The kids are growing up! Gatsby's a big boy now!!

And fading out. You can still see a few of his white markings but not too many and not without shoving your face right up and getting the light just right. But he's turning out to be an absolute doll of a horse. Very friendly, sensible and just an all round good guy to work around..... with funny eyes.




and




and he still hangs around mum sometimes. For a minute or two.




I must also include the two kids playing. Ripley beats up Gatsby more than the other way around... but as he's bulking up that is definitely changing.




And doncha love when the garbage truck comes by, instant attention getting, ears pricked forward, what the heck is that, sorta shots.




I've got some more to go through and see what I've got but I just wanted to post a few. I'm so proud of my kids!

btw before anybody says some of the pictures aren't the best - agreed. I've got a cast on and can only hobble so quick in a 4 acre field. Some of them are at a wrong angle but I'm trying. His are better than Ripleys (which I'm just going through now) It doesn't help that she still looks like a formerly buckskin molting chicken! (check out the cream leg warmers over the black points on her legs )

Ok so there ya go, excuses firmly in place and thanks for reading.

They both look great....Tell me about Ripley again....who is her dam???? The molting chicken will soon pass and she'll become a GOLDEN SWAN!!!

Completely understand about the hobbling around. My guys are on six and a half not including when I let them go next door to the neighbor's "jungle", decent shots are few and far between!

Thanks for the nice comments. I love my kids.

As brought up on another board, for those that didn't see him as a kid (before the genetics Gods made him fade ) he's a pretty colourful guy.



and at a week while you could still see his markings





I think Cleverly Concealed describes him well.
