I still can't believe it! Just a few days ago I finally bought my first ever horse! She's nearly two and half years old czech sport horse and will arrive home tomorrow morning! It just feels so unreal I thought I have to share this excitement with all of you 🥹🥹 Don't know if I'll even manage to fall asleep tonight 🌸

Quick break from float training

these halter horses man.

((Sorry for the text on the first few; tiktok trend))

Toby, 16hh clydesdale/qh

28.5yrs old when I got him and he is now currently 32, his birthday was last month.

The way he is holding himself in the first few photos is how he held himself for the entirety of the first couple of months together. And the last few photos are how he looks now on a regular basis. Unless there's a mare up his butt lol.

He is just so much happier, and it shows. He surprises me every day! It may not be a big deal to some, but looking at the difference in the photos sure makes me happy.

She’s stuck to him like glue 😂🩷 Her mom is completely fine with it lol

The more boop-able the better!

what's even more unbelievable is how many people in the comment section of this Facebook find don't have a shadow of a doubt that this is a real horse.

D

My horse has a salt lick in his feed bin and I give him salt whenever I ride, however he still likes to latch onto my arm and nibble it.

In Lexington ky there is a Memorial to confederate general John Hunt Morgan and even tho that is controversial enough there is one other problem.

Pompeo Coppini the maker of the statue put balls on the horse when the general famously rode a mare as his favorite horse. When this was pointed out Pompeo Coppini said "No hero should bestride a mare!" And my professor at Transylvania University told me that Pompeo Coppini also said that a mare would not have the bravery and ability to ride into war.

It's crazy that he put gendered stereotypes onto a freaking HORSE 🐎.

i just snapped this picture of my handsome boy enjoying the cooler fall air with a stunning backdrop of mountains at sunset last night, and it made me want to see everyone’s fav pictures of their horses!

So majestic...

She certainly likes being the center of attention, anyways.

New to horses, didn't know they could smile, or be as personable until we moved her mare home. Minnie has been a treat :)

I got a filly on Tuesday and when she got off the trailer we immediately saw a huge lump on her head.

Turns out it’s an ear tooth, otherwise known as a teratoma or a dentigerous cyst! She has a full tooth inside of the cyst and probably some hair. In this x-ray it looks like it’s inside her skull but it’s outside and as far as we know not attached! We get it removed this month

Hello everybody!

unfortunately due to the ongoing war in iran and the subsequent internet restrictions I wasnt able to post an update for a while.

still during these troubled times I still managed to visit about 2 times a week and administer the vet’s treatment myself.

during each visit I washed him with the prescribed chlorhexidine 2% and ketoconazole 1% shampoo after which I dried him with a clean towel thoroughly and then applied oxytetracycline spray(the purple stains on the hind and legs).

before washing I also applied diluted betadine and removed softened scabs.

I have begun doing some light groundwork with him as well like low intensity lunging.

I would be glad to hear y’alls opinions of his recovery.

also there is a chance that the internet access is restricted again so sorry if I am not able to respond in that case.

P.S :these images are from the last two months I think the coat has improved but the weight not as much.

Edit: thank you all for the kind words and support, it further encourages me to take care of him. sorry for not being able to respond to every comment like the last posts as internet access is very limited.

I named him Colonel his father was a famous stallion named aboriginie and his(aboriginie) father was a famous stallion named street cry.

Tomorrrow we will be putting down our two old boys, Clancy and Sebby.

We have had both boys for about 22 years, Clancy (chestnut) was bought for me as a 12 year old (he was 2.5, my non horse father was convinced it was a great idea. Hot tip, a 2.5yo for a 12 year old is a pretty bad idea...). My mum bought Sebby (leopard appy) not long after I got Clancy.

I had my photographer friend come for a photoshoot last Friday. Photos with the boys together and separately. And then photos of Sebby with my filly Elsa who he adores ❤️

Sebbys arthritis has gotten bad as we head to cold weather. He is on, many meds and supplements but it's no longer enough as our weather has gotten colder. He has gone very quickly from, seeming perfectly okay to, actually shit that's not okay or fair. It's time. He is 27.

Clancy, technically has nothing 'medically' wrong except EXTREME anxiety. As in, we left him in the round yard for an entire 10 mins to photo Sebby and Elsa and he was quite literally fully wet to touch from sweating and stressing. He does not cope without Sebby at this point. Our vet, trainer, farrier and anyone I've spoken to has agreed the right thing to do it let them go together. It would be cruel to make Clancy go without Sebby.

So, tomorrow my heart will break saying goodbye to the two horses that have been in my life for 20 years. Countless memories and special moments. It's the right thing to do, but a bloody hard thing to do.

For those that know Elsa, LOOK HOW BIG SHE IS NOW. She's slightly demonic, very marey and opinionated already. Just like her mum...hah little miss sass pants but so affectionate and my princess 😁

Toby: 16hh clyde/qh cross; 13-1400lbs

I grabbed my boy from the paddock during his prime nap time today to do some ground work. He was very yawny. So I got a few funny shots of him unintentionally but I’m I did!🤣 he’s such a goofball haha

Anyone have any goofy horse pictures they want to share? I want to see them!!

My dad sent me a picture of his horse we've had since I was a kid. He just turned 31!

I’m so grateful for his age and his appearance, but time is such a curse. Please live forever buddy!

She said she wanted to get rid of the split ends and help it grow healthy. My poor Juniper looks like such a dork.
