Classic K Miniatures thread. pics and updates on my mini's

[cassie]

Nice pix of the kids, Cassie. It's funny when our guys are all loosing their winter fuzz to

see your kids all fuzzing up for the winter.

Man I wish I was a brave as you, getting Finn gelded, to move forward on gelding Zakky.

I am chicken and Michael is being 'such a guy' about it.

It's going to have to be done sooner than later but......

Guess when having had all fillies this part of wanting a boy was stuffed to the back of my mind.

Thanks nancy

haha yeah I know lol all yours are getting nice n sleek n mine are turning into fluff balls maybe I should start calling them Kirby's lol

Yeah I was very nervous n even more so with Finns previous colic issues :s the last two days he has been quite not himself so. Put them onto some really really nice grass during the day n last night he seemed much better

My main reason for doing it was so Finn could stay with the girls... Smartie only likes girl companions so Finn had to be gelded cos otherwise he would have been by himself

Yes Cassie your kids are looking great, Smarty is a gorgeous boy

Thank you Renee

they sure are fluffing up now lol I love my man, glad you all think he is nice too

Great pictures, Cassie! I love the one of Smartie with Finn 'visiting!' Thanks for sharing!

Hey Pam, thank you

hehe yeah I love it too so happy I just caught that one

smartie looks so huge compared to Finn even though he is only 14.2 hh but I guess compared to Finns little 28" that is massive hehe

Thanks for all your kind words everyone going to try registering them soon

but I still can't decide on a stud name lol do you think they would let me post a poll on the main forum? I can't decide between Kingston miniatures, Kingston acres or Kingston park lol any other suggestions? I like parts of all of them but can't decide on just one lol n hopefully my friend is copping to see Finn n Suzie soon n tell me what she thinks

she is head of mini pony society NSw n only lives 5 min down the road I'm hoping she will tell me he likes them.... She is the one with that gorgeous sex bomb Appaloosa buckskin stallion

hehe

I still like Kingston Park Cassie - and your furry furkids are lookng great!!

 

[LittleRibbie]

Ive always loved Kingston Park too!!

BTW That Smartie is one awesome looking horse..he looks terrific and i bet he could hold his own with the younger horses as he is right now...you've really got him looking fab!!

 

[Equuisize]

Kingston Park :::: is my vote if you're doing a poll. Has a nice sound to it.

Go get those registration papers in the mail LOL

Yes, I think that is why Zakky would be so happy to be de-boyed.

Then he could go out and play with his sisters and also his Dad would be happier

not having what he might perceive as competition, someday down the road.

They get along so well now but it's in the back of my mind, someday Zee isn't going

to find him such good company.

Good to hear Finn came thru it well. That natural green grass grazing just cannot be

under estimated as to how good it is for them.

 

[Wings]

I'd try and go with just Kingston, leaves more letters free for the horse name

 

[mthowdy]

Alright, after weeks of reading posts, I have FINALLY caught up on your thread Cassie!

I just love your horses- Finn is adorable! He looks like a little hooved teddy bear

I like Kingston Park, by the way.

 

[cassie]

My vote is still Kingston Park!

Am I getting old and senile?? Didn't we have this conversation, my dear?

haha no Diane your not getting old and senile we did have this conversation LOL I was just still not sure :s

so I emailed them saying I wanted Kingston Park and guess what... its already taken

so back to the drawing board for me

I'm going to post a thread on the main page with some piccies of our property as well would love any suggestions as I'm totally stumped now... one of our workers suggested "K Park"? hmm kinda like it but I don't know LOL help please

Finn is doing great!! we are at day 5 of weaning now... Suzie still calls out to him and Penny from across the paddocks but Penny answers more then Finn LOL

Finn has recovered fully from his little operation which is great and I'm working on getting his weight down, its hard to tell how fat he actually is under all that fluff but I know he is overweight lol

I hope you can decide whats best to do with Zakky

are you going to breed next season? would love to see what your two produce again!!

Haha thanks Ben,. yeah we tend to chat on here a fair bit LOL haha he is a teddy bear isnt he LOL he is cranky at me though now as I took him from his mummy

so he isn't as snuggly as normal

he'll come round I'm sure

I so wish I could have Kingston Park, stupid other people for taking my name grrr any suggestions?

Suzie's new rugs came today YAY!! I can't wait for it to stop raining and for it to be a nice sunny day so I can wash her and try them on!! so excited!

penyn has decided she doesn't want a white face anymore and has COATED it in mud!! LOL brat! she needs a wash too if we get some warm weather again

 

[Wings]

Hmmm... let me find my creative hat!

Casfin Miniatures. It's part Cassie and part Finn

Fair Acres. Taking the 'fair' part out of Finn's name as he is the first mini to have your stud name.

ummm, that's all I got right now!

 

[cassie]

hmm thanks Bree

haha Casfin is kinda cute LOL keep them coming

I'm sure no one would have thought of that

Casfin Fair Warrior or Casfin Park Fair Warrior

hmm yeah I like the sound of that

 

[MeganH]

Awww Cassie I missed Finn's gelding while I was out of town! SO glad he did well with it. He is such a fuzzy fellow! Wish I could give him a squeeze!

Loved all the pictures! I miss seeing your babies!

 

[cassie]

Hi all,

well finally I think I have come up with a name, and its available and Bree likes it

so I wanted to see what you lovely ladies thought...? it was so hard to think of a new name, especially as I was so set on Kingston Park. But I really like this new one and I hope you all do to... if you think of a better one please add it in I'm still open for suggestions

so the name that I have thought of is... are you ready??

"Classic K Miniatures" do you all like it?

so Finn's name would be "Classic K Fair Warrior"

reason for the name... "Classic" for Penny who is Raylee Park Classic Touch, (I'm going to see if I can get Classic added into Suzie's name hers is Raylee Park Butterscotch, and I would make it Raylee Park Classic Butterscotch

) waiting to here from her breeder but she is lovely

and the K, is for King or Kingston

so... what do you all think... is it a go?

do you like it?

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

good to go! cute

 

[AnnaC]

Hi Cassie - sorry I missed the announcement of your new stud name. Classic K Miniatures sounds brilliant!

How is Suzie looking, and what about Penny - have you lined up any possible show yet for them? And I think it is about time we had a few updated pics to look at - dont forget to include our cute special Finn as well!!

 

[cassie]

Hi girls,

Diane I'll go and have a look now, sorry end of month and end of finanical year lol

Thank you Anna

I will take some new pics of all my kiddies for you tomorrow just for you

and I'm so glad you like my name

I'm so excited! Suzie will be officially measured next week and then I can register her

got at least three shows lined up for her

one in August one September and one October

I've had another lady who said she wants me to put Suzie in foal to her stallion as well LOL

still very much up in the year with breeding next year but just a lot of changes happening (most of them good

) so now I just have to sit on things and think for a while before I announce anything hehe.

Thanks for checking in

will get you some fluffy pony kid photos tomorrow

 

[AnnaC]

Looking forward to the pics Cassie - thank you.

 

[MeganH]

Oooo I want to see Cassie! Miss all your little ones!

 

[bannerminis]

Cassie your minis are looking super. Its still so weird to see your guys getting wooly and ours sleek and then in a few months it will be the other way round. Love the new name too.

Looking forward to the picture updates.

Hi Guys,

sorry for dropping off the planet lol crazy busy here at the moment...

last week was off work all week out in the bush with church doing a thing we call "Day Camp" where we take 120 local children to one of our church properties and have a great time teaching them about God, having camp fires gunyas (tents) alot of singing, bushwalking, flour fights LOL(the yr 6 girls and boys had a massive flour fight was so funny!) and overall getting exhausted and VERY dirty lol. had a great time doing that, then Saturday we woke at 4am and headed down to melbourne victoria for the weekend for my uncles surprise 60th bday, he was so shocked and said it was his best birthday present ever! they have a beautiful property... here is a pic

over looking Lake Connewarre (Bree will prob know where that is

)

dont know if it will work but we shall see, hopefully it does lol.

so unfortunatly no pics of the fur kids, the weather hasn't been warm enough for them to go nude anyway but will get you some piccies as soon as I can

Smartie though being the brat that he is, has decided that while I was away he would start jumping the fence from his paddock into the big paddock!!!! its a 1.2 metre high fence! and he is only 14.2hh LOL

was so shocked!! lol the grass must definitley be better on the other side I reckon LOL its ok for him to be in there, but it does make me worry at what else he will try! naughty boy!!

quick question, I have been desperatly trying to get Finn to lose some weight!!

he is in with Penny so not drinking and is in a paddock with hardly any grass and is only getting the scraps that penny doesn't eat (luckily she is a bit of a ****** lol and doesn't like sharing which I'm fine with lol)

his top line is actually not too bad I cant' quite feel his ribs (when I search through his fluff) but he does have a MASSIVE TUMMY!! (no he isn't pregnant lol

) he is regularly wormed and is active I just don't know what else to do to get the weight off him! I dont like him having too much weight on and worry when we get the new spring grass how he will go... HELP?

will try get some pics of them all for you soon

hope you are all well.

 

[cassie]

yay is worked, p.s click on the pic to see it bigger

also wanted to add, Finn was 9 months old day before yesterday!!!! little baby man! where has the time gone

 

[Wings]

Pretty pic Cassie! Sounds like you need to do some jumping with Mr Smarty though

I'd ask for a pic of Finn but if he looks anything like mine a pic won't be any help at all! Lyric is still under weight but from any pic I take she looks fat!

You can always lock him up when spring arrives, that's what I'll have to do with poor Belle.
