...because she was just having too much fun!   Jet is my three year old Warm Springs filly. I'd take more pics of my Kiger, but they all look the same; head hanging, avoiding eye contact, pretending there's no one there so we don't have to risk someone touching your face... Okay, maybe one not so sulky face.  |

Desperatehorsewife, You always post such wonderful pictures. I love the effect of her running. I took this one yesterday. The one with the face in the feed pan is mine. They are both QH/Kiger crosses, both have Charro as their sire.  They are such hams, they make me laugh everytime I go out there. |

Oh, BTW, the above two fillies are NOT grey - both are dunalinos: red base + creme + dun....
Lynn.......hmmmmm, seem to always see YOUR horses looking for something to eat! Poor starven' babies!
This pict does show Solana has a few inches on Amada! I would not be surprised if she hit 16 hands!

I know...my poor skinny horses that never get fed! Solana is definetly going to be a big girl. It is hard to believe she will be 2 in April! For the longest time it was really hard to see her stripes, but I got a dorsal stripe yesterday. I also think that she has several leg bars and some neck bars, but those pictures didn't turn out as well. Here is her dorsal.  |

 Our QH Junior is also a Dunalino. He's registered Palomino because they didn't have a name for that color when he was born. Makes you wonder on his bloodline, all the palominos that are on it if they were really dunalinos |

Give the Kigers some time, they'll get there  Then when they decide you're not so bad after all, you'll progress to I suppose I can hang around you some and then on to... Hey! I'm following youuuu, don't you see me? Got anything for me? Oh by the way, I got an itch right here, can you take care of it? Is that carrots I smell? Oops didn't mean to step on the back of your foot, Hey, turn around, I need some attention here! |

Oh, she's followed me a couple of times...ears pinned back, teeth barred, nose snaked out in a hissy mare sort of way. Until I turned around to look at her, which is when she pretended once more she couldn't see me. I've never had a snarky mare before, but me thinks I've got one now  Doesn't look like rain today, so I think we'll be looking for an attitude adjustment. |

lol love this conversation. I have one of those snarky mares she is my black and white paint who is pregnant. she is something else. the other day she and stormy were turned out together in the paddock and they wold lay their ears back turn on each other and try to kick each other, but were never close enough to connect, she won't let us catch her unless she wants it and thinks it is funny when we have to work at it. After the baby is born she is going to get worked and worked till that attitude changes. which i know can take a while but a bit everyday will do wonders.

This is the only horse I ever had that I could truly say was a turd, but he took some nice pictures! He was stubborn, vindictive and would get so angry his whole neck would turn pink and his eyes bloodshot. I had a ranch owner tell me the reason I had trouble was because I didn't know how to handle him. After about fifteen or twenty minutes in the large arena with him the fellow brought him back and said I had an unmanagable horse. I said Oh really, got on him and rode him away, but he really was a stinker for sure. These pics are basically from birth to adulthood in three pics    And yep he was a true 'medicine hat' |

He's a beautiful horse. What eventually became of him? Was his sire a difficult horse, or was his personality all his own?
Love the pictures, everyone.

I ended up selling him because I just didn't have the time to really devote to him. He needed basically daily attention and I couldn't do it. One funny story though.... I had two horses at the time and my husband and I went on a two hour trail ride. I rode Sinclair (the one pictured above) and he rode Vista (both paints so we named them after paint companies). The ride was a televised one where the mayor was along and everything. We trailered our horses out to equal about a two hour ride. As all the horses were unloading, I noticed another horse that was almost identical to Sinclair, at first glance they could have been. At one point during the ride, I brought Sinclair up next to Vista on the right and the fellow on the identical horse came up on the left (it wasn't set up that way, just happened). Vista looked to her right, then left then right then left and you could tell she was trying to figure out how Sinclair was on both sides of her. Finally the fellow had to move on because it was freaking Vista out. Once she was back to just one Sinclair she calmed back down again.
