@Kayla: I just LOVE your new JR stallions!! They are so gorgeous, you can ship them to Holland any time!
Here is my 2008 addition with many thanks to Sheryl of Irish Hills Farms:
Cross Country California Dreamin' (here she is pictured at Sheryl's)
I am so happy with her, she is a joy to...
One of my Welshmares has worn a grazing muzzle up to 2 days ago. She wears it during the day and at night I put her in the stable, so she doesn't have to wear the muzzle 24/7.
Since the "power" and fructane in the grass have decreased by now (its november and grass is getting less) I decided to...
@Meg: What a gorgeous colt that is, sure hope Snake is gonna mature like him!
@HG Farm: I'll do my best! I so much like the Welshies and also their character, sometimes they act like small Thoroughbreds.
Our registry in Holland also registers the Welsh x AMHA and Welsh x Shetland crosses.
I...
Congratulations! Thats a job well done! You must be so proud.
Not a horse, but one of our puppies also was trained to be a Therapy dog and now she officially became one..so I know the proud feeling!
@LaVern: I have 2 Welsh mares.
Here is mummy of Snake:
My black Welsh mare Blaze, 1.18 cm (inches??)
And this is her sire, a famous harness-pony in Holland.
Here is Snake's sire, my AMHA stallion Vic (31")pictured left
And here is Blaze again with her first foal, a 2007 champagne...
I'll do my best, want to make some pics next spring, hopefully he has folded out a little bit by then..they get through these stages sometimes, you would think they will mature into something you never meant it to be...LOL but then, when they get older, they develop just nice!
We hope he will stay into NMPRS (Dutch Miniature Studbook) size but my guess is he will, we hope he will mature around 1 meter (not sure what that is in inches though)
We want to repeat this breeding next year, we gave the mare a year off.
This just brings tears to my eyes, what a wonderful story about the love between human and animal.
I just adore the old and neglected ones; if I only had loads of money I'd buy myself a big farm and be a home for all these poor creatures that need help.
You have done an incredible job on this...
Just wanted to show off our young colt, born this year.
He is the result of the breeding of my silverdapple AMHA stallion to my black Welsh Mountain mare.
And I love him, he floats on air when he trots, he's just a little thoroughbred. He's not mine anymore, but owned now by one of my best...
Oh my, what a gorgeous couple of horses you've added to your herd!
I'm feeling kind of jealous not living in the USA and shop for more horses..LOL..
Enjoy them!
Mariska
WOW..what lovely horses! I have seen quite a few I wanna take home any time!
I have 2, and of one I don't know yet if she will dapple, but she is Cross Country California Dreamin, just got her a few days so have to wait till next year to hopefully see some dapples.
here is my stallion:
QMF's...
Here is a pic of my filly of this year (already heavy in her winter woolies ). In this pic she looks like a draft-horse LOL because of all that hair.
Sire is a silverdapple and mother a traditional golden palomino.
Matar herself looked a somewhat cremello-like when she was born but when she...
