in and were on the floor she would rather gallop and buck around squeeling!(and im feeling abit scared of getting on her-i hope those bucks calm down they are even worse than mums!!!)
LOL
any new pics of the handsome lad?!

 

[Zebedee]

For heavens sake! Frightened me to death - I was gearing up to go over & see him!!! OF COURSE HE'S GROWING!!! It's coming in to springtime & thats what baby animal do at this time of year!!!!!
