May I ask what the exercise was suppose to accomplish?

What is the gestation period of a gold fish? Mom is trippin that her fish might be knocked up.

[Duchess47]

This poor baby is being advertised as tri-colored -

So is this guy, although I think he's a bay.

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

I googled Tri colored paint horses and got this:

The heading of the pictures was "Flashy Tri Colored Paint. He is for sale, a 3 year old, 17 hands, $8000.

Here you go. We were looking at a pic a few months ago and it was all the length of the dark. Eddie says he's going to trim it all short tomorrow.

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

LOL:)

Becky

[CindyDawg]

I didn't think they gestated. She's gonna have fish everywhere.:')

[HairOfTheDog]

Eddie says he's going to trim it all short tomorrow.

Caution.... I know he thinks it looks funny now, but it will look worse if you cut it. It will be thick at the ends and it may just stand straight up. It's better to pull it short than trim it. If there's show people there, someone can show you how to do that. I'd prolly just leave it though, it will grow back.

Okie has 3 colors in his mane. black/blond/brown

[Duchess47]

Great minds and all that :)

[CindyDawg]

I told him. He said he'll just leave it alone.

[HairOfTheDog]

I think they're just bays with white spots...
But I wouldn't object to them being called tri :~D

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

Oh, I don't object, I was just curious if there was anything official about it. I'd call him a tri.

Becky

[Duchess47]

I think the picture Becky and I found is a bay but I think Okie is tri-colored. If he were a bay, his legs would be dark and his mane would only be white and black - I think.

"Flashy Tri Colored Paint. He is for sale, a 3 year old, 17 hands, $8000.

Paint? 17 HH at 3? He looks part draft. What a hefty horse.... I'd love to have him ;~D

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

yeah, that's what I meant too. I think Okie comes closer to being a tri then the one we found for sale.

I need some advice. Tonight I went out to the barn and saddled up Waylon to go out on the trail. That damn horse would not go down the trail !!!

I spent an hour at least trying to get him to move forward towards the path. He woulnd't go. So I would turn him in circles and try again. No dice.

He trail rides all the time at the cabin so I don't know what the big deal was. I finally gave up. Any ideas?

[HairOfTheDog]

Did you try to lead him there?

Was he spooky and blowing or was he reluctant to move?

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

Well, was he thowing a fit to not go down the trail, running backwards, spinning around etc...or was he just sulling up, standing still and not moving at all?
