Oh they're so pretty! The colt is adorable and the mama is gorgeous!

Thank u so much!

What breed are they? I was guessing something with Spanish blood because of the names!

No actually! Theyre dutch warmbloods we’re italian so thats where the colts name is from!

Thursday was a bareback and bath day with Ginger! She was begging for a treat and got to share a popsicle with me afterwards lol.

Anyone got any summer plans with their ponies?

I want to do a virtual (western) dressage show with Ginger, but she was feeling sore in the back and hind end and also was getting really sour about riding so she got about a week or so off and now ruined my chances for this month Maybe next month if we get a chance to practice around summer camp. We need to practice our free and working walk mostly as well as bending before we film. I also may get to show my trainer's mare in western dressage as well.

She’s adorable! And probably lots and lots of hikes with mama and the baby

How cool! What bloodlines? When I was around 16 I wanted this Dutch gelding really bad, he was by Ferro. The sweetest thing, however he was considered dangerous because he would rear and flip. I think he would have done better in a one person home rather than a big show barn.

Anybody want to sign this petition?
It’s to help get the horse welfare rules enforced in the 2024 Paris olympics.

I'd like to know more. For instance, what are the " 46 recommendations to improve the welfare of competition horses"?

And where is this happening?-->" the many thousands of young horses that are killed each year because their minds and bodies cannot take the intense pressure."

Sharing a few pictures from DD's schooling this morning with the baby boy. He's really filling out! He's like 17.2 hh already!

 

[Peaches Lee]

Wow, he's massive! He looks like a very willing horse! Is your DD in Pony Club?

I feel like horses are getting taller and taller nowadays. My friend's QH is 17h and I've seen a 17.3 hand Appaloosa!! What is the world coming to when the stock breeds are 16.3+++?!?!
