his coat was SO thick!!!! it blunt the blades LOL shhh I'll just take them back to the vets they will get them cleaned hehe.... he was really good! his coat turned out pretty good, considering it was my first full clip job

we had a bit of fun with him hehe, then we jumped in the pool was so nice

so as requested here are some pics... will take some more tomorrow hopefully

So here he is!!

Kingspark Fair Warrior!! after his first clip at 3 months old!!

(I think anyway LOL)

after Rebekah went home another friend and her boyfriend unexpectadly dropped in, literally

I was saying bye to bek and I hear "cassie" I thought it was the kids across the road so I said "what" lol she yelled out "can you see me?" then these car headlights drive down our drive way and its Alison and Joel

I want him! I want him!

Lol really? Thanks Renee Did I do an alright job?? Rebekah was a great help lol

He is a bit bum high... But should that fix itself do you think?Anyway now I'm going to bed lol night

 

[AnnaC]

I'll fight you for him Renee LOL!!

Cassie, he is just so cute and you have made a really good job of the clip!

With the temperatures you are having I'm sure he will feel better, and you can always pop a rug on at night if it turns really cold, although as long as you dont bath him and remove the natural oils and grease from his coat/skin, I dont think you will need the rugs at night.

I do realise that you in Aussieland and a lot of folks in the US have temps way over what we have here in the UK, but I have never had to clip a foal in the summer, and I get really confused when you talk about foals not shedding their coats during their first summer as babies - none of my babies do any shedding until the Spring following their first winter (nor have any of the thoroughbred or hunter foals that I have bred in the past). Yes they lose hair round their eyes, muzzles and often ears, but they never actually lose their foal coats during the year of their birth. So you can see how confused I get when folk post that their babies haven't shed!!

 

[lucky lodge]

for a first time clip he looks great ...well done..

:yeah

little finn is the cuties thing .

.how tall is he, he looks really little

 

[MeganH]

Great Job, Cassie! And Finn- Great Job being absolutely adorable (as always)!!

Was it hard to clip him, Cassie? I haven't done it yet and am kind of scared lol

 

[Lindi-loo]

He looks great Cassie you did a fab job

love the new hair cut

hes so dark and looks so grown up

 

[cassie]

Thanks everyone.

Jenny I'll o n measure him now... Though he is in need of feet trimming... Can't get hold of my farrier grrr

Oh he grew out of the whole standing on his pastern thing thank goodness!

Megan he was really quite easy

I thought he would have been harder but I did have help n we just scratched him the whole time we were clipping him lol he LOOVES scratches!! Lol silly baby it really helped of course our nails were wrecked after lol but that's what you gt I guess lol

I must confess I have done dogs n cats for surgery... Dnt know if that counts lol they are all knocked out already n we use a #40 blade for that... Suzies tummy was the first horse clipping I did

N it was horrible lol I'm quite proud of my clip job this time hehe thanks everyone

 

[cassie]

He is a little over 25" tall at 3months old

N his attitude makes up for his lack of size lol

He loves his new coat though lol silly little man!

 

[Wings]

Nice job cassie!

 

[cassie]

(what do you think Diane?)

[cassie]

:wub

:wub





and her Daddy. who is a big man now too!!!!

 

[MeganH]

Very cute. I love Finn and his bucket. Kias baby is cute too!

 

[JAX]

Haven't kept up very good with everyone for awhile now.

Wow Finn is growing into such a cute little man. What were the color choices on the daddy(s) again? I know its in this thread somewhere but was hoping not to have to go thru all 111 pages to find it...

 

[cassie]

no problem at all Diane, I thought you would like seeing her again, we will be putting her to our angus bull in the next few days...

Hi Jax

Thanks for stopping in

yeah he has grown little man!

the colour options were a bay and white pinto with blue eyes, or a silver dapple with 4 white socks lol

 

[JAX]

Well Finn sure looks like a Bay to me.... Sooooo my guess would be the Bay Pinto is the daddy. Two Silver Dapples (actually silver blacks) cannot make a Bay because neither of them would carry the Agouti gene that is required to turn the Black base into a Bay.

Silver dapple + Silver dapple =

Silver Dapple

Black

Chestnut

Silver Dapple + Bay =

Silver Bay

Bay

Silver Dapple

Black

Chestnut

 

[Equuisize]

Son of a gun isn't he a cutie all grown into a real little boy.

I think he is a bay also.

Zoe's Mom was a seal brown and you'll see the difference.

I had to re-scan this and I don't think the color came out as good....but she is just all brown...no shadings or counter shadings.

 

[cassie]

Thanks Nancy and Jax, I agree that it is the pinto, Finn also has a partial blue eye, which makes me think the pinto.

Wow Zoe's mum is lovely, yeah I can see what you mean... its so hard with the baby fluff LOL I guess we will see as he gets older

 

[Eagle]

Welcome back Jax, how are you?

Cassie great pics, thank you.

You will have to get Finn tested to put us out of our misery.

 

[cassie]

Welcome back Jax, how are you?

You will have to get Finn tested to put us out of our misery.
