Tomorrow is the day that Horace will face the world on his own, without his mum

They both came home from the farm a couple of days ago and Rookie (mum) is returning

on her own tomorrow, whilst Horace stays here until he adjusts to his new life :thumbsup:

Here a some pics I took this afternoon of their last day in the field together .................

Lazing around

Get up mum!

Give up

Guess I'd better go and find something else to do

I could annoy Twiggy

On second thoughts I could walk up the field and then .......

 

[jinnyfizz]

Weyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!

Ah good, mum's up now .......... here I come, mum!!!

That's better, can settle down to some serious eating now :thumbsup:

 

[jinnyfizz]

I feel very sad that they two have to be parted now but at least I can keep an eye on Horace and he

will have Twiggy to keep him company (although I don't think Twiggy looks at it like that (w00t) )

Fingers crossed that they adjust OK :unsure:

Awww Horace and his Mum are gorgeous :wub:

What height will he grow to ?

 

[jinnyfizz]

Thank you!! I am hoping he will make 16.2hh, alison.

His dad is 16.3 and mum is 16hh.

He's heading in the right direction anyway :lol:

 

[Hula]

Do you think he is going to have a cheeky personality ?

Just I always think Horaces are quite cheeky for some reason :teehee:

 

[jinnyfizz]

Here's a close up of Twiggy - she'll be 42 next year and, apart from failing eyesight,

she is fit and healthy :thumbsup:

:wub: :wub:

He got called Horace just after he was born.

The vet came to give him a check over and he was too lazy to get up - he

stayed horizontal, hence Horizontal Horace, lol!

He is a little bit cheeky ......... likes to show off and has a huge repertoire of

twists and turns ....... airs above the ground, as they say!!!!

When I register his name for racing, he will be Horatio Bay (unless someone else

nicks that name before he is 4 :- . I could register his name now but if, for some

reason, he doesn't get to the race track, it would be pointless spending money

registering his name at the moment) :thumbsup:

(w00t) look at the size of him now jane :thumbsup:

i remember when we had to take teddys mum away, he also had a feild mate (sunny) and he didnt seem to worry at all when i walked her down the feild to load her up i think we worried about it more than they did )

they both look great jane, it wont be long and your be getting ready to break him :lol: :lol:

will you do it yourself or send him away? i had a guy come to the yard to break a youngster i had, i was great fun and i was involved from day one, he used to leave me home work to do with Tia, and he used to come and work with her 3 days aweek

 

[jinnyfizz]

Lol, Julie!!!

Methinks I shall get someone else to back him -

he can't 'arf buck (w00t) :lol: (w00t)

Maybe I shall try when he is around 2 - do it

the Monty Roberts way and see if it works :unsure:

Lovely pictures, i hope Horace and Mum soon adjust to their

seperate lives :thumbsup:

I love that little hairy critter Twiggy

 

I like horse's at a distance :lol: they always look a bit mental

to me close up, when they roll their eyes and toss their heads

about

and seeing him grow into a big handsome lad... :wub:

 

[kirsty]

Wow how he's grown :wub: Gorgeous pics of them all

 

[Rebecca Claire]

Isn't Horace utterly gorgeous. A big step for him tomorrow and hope it goes really well. Love the pics of him showing off his moves - what a stunning chap.

I am going to be moving my horse to a new yard to where I am moving too (in two weeks), never easy as he is so settled where he is - more worried about his move especially as I hope he likes his new friends!!!

 

[~Sarah~]

Lovely photos of Horace and his Mum. :wub: :huggles: :wub: He has really grown up, but he had such long legs even as a tiny foal. Hope the change in his life goes smoothly.

Twiggy is amazing - what a great age for a pony. :thumbsup:

Aww Jane he looks stunning :wub: Hope he settles without his mum :thumbsup:
