Here's the pix Judith (and anyone else that wants to look)

[Jinglebob]

I was out workin' with the crooked nose filly this morning so snapped some pix.

Here's the filly, after the work out. I looked and her teeth are fine, so she must have got kicked or something and messed her nose up a little this summer or fall. It shouldn't effect her colts, so she will still be fine for breeding stock. Come and get her NR or arrange for the transport. You need to come down to the Winter Stockshow in Rapid City this Jan/Feb, anyway, so you can pick her up then.

Here is the chesnut colt "Chink" that started out a sorrel, Judith.

Here is a full brother to the crooked nose filly.

Here's the filly I bought this fall.

I had a hard time taking pix as they didn't want to stand very well.

And here's a horse I bought a year ago. Go ahead and pick him apart and tell me what all is wrong with him. I ain't real sure how well I like him yet. Time will tell. After you all offer your thoughts, I'll tell you what he is and how he's bred. He will turn 3 in the spring.

I don't think any of these pictures tell the true story on any of these horses, but that's all I could get. I ain't no Larry Larson, with horse pictures! :lol:

Thanks Jinglebob! I still say hang on to him You sure he's not grey ( yes I am being a smart bum) Do you still feel he is a bit thick in the throat? Ya cant see it in photos. I figure if you can cram your fist up in there he'll be just fine! The picture with the bigger bay peekin at the filly is sooo adorable!

He's thicker than I would like to see. I like them pencil necked rascals, who look good packin' a spade in a straight up rig.

And that ain't the filly the big draft horse is peekin' at.

You didn't tell me what you thought of the one in the last two pictures. I want everyone to critic him and tell me what they really think. Go ahead, I can take it. :wink:

 

[Judith]

No, Now upon closer inspection I see we do not have a filly there. ( i should no before shootin off my mouth to check under there The neck should have been the give away Nothing there not to like though! I like em!

 

[DJL]

He's just too homely, and he has a white foot to boot, so I guess I'll just have to come and get him out of your sight JB!

Weeelll, for the right price, you can sure have him. I'd prefer to wait until about next August tho'.

And I hate that damn white foot! :x

He's probably a real little powerhouse, but I think he's too short in
the hip. Probably too thick in the neck, too. But I like his legs and
feet, what I can see. And I don't mind his head either.

His neck ties in to his chest really low in front, I just noticed.
That looks rather odd.

Where he came from, all the horses were built just like him.

I kind of like ol cooked nose and her brother.. Couldn't tell you why, they just seem "different" and remember this is coming from the horse idiot in the back of he room.. The black hrned critter in the back ground reminds me of the 1/2 Maine 1/2 Dexter bull I sold this sping.. Thick SOB weighed as much as an Angus bull that had 6 inches on him.

 

[L.E. Stevens]

For what its worth, just for the "pretty" aspect of it, I don't like his head. I think that it makes him look heavy up front. Good underline & real nice set to his hocks, ought to be handy.

 

[katrina]

I really like the sorrel with the blaze... The rest I would say was to coarse and thick... But looks are only skin deep.... I've seen alot of ugly really good riding horses and alot of pretty horses that weren't worth a damn...

He looks good to me, Jinglebob. The only place I'd fault him is that he only has one white leg instead of all four, and higher "stockings" would be my preference. :wink: There is no prettier horse color in my book than a stocking-legged blaze-faced bay, and they are kind of hard to come by.

Yup, I got to agree with you, but I hate white feet. I was amazed when Saddle Tramp told me that in your country, white feet are great as they don't need trimming as often. Around here, there are enough rocks and sanf and gravel, that white feet can be a problem, if your using one a lot.

And I know that there are white feet and then there are white feet. The darker ones or the striped ones seem to do fine.

My ol' bay has got white striped feet in back and white socks. He got into some corn, overnight, one time and his front feet (which are black) chipped off real bad and almost acted like they were sluffing off the outer part. Tried to get him shod, but he kept throwing the shoes off. I got a pair of Easyboots and just put them on when I rode him and got along fine. He still seems to have "shelly" feet in front. I very seldom ever trim his or any other of our horses, back feet. They seem to pretty much stay worn down. All but "Little Buck", the Indian pony. In the spring, I always have to trim a bunch off him, front and back. Kind'a hard to do, on them shorter horses. Sure am glad I ain't a horse shoer! :lol:

 

[the_jersey_lilly_2000]

White feet do ok here too. We are sandy. They seem to wear off fairly even and don't have to be trimmed as often as the black feet horses. Summer time is hard on the black feet horses or so it seems. I guess because their hooves get really dry and seem to crack more, even tho they have a stock tank and are in the water when they drink. It's not bad, but you can tell the difference.

I find that white one's chip/split higher on the solid whites. Seems I'm forever doin touch-ups on solid white feet. The black feet might chip alittle, but nothing like the solid whites. I got a couple head that have striped hooves that act more like dark ones. When its dry, the stripes & black trim like grindin rocks. The whites can be done with a butter knife.

OMG, JingleBob!!!!!! He looks so much like my first 4-H horse, it's not even funny!

Ole Traveller was a mustang, just a using horse, but he was darn sure a good one. He did have a spooky streak about seventeen miles wide, but was a dang good cowhoss!

If ya don't want too much for him, maybe we can dicker when we get up there. :wink:

 

[peg4x4]

I like him-"white foot"," thick neck" and all ..looks like he'll do anything you want him to...

 

[Jinglebob]

OK, here's "the rest of the story". :lol:

That is the horse we drove clear to California to buy last year. He was turned with the mares this summer, even tho' he was only 2. (they gott'a earn their keep around here. :wink: )

He's a Smart Little Lena, Doc Bar, Peppy San Badger, Dry Doc bred horse. Where he come from, all the horse were built like him, only a lot bigger and man! they really had the moves! He's built different than I am used to, but if he turns out like the half brothers I seen out there, I will like him fine.

They are still showing his sire and he's somewhere over $50,000 won in cutting and working cowhorse.

I sent him to a guy who is really getting good at starting (and finishing) these horses and when I picked him up , he was real high on him. Said he was real handy and had a real good mind. I asked if he was good enought to turn with the mares and he sure thought he was. And he's pretty fussy. :lol:

Only time will tell if he's as good as I hope. Thanks for all the comments.

Hey Jinglebob.

He's a great using horse. Built to go all day and last forever. I'd rather ride a zillion of his type than these goofy "perfectly conformed or ideally or halter type or whatever" peanut rollers that I get in for training. Nothing like a quarter horse with 00 feet to make em last about 2 seconds when ya start riding them. I like my horses to be user friendly, to me that is ideal conformation. He's a good one, however that sorrel, um chestnut critter is a "great" one. In a year you'll see. ( of course that means he will have to live that long,) I don't know about you but my best ones always do something really dum and get hurt! :shock:

Glad you like him. I hope I will.

As for the Chesnut, "Chink",(his daddy's name was "Chinaman") I'll bet he'll be around for awhile. He got cut up 3 times this summer, so maybe he's past all that.


I hope.
