I went out and worked with my favorite filly this afternoon. I call her "Sweety" and boy is she. Plumb willing to do anything you ask. Saddled her up and really had a hard time not getting on her, but seeing as she is just a long yearling and not real tall yet, I decided to wait and let someone who is smaller (and a better hand!) ride her for the first time. Maybe Jr will do it for me.

She looked so good in my saddle, I decided to take a picture and show her off. She's built like a tank and the only fault I can see is she is just a wee bit small and got one white hind foot. But I think I can live with that.

I also worked with my draft filly. Once you get your hands on her she's pretty nice. I don't think she's going to be too much trouble to harness and drive.

Beautiful day here. About 50 or 55 and hardly a breeze.

I also included a picture of the nose of another filly that has a permanent twist in it, like she just smelled something bad. I've never seen anything like this before. I need to catch her and see if her mouth is messed up. I had never noticed it on this filly before and I ain't real sure what caused it or hoiw long she's been this way. Anyone ever seen anything like it before and got any advice?

This is the filly that NR liked. She's still waiting here for you NR. When you gonn'a come and pick her up?

She looks so cute in her big grown up girl saddle Smile They always look so little Smile She is definately a nice one Smile

I'm still debating on whether or not to start Zippy this spring. He still looks so wee. He is a March Baby so I might just leave him alone until summer. Not too sure yet. I don't need to worry about manners with this kid that's for sure, the mares have really taught him how to respect! Anyhow there is no rush on him, he'll be here a while. His sire was recently gelded. So he is only one of two colts out of him...........

Pretty little filly in a nice new Saddle... Wish we had some of your warmth, I ahve to go work on 280 Horses in the middle of a field... Sure, it is a tractor but still, I am not changing out that resevoir without it being at least 40 darn it...(Been sick, really don't fell like freezing my arse off in the middle of a field working on a tracor)..

And I think the white foot gives her character.. And JB, the smaller they are the eaasier to climb onto and the shorter distance to fall off Wink

I think she's pretty nice.

As for color, bay and dun is my favorite, but I've rode good ones in all colors.

Same with breeding. There are good ones and bad ones, all bred the same. A good one is a good one, no matter the color or breeding.

But with bloodlines, you can get a little better handle on tendencies, seems like.

Ever notice how many sons and daughters of world winners, don't win anything? Laughing

An old horse trader used to say, "I've had lots'a of pretty horses. Most of them wasn't worth a damn, but they were sure pretty." Wink

That nose is odd on that one filly JB.. Does have the "Yuck, what is that smell" look to her...

There is one horse I ride that is so darn short that my ankles can almost click together underneather her. well, not quite but it sure feels that way... Old appy mare that should retire but whatever, she sure is easy get onto.. I am not a big guy or a little guy, just about 6 foot tall but I would probably rather have a 15 or so hand horse than the 16.2 that is sitting out in our pasture right now and who thinks she is a sheep.

For the right price, I'll even throw in a saddle. Smile

Hey Jinglebob, there is something about you north country boys I can't figure out . If you are anything like me you take extreme pride in your Kack ( for those of you that is saddle in cowhunter terms aka: hull, wood, office ) and probably spent Several months wages on it so for 2500-5500 bucks they won't sell you boys a saddle with a front end on it . I mean for that much money it is a shame you have to put a hundred dollar pair of rolls on it in case one gets pitchy. just ribbin boss don't take no offense

Didn't cost me that amount. You see, I built it myself. Raised the filly myself. Oh and I made the buckin' rolls too. I put them on a slickfork saddle, for the same reason so many people wear boots. I may not need them, but when I do, it's a little late to go get some.

I rode swell forks for years. Found out that them buckin' rolls don't pound on you near as bad as them swells do. And the saddles fit closer to the withers, so you get less pull and pinch when you rope something.

'Course, you probably never have to worry about the pinch, seein' as how you probably ride a 4 wheeler to work and doctor cattle.

Don't get mad, just ribbin', son. Wink
