I was wondering if anyone would like to show current pictures of their show horses, so we can see thier condition for this time of year. Im tyring to judge if we are on track for conditioning, or if Im way behind, but dont have any horses to compare to.

Plus, I want to drool over your horses.
 
Ill post mine tomorrow. When I get the others clipped.

So far I have 2 clipped one surprised me GOOD. Just needs some toning.

The filly needs weight over her back. (Weaned her and she was trying to starve herself cause she was MAD!!!)
 
taken last weekend LOL, but we are only just heading into winter now!

I am showing three of my own this year ...

Kitty - classic over 2 year old mare

Twister - R over 2 year old gelding

Dream - Sr R under mare

Then i have three outside horses in the barn to be shown but will not post pictures of them.

These are somewhat current photos of mine as of within the past few weeks...

Little Kings Crimson Dream - Sr R under mare 32.5" ... she prob has the farthest to go as she is on a limited diet (she has Protein Loosing Enteropathy + Thyroid..she is a fun one) so she is taking her sweet time coming into condition.

Twister - 2yr old jr gelding ... smoothing out real nice and i clipped him a few days back and he turned out real real nice under all that..just a video of him.

Video - LINK

Kitty - WHO IS 250% NICER THEN THIS PHOTO...she is one that her personality and attitude shows her off better then a photo. But - Shetland, classic 2yr old over mare (i think she is right around 44" with a bit of hoof)....

Chanel Yearling 32" Filly Owned By Janice shes by my mare and we are all good with posting ;) She Fashions 08' Foal.

She could use a bit of weight on her topline and a bit fo muscle her feed is upped but she still looks smooth.

I cannot wait for Janice to get her in the ring again

this was Duke in Jan/Feb, I will have pics from last week in a few days from the Glen Rose AMHA show of all 3 of my boys. The horses in Texas are TOUGH to beat. All the big trainers have their best out already.

The latest one I have of Esprit is from the February ADT at Happ's, he wasn't clipped yet.

Esprit-FebADT-1.jpg


This is Alladdin from just yesterday. Both boys are getting fairly fit.

They are getting worked pretty regularly. I have driven Esprit for 30-40 minutes four out of the last five days, for example. Alladdin similar schedule although he had two days off during that time. I will drive him tomorrow and give Esprit a day off. I am also conditioning Ally for combined driving; that requires even more work. I usually drive two out of the three horses per day, rotating them through the schedule.
 
Keep in mind these are bad pictures. Hasn't been bathed, and a very very rough clip. We've been working on conditioning since mid march, and I recently got him completely switched over to a new food and changed his routine a little. BTW, my husband takes bad pictures, and he was just "snapping away" because the batteries were almost dead.

The last picture shows his topline a little better, in the other pictures it looks like he is uneven, but in person it's not like that.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Just two show horses for me this year. The first is my 14 year old gelding Joey. We'll be doing an ADT this August, and we haven't done as much conditioning as I would like for that caliber of competition. But here he is, my silver bay pinto.

And my little yearling colt Peppermint!

I'm falling more and more in love with this little guy. He's still a stallion as he hasn't fully descended just yet.

We think he's a grulla pinto, but he's just cute as anything. Not sure how much showing we'll do with him this year. And this is with no conditioning yet this year, just playing in the arena.

I don't have any "posed" pictures but here are a few from the field of one of my all around gelding. He was just shown last weekend. I've only been working him a couple of times a week so he's not in top shape just yet.
