Spotty: Tana's New Colt!!

[dcwolcott]

Tee hee!

How tall do you expect him to be?  I'm thinking you said he would be "B" sized?  We'll have to find someone raising the larger miniatures...hm....I'll have to put on my thinking cap!

He'll probably push the limits, so maybe someone that does CDEs.  Sport ponies? 
Monte was 37" at time to take permanent.  My mares are 38" and Topper is 35.75".

Spotty had his first vaccination today, naughty boy and naughty me, I need to get to work and do lots more halter training, he was a stinker, but no one got hurt, even when he threw himself on the ground in a hissy fit (sometimes a winter's long poo pile is a good thing, soft landing).

HA!!!!

Lol , typical male throwing a tantrum when he doesnt get his own way hahahaha

[paintponylvr]

OMG, U guys are 2 funny!!!!!  ("soft landing", typical male<tantrum>)...

and some more pics are in order.  I understand not though - I'm having troubles with both phone and camera taking pics lately...  Larry took apart my phone case and cleaned up the "eyes" for me (on the case & the phone), but I'm not sure how much good it did.  Think it needs to be done to the camera, too.

[Chanda]

Managed to head and neck clip Spotty, much less drama than trying to give him a vaccination.  He seemed to almost enjoy it.  Although, afterwards, he really didn't want to have anything to do with pics, so just a couple to show is nekked neck.

What a HANDSOME colt!!!!  I just love these pictures of him growing up, and he's really stunning, Chanda.

I was babysitting Friday night and all day yesterday, so away from my computer, so I missed seeing these!  FABULOUS!!

[Chanda]

Thank you.

[paintponylvr]

He looks VUNDERBAR! (wonderful)

and he also looks like he's developing more body white?  Any clues as to how much he can develop?  But he won't go full boyd white like a leopard app will he?

[dcwolcott]

He is definitely adding white, and could wind up a near leopard -- they usually have darker necks, but more white towards the shoulders.  Right now, he's definitely expanding that blanket and spots!  Such a pretty boy!

[Chanda]

Yes, his white does seem to be expanding forward.  I have no idea about how appy patterning works, other than varnish will continue to roan as they age til they lose most color except for on the bony prominences.
thank you.

[Holly]

Very nice!!

Hope I don't end up with a pintaloosa pony...   Spotty is all moony-eyed over my 20 year old, 15.2H APHA mare.  They share a water tank, with diagonal adjacent corners at the tank, not side-by-side.   Hope he doesn't go swimming.
