Congratulations. Hanoverians are pretty big horses, right? How big is the foal?
Good morning.
We have a slim chance for a freeze tonight, but probably will be in the mid 30's....Buuurrrrrrr...I thought we were done with the cold.

Mornin' Becky,
Supposed to be chilly here, too, 40's or so.
I finally got to ride Tuffy a little this past week, first time in months. He did really well, even picked up both leads when I asked. He did do a little crow hopping but it never got worse than that. My oldest daughter rode him and he did well for her, too. I need to post a pic of her riding him, she looks like a flea up there.
We're ALSO supposed to have 'winter weather' tonight. GROSS. They're calling for snow tomorrow. (sigh)
Well, I spoke too soon - we now have Freya, a filly. And yes, Hanoverians can get some size. Our 4 year old gelding, Fergus is approx. 17.3 hands. Big handsome guy with a great personality. He's for sale, too. Trained for two years up to entry level dressage.
We acquired Meara, the Hanoverian mare from a woman up in BC. The deal is that we foal her out, the owner gets the foal and we get to keep the mare. Not a bad trade, since we've got some ambitious breeding plans for Meara.
Well, it's early yet and I don't think that daughter's got the pix downloaded to a family server share yet. We'll post 'em later on today.
