New Horse

For all the horse folks out there I picked up a new horse a while back. A 3yo Percheron. Of course the guy I got the horse from claims he is broke to drive and green broke to ride. This was the second time I rode him a round pen

this is a pic of the percheron in the trailer with my 1000 pound appy

the horse should end up weighing in at close to a ton

I don't know much about horses either but they are beautiful animals.

Those two sentiments pretty much sum up how I feel about women....

Ranger Horned Toad,

Nice to meet a fellow rider. That's a beautiful animal you got there.

Julie is onto something here! I'm with you Julie, I love women too! I have also ridden many in my day, and it ain't horses! Hay!

Nice lookin Black. Looks like he's in good shape. (I'll figure he's a gelding till ya tell us different.) He about 17/3? Also looks like ya got a nice herd.

I've got a team of Belgians, both geldings. 3 and 4 year olds. Also have a Standardbred, Foxtrotter, and 4 Walkers. The wife and I ride a lot and I mess with the team around the farm. Also do my training in the round pen.

What are your plans for him?

He is around 17.2 hand right now which is about 70" at the shoulder.

I was told 17.1 when I got him, I got a rough measurement at 17.2 and I think he is a bit taller. When I got him you could put your hand between his ribs and his backbone was showing real bad. He has put on aot of weight but has a ways to go.

I got him to work on my training skill, but he will end up a trail horse like all my others.

Damn!!! Can I ride the Percheron if I come visit??

My legs might reach halfway down his sides... ;) He's gorgeous, Ranger HT. :D Thanks for posting pics.

Oh, and Stacked_and_Racked, that was the funniest thing I've heard in ages.
