He looks good. Told ya he would grow into his legs beautifully. While I think he will still make a nice harness horse his prospects as a dressage horse are sure starting to show.

All of those & more Peaches Lee

He is so eager to please, it's a breeze to teach him anything though I'm going to college (better late than never) soon so I may just turn him out for a few years in the mountains until I have more time to work with him. We'll see how things go.

He is growing into himself so nicely now-you can almost see the incredible horse he's going to be one day. I took him for a walk the other day & he was very very fresh but I was tired & not up to running alongside him so I kept checking him & the next thing I know, he goes into the most beautiful passage & not just a step or two either

He was still moving too much for me & I wasn't trying out for highschool dressage so I continued to check him & then he went into a very passable piaffe

I actually stood there holding the lead rein in one hand fanning myself with the other

What a horse

I've had 3 people call this month to try to buy him from me when they saw him standing in his corral & a man who is desperate for me to cover his pretty grade mare but we'll see about that.

He is beautiful!!!!

What kind of horse is he and how big do you think he will end up being?

He's a Barockpinto which is basically a colored Friesian.He's a bit mouthy this week but I'm working on it

Update on Felix D!!!
I never knew the second partner who bred him & I've always been skeptical about his age so I was very excited when a friend of mine got the man's number for me. It turns out that Felix turned 2 in October which makes me a very happy lady

I was waiting until he had risen 2 to begin training him for harness & over the weekend I stuck a saddle on as I didn't have a driving surcingle & popped on the long reins. He took to it like he'd been doing it all his life though his steering still sucks a little

At the end of our session, I gingerly hopped on using a chair & rode him side saddle (legs unhooked obv) to the untacking area. What a horse

It's such a pity that mud season has truly began.
