Some new photos of my Barockpinto colt :-)

Felix D is very happy in his new enclosure that my boss built me in the dairy. He loves veggies & fruit. Today I found my boss feeding him watermelon, prickly pear & mango scraps tongue.png

Thought I'd add some new photos of him for compliment fishing. He's still very sun faded in some of the pics from the last place I kept him. He's supposed to be pitch black & white but he's starting to lose the fade now after 2 months under cover.

Is it just me or have the angles on his front end improved with either growing up or proper trimming? He looks good. Also bravo on breaking him to drive first. I feel like driving as a skill for horses has fallen out a bit in the united states. Both of mine drive. The mare I broke to drive at 2-3 and then didn't ride until 4 (she was a tiny girl) I do have to say she was the most epically easy horse to ride after being broke to drive first. I literally just got on and rode her threw the paces.

Yeah, he's growing into himself & people are a lot less critical now ;-)

He's bred to drive & it's better for his body than to ride at a young age so why not?

Oh I agree. Driving just seems to be becoming a specialized skill or a lost art in the US. As in most horses are not trained to drive at all, but instead rushed into whatever will make the most money.
