Well that 10 days went by fast! Since I last posted we had major temperature swings in the weather- cold nights, warm days, then cold days, then warm days- gah! But we are on the upswing now.
Beamer and Belle got their blankets off a few days ago; I'm sure they appreciated that!
The short portion of her mane is how much it has grown since September, that was all rubbed out. I love all the colours she has in her mane.
Yes Velvet, you also have a beautiful mane.
One of the reasons for my delay in posting is that I planned a trip up to see Shayla and take photos of a couple horses she is selling. First up is her paint colt, Zipper.
Speaking of manes, his is sure colourful!
Zipper is a really good minded colt who is going to be really, I mean really, big.
He's a weanling and is already up to Shayla's shoulder! I didn't get a lot of photos of him because we wanted to concentrate on Boe photos. Yes, he was put up for sale. We took him to the round pen for the photo session.
He's literally the spitting image of Beamer only in red. He carries himself beautifully, and even yawns like his daddy!
We also worked him in hand a little. Just following the feel of the lead rope, and he was beautifully soft.
I'm pretty proud of the quality of foals Beamer sires off different mares. They are all good horses!
Anyway, our work paid off; Shayla posted him on FB and he was sold within a day and a half! He will be going to a working cattle ranch only an hour from here.
Beautiful boy
He might be leaving but I think we will be able to follow his progress as both his owner and the lady who will be starting him are on FB. The trainer's page is Anchor S Equine.

interesting mane on the paint horse👍neat colors!
My favorite color: a smart horse.
I can see why he went fast!
I love it when horses get to go become working animals. I think it is good for them!
:)
That Boe is a real looker! He moves well too! Hope he went to people that will appreciate him. We are warming up here above freezing during the day!
Boe had beautiful movement. They're both handsome! That was a fast sell, and I hope to see more of how he progresses. You're looking good, too, Shirley! The North country agrees with you.
Lovely babies. That red colt sure is nice looking and seems to have a quiet manner.
Boe is just gorgeous!! You got some great photos! They made/make a difference. If only we had more time and could keep them all! I look forward to updates on him.
You/your hair look great by the way. I wish my hair would gradually salt-n-pepper. Nope. My thinning hair (runs in my family) would be a very aging solid white, decades ago. Oh well, at least I have hair lol.
Thanks for the update!
