Foal pics
Hey everyone!
Here's a couple of pics of the foal I've been lucky enough to be able to buy - he is 4 months old here and obviously still with Mum. They were taken at the foal evaluation championships in the dressage class, which is what I want him for eventually. The trot is not as powerful as it could be or was previously due to a butt high growth spurt! (Which is also why i'm not posting any current pics as he is very very woolly and all legs, bum and tum!!) Still gorgeous though!
Bit about his parents - he is by Pro-Set who you can peek at on www.meadowstud.com and out of a really lovely tempered mare who is registered Dutch Warmblood though she never competed due to injury, the sire is competing Inter II and about to go Grand Prix.
Here goes......sorry about the links but posting behind a cut won't work no matter what code from photobucket I use or how I try!!!

Let me know what you think and if any of you have any foal handling tips I would be grateful to hear them! At the minute he leads ok, picks his feet up to be picked out and has been rasped once and wears a rug. He ties up with a hay net fine and I've not done anymore than that cos I think he needs to enjoy his foal-hoodbut still respect people and being handled a little - any thoughts?!
