Fabulous pictures of your tallented young son there riding some beauties

you must be very proud..I tried hard to get my sons and my daughter to ride they all had Ponies as small children (welsh section A's) but sadly it came to nothing

nothing quite like pictures of small children and poines sharing a moment together is very special

so couldnt resist sharing this one of my grandaughter and my boy a few years years ago

More great children and horse pictures...I love em!!

 

[MeganH]

Such a sweet picture, Lindi!

Heidi- Poor Popcorn with the heat and bugs. Cheyenne (my daughter) is an animal person for sure. She loves on them and adores them. My son is an animal person as well... they must get it from me.

Austin is a natural rider.

Was out this morning and Ricky seems to be feeling better after 2 days getting some of the new feed in him. He was wanting lots of love and then started running around, rolling around and talking. I was able to get some on video!!

He is so pretty! I just love him.

He did buck a time or two which I have never seen him do at all. When I was walking back toward his shelter and the gate he started to run, rolled and got up, bucked and ran to me like he didn't want me to leave. Then he started trotting around his paddock and I got some pictures.







more pictures to follow

Here is Cheyenne and Ricky this morning



Ricky enjoying his scratches. He was wanting lots of love today and stayed super close to me.

Congratulations! He's really cute. The one thing I'd be a bit worried about in his paddock is that fence with the vertical boards; I can see him getting one of his little hooves through an opening and then spooking or running off and possibly breaking a leg

Great pictures everyone, and I loved the video Karen. I'm thinking that you are soon going to have to increase the size of his paddock so he can really get a run going!! Older minis are usually content with a smaller space but the kids need as much as possible to give them the chance to run off all those high spirits - which does help to stop them getting up to naughty little habits through lack of exercise. LOL!!

He certainly is a good looking little lad.

 

[MeganH]

Thank you!

Matt-Are you talking about the privacy fence? The spaces are very small and theres no way he could even fit a hoof in them. The gap is not even 2 inches when you are at a severe angle.. when you are looking straight on you can't see gaps at all. Its a tight 'shadow box' design.





Anna- He actually has half an acre of fully fenced land once you open his gate (he will LOVE it). I may extend his pen out later on but we are hoping to buy another house with more land in the near future.

Hi Megan,

What a great surprise for me this morning!! With the storm and outages, I just got my computer up yesterday. Now, looking back over past threads, I got to see Ricky running and playing in his new home

.

He looks great, and your time traveling back and forth to visit him before bringing him home is paying off. What a sweetie

.

Still not sure if I am going to make the drive to the show this weekend. Still replacing fences but I would love to get away for a while. May have to wait until Oct. show.

 

[MeganH]

Glad you are ok Melinda. Hope you are recovering well from Irene and the horses are all ok.

We are planning to be at the show but not in the early morning. Hoping we can make it my husband seems to be either having issues with allergies or getting sick

We hope to be at the October show as well. It's the 'Fall Fling'.

 

[Lindi-loo]
