WoW everyone has some very nice horses! I thought I would add my 2 cents with a few pics.
This is my (hopefully) cow horse to be Olenas Dun With Doc. A.K.A...Honey, shes my rags to riches pony(free weanling) She has Doc O'Lena, Doc Athena & Buds Doc Olena on her papers and Doc Bar, Waggoner Royal, Son Of A Doc, and Sugar Bars to name a few just off (4th gen) The first pic is of her when I got her @ 5 months old
And this is her after being in my care for 60 days
Her playing cowhorse all on her own in the pasture.
1. Spies the COWS!
2. Sizes em up.......
3. Spies something a bit more 'her' size. She pushed this lil guy around for awhile nice in slow and steady, then the lil bugger thought he'd had enough and tried to make a break for it and she quick as a cat hopped in front of him spun him and cut him off.
Shes going to be 3 this year...so when it warms up here and everyone looking slick again I'll have to take some newer pics and show her off a lil, she really has grown into a nice filly and I cant wait to get her started( either this fall or next spring as she doesnt turn 3 until july)

Not with out MENTAL Troubles -Faster horses said:
Careful Started her out on Low Quality Feeds and and brought her along slowly But she was never the same. She always loaded in a trailer easy - wehn I went to pick her up (on good Hill Pasture) she throw herself over backwards and broke her shoulder - I put her down
P.S.
The man that had Leasted her was a LAW OFFICER so the SPCA refused to go after him - even with all the Facts we had...

How awful.
I guess the moral to the story is...if you own them, go check on them...we trust our friends and hopefully we can...but it still pays
to check on our animals when they are under someone elses care...
I think I'm going to have a local animal abuse story to tell one of
these days. Why do people have animals if they don't want to take
care of them?

I agree with the others, this is a fun thread. I can see there are a lot of folks here who ride good horses. I'll add some of mine.
We raised a gorgeous, really quick, cowy mare by Frosty Feature out of a Stage Bar Ted mare that qualified for the 2006 AQHA World Show in Tie Down Roping. Some of you might remember I posted the story and pictures after we got back from Oklahoma City in November, 2006.
http://ranchers.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=161600&highlight=#161600
She's raising colts now. Here's Pepsy:
Following the World Show I bred her to Night Time Shiner, a Shining Spark son out of a War Leo daughter, raised by Carol Rose who was a 3 time World Qualifier in Working Cow Horse where he came in third once:
The mating resulted in this filly. She is two now and I will start riding her this spring:
The mare gave birth to another Night Time Shiner foal a year ago, a full sister to the palomino filly but is black this time.
The black mare, her mother and a half sister are bred to foal this spring, to Bill & Deb Myers' stallion, World Speed, a Streakin Six son out of a Dash for Cash daughter.
http://www.frenchmansguy.com/FrenchmansGuy.html
Needless to say, I've been counting the days all winter!
A full sister of the black mare with a nice line-bred colt by a Frosty Feature stud of mine. I started riding him last summer and fall. He is coming along very nicely:
Here is a Feature Jack daughter we raised out of an Easy Six bred mare that I ride and really like. She's darned cowy and a real sweetheart. I've tried breeding her twice but have been unsuccessful so far. Although disappointed, I've enjoyed riding her instead. If someone better than me took her, she could follow in the black mare's footsteps:
Sarge is out of the black mare's mother by my Frosty Feature stud who goes back to Easy Six on the dam side. This is the horse I was riding at Soapweed's Spearhead Ranch last week in the blowing snow. I've borrowed this "chilly" photo from Soapy. This is just a really nice ranch horse, as level headed as any that walks on four feet. Like someone else said earlier: not great at anything, just good at everything. A little bit too tall though, for a short guy to crawl on with heavy clothes:
A glance at several others that are solid ranch horses. The gray is Bandit, another Feature Jack son out of the black mare's mother. He and Sarge are 3/4 brothers:
A tough ole booger that tossed me and broke some ribs, just moments after these pictures were taken:
Since I raise 4-5 foals each year, I've got about 25 others eating a lot of hay, some we ride, some are brood mares, colts, yearlings, etc. but no other pictures available at this time.

You aren't a little horse poor are you JF? 
You have some nice stock. That black mare is something else.
Your Sarge horse would be a real winter horse up here.

Yes, we have her. I've had several good offers to sell her, but she doesn't owe me a cent and I'm bent on raising colts. Did you check out the link to the World Speed horse she and her mother are bred to? Bill Myers let me ride him and he was flat out impressive. A big, good lookin' sonofagun with a lot of action. He is a heck of a lot of horse.

Yeah, it's easy to get that way. To be real honest, one colt each year would be plenty for me to deal with. But... I happen to like horses. Somewhere in this equation I need to start making some money with them!

Hey it worked this time.
I remember that black mare as I showed her to JF's Dad when he was here.
Great looking bunch of horses. My daughter has a brown mare that has had 2 palaminos and this year;s filly is a black.
Looks like we ride the same saddle.

I loned out my one of my cracker fillys to a youngin this winter. Mainly to get some saddle time on her. She soon got poor from lack of feed and I got her back and she's fine and comein back. I've wormed her with safe guard 3 time in one week and will do it this week to. But in the before pic of a horse inthis forum. It shows this little neglected mare with what looks like belly fat. My filly did that to. Its not sore at all and feals like fat. Its goin away but not gone yet. The horse in the after pic has hers gone. My cusin called it baby belly. Said it had somethin to do with blood wormes. Yall got any ideas? I can post a pic or her belly. Got 2 in my blackberry now.

I think that pot bellied look happens when the nutrition hasn't been what the foal needs to grow properly.
Kinda like the pot bellied people you see in nations where people are starving.
Humans, animals, especially young ones, need nutrition. They
just can't eat nothing of value and have something to digest.
In the foals case, I'd say it
had forage that wasn't digestible and lacked nutrients.
As a result they eat a lot of roughage they can't digest and get a big belly.
