Meet my new guy

QHLuver · 09-04-2008, 12:34 PM

I just got this guy on Sunday. He is a 4 yro old QH (I'd say a cross by looking at him) stallion, soon to be gelding. I would say he is about 14 or 14.1. He is so incredibly sweet, and very smart. He is not broke, but I have been round penning him and have saddled him.
Here he is when I got him (yes those are all burdocks in his tail, took 3 hours to get them out!)

And after some grooming:

I am amazed how much hair he has! It drags about 3 or 4 inches on the ground!

ThorArb · 09-04-2008, 12:36 PM

He is very cute! Congrats on your new addition.

GoinToTell · 09-04-2008, 12:38 PM

Look at all that tail!!! WOW I would have worked 4 hours to save that as well! He looks cute under saddle! Looks super sweet too!

**gbarmranch** · 09-04-2008, 12:38 PM

WOW look at that tail... I love him.. what a sweet eye.. lucky for him he now has a good home and a good future..

Ok now we know how to get their tails to grow longer

Maybe i will leave those things in my daughters mares tail next time she gets them and quit spending money on bands

carmor07 · 09-04-2008, 12:50 PM

Oh btw.He is handsome

Crookedblaze · 09-04-2008, 01:01 PM

He is a very handsome little man! And whoo doggy, without those burrs he has a gorgeous mane and tail!

cameo05 · 09-04-2008, 01:36 PM

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE that tail. Gorgeous.

KatieMae · 09-04-2008, 01:45 PM

Whoa! What a tail! He's a looker

QHLuver · 09-05-2008, 06:13 AM

Thanks guys! I am in love with his tail too

He is such a sweet little guy, you wouldn't know he isn't cut yet. I got on him for the first time last night and he was perfect, just wandered around the roundpen practicing turning and stoppping. I'm really happy with him, I've never had anything so easy to train! He picks up on everything soo soo fast.

What do you all think he might be crossed with if anything at all? To me he looks like he has some mustang in him or maybe old style morgan?

Freedomnchrist · 09-05-2008, 09:52 AM

Holy cow!

What a tail.

I second the Morgan and Mustang cross.

He is going to make an awesome gelding and riding horse!

WhisperStables · 09-05-2008, 10:09 AM

He looks great! I too love that tail. Better get him a tail bag though.

Berry · 09-05-2008, 10:12 AM

Very handsome...I, too, love the long tail. Good work!

rm185western · 09-05-2008, 10:17 AM

Now that is one heck of a tail, and it's attatched to a real cutie as well

What did you use to get those dang burdocks out?? Yesterday when I was laid up the boys kindly took down the cross fence in the horses paddock, and Max looks nearly that bad already, and the other two aren't a lot better

QHLuver · 09-05-2008, 11:41 AM

rm185western- about a gallon of show sheen!

Chickadee · 09-05-2008, 11:55 AM

I wish my hair was that thick and long. He's a very pretty boy. Congratulations!

horsemom4 · 09-05-2008, 01:35 PM

What a nice looking boy! Those burdocks are like hair rollers!!!

ahlihaff · 09-05-2008, 05:40 PM

He's a nice looking boy. That tail is something else - so long and thick - beautiful.
