Before and After photos..

[miniapp]

IF my poor, addled mind remembers correctly

: , I believe that there was someone looking for some "Before and After" photos of horses? (It might have been one of our Youth members for a project..?) Anyway, I thought that these were interesting... these are of a client gelding that has been here for a couple of months.. thought it was a good study in change...

Before: (He had been with me about 1 week)

After: (at about 60 days in the barn..)

I thought these were interesting because he is in almost the same spot in both... thanks for letting me share.

Are you taking him to the R Nationals Suzy?

He looks better especially the color, neck, etc. Also is he a palomino? His lower legs in the second photo look almost like he's a silver.

Wow what a change. Very nice.

Couldn't get the "quote thingy" to work....

: but, Yes, Michelle, he is going to R Nationals. I know that he is not the most refined horse

: , but his owners REALLY wanted him to go and he has done well enough out here to deserve a shot. The thing that I really love about this horse is that he is solid in MIND and body and I am really hoping to place him in a home that has kids. His size helps him to be able to be a leadline/walk trot horse for a "youngun".. (3 or 4 years old) but should still be able to compete in open at a decent level. And he has a big, sweeping trot and I feel that he will also be a good Country Pleasure horse.

He is really a palomino.. I had just bathed him and we have dusty dirt here and it grabbed his legs. :bgrin

Anyway, are you guys coming? I am going to pick Nicolette up at Tulsa Airport on Sunday.. (I think?) That would be fun if we all could spend some time there. Jim and I are stalling together and he is hauling the horses for me because of my arm...

Thanks again for the compliments everyone...

Isn't it amazing the difference with some condtioning, feeding and training? I love to have my show horses come in December and with 60 - 90 days training plus a bath and clip job, they look like little show horses!

Good luck with him and be sure to let us know how he does!

I'm not going to Nationals this year - I'll be staying at a cabin on the shore of Lake Tahoe with friends on vacation (a previous commitment)! Next year though!

Nicolette is going with me tomorrow up to Southern Oregon to Kathi's (belated birthday BBQ) and I have to pick up my mare that has been up there for a few months.

Best of luck with your gelding and Irish at Nationals! Between you and Jim showing I do wish I was going. It will be a blast!

BTW - that is a great job of getting that tail white!
