Here is another picture of Dyna in the show ring with my 14 year old daughter, Jessica.
Personally, I like this mare head a lot. I dont' think her head is big for her body, I think it looks bigger because of her very refined throat latch and neck. (I would like to add that it is all natural, she had not been sweated at all.) I have seen horses that had very small heads to match there very fine necks and it looks wonderful...but I don't think the head & neck match the body then. This is just my opinion. Often, we all compare minis to arabs. Well, take a look at a lot of there heads. Often they look larger then they should with the almost non-existent throat latch. The arabs often have a much more refind muzzle which makes them balance.
She also does have her three year old bumps, top and bottom. She has "lost" some of her dishy head for awhile until they clear all up and go away.
Also, she is a little thinner than I like to see as well, but she has been bodying up since then.
I would love to make another one like her, but sadly, we lost her dam the year after she was born. This is the one and only foal she was able to produce for me and I am very glad to have her...she is a one of a kind!
Thank you all so much for all the nice comments....I just wanted to see if I was just being "blind" because she was ours or if other people would like her as well.
For the record, she has been shown limitedly this year. She has done very well, stand Reserve Grand Champion Mare at the May Claremore Show with my daughter showing her! We were so PROUD of both of our "KIDS"!!!
