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

[cassie]

thanks girls

yeah I agree Bree, i did a little jumping with him

(just low poles when I first got him n he loved it guess Ill have to get some set up again lol

ok Ill take some pics of Finn tomorrow morning

by the time I get home from work its dark

yeah I'm thinking I will have to lock him up, I want to start stabling Suzie, to get her to lose her coat. but as I still only have one stall working I can't lock them both up... I'll work it out LOL. when its wet he doesn't look as fat so it could be his fluff is making him look fatter then he is... I'll take some pics and put them up and see what you girls think

Thanks Diane, how much more do you think he will grow? he is still so tiny and I love him being little... I'm hoping he won't grow too much more hehe.

Hey Cassie, great to have you back - it's been so quiet here for the past few days (not that you are a 'noisy' person, just that it has been quiet in general!) Glad your busy week with the youngsters went so well, I remember from last year that you said how much fun everyone has.

Naughty Smartie - you never know what they will get up to when Momma is away!! That picture of your Uncle's place looks fabulous, so glad his Birthday was a success and what a brilliant suprise for him to have you all there to make the day really special for him.

I would love to see some pics of that special little Finn (and the others too), but as Diane says, I wouldn't worry about his weight at this time of year - wait until the Spring comes and then sort out a plan for him.

Just wondering how your health is doing, are you still being careful what you eat and is it helping?

Hi Anna,

Thank you

yeah I love Day camp, I had older girls this year so it was very different from last year lol.

I still can't get over the fact that Smartie jumped that fence lol since coming back they have been going in the big paddock (not Finn lol) so he is happy again but it worries me a bit what he will try next

thank you, our trip down there was fantastic

and they are coming up later this month for my Dad's 60th bday

so that will be nice.

I took some pictures of them this morning. After a night of pouring rain the sun is out and shining

so the mini's have all gone nude LOL and Suzie has started shedding!!

yippee, so I got out there with the curry comb and took a mass amount of hair off her lol. will do some more at lunch time, and wil take some more piccies, the ones from this morning weren't very good I'm afraid as the sun was casting shadows over everything so will hopefully be able to upload some piccies tonight our internet at home has been stuffing up but hopefully Andrew will get it working again

thanks for the advice Anna, he doesn't look as fat when he is wet but he still has that tummy which I want gone...

My health is doing well, quitting the vets has definitley helped, though I still have the flare up from the last time I worked, it came on my chest and face this time and is SOOO itchy! starting to get that back in control though very slowly, hoping that it won't come back again now... yeah still watching what I'm eating though not so strict as before... so we are on the mend, need to get some vitamin E capsules for my hands soon which I'm sure will help alot.

thanks Anna

 

[cassie]

well my friends I got some better photos with the help of my brother, they aren't brilliant but here you go

Penny





Fat little Finnley man (we had lots of rain last night so they were still a bit wet, Finn even had ice on him this morning

)





some mummy lovin





more in next post

 

[cassie]

Suzie and Smartie









I had been giving them licorice and Smartie wanted more so he started searching his pockets and found my pen LOL he thought it tasted pretty good and wouldn't let go LOL

what a brat!

hehe hope you enjoy the piccies

 

[cassie]

again click on the pics to see them bigger

 

[AnnaC]

Oh Cassie they all look fabulous!!

:ThumbUp

Penny is such a pretty girl - such a shame she never had that foal, but hopefully there will be one in the not too distant future!

Finn is looking great Cassie - I dont think his tummy looks too big at all and certainly not for winter time. He looks so cuddly too, bless him!

Suzie is looking brilliant - she really has lost her foal tummy without losing her top line, so well done you. And as for Smartie, well he's just plain gorgeous. What a fabulous coat too (his not his rug!! LOL!!) He looks as though he's a horse in the middle of summer, just fantastic.

They are all a real credit to you Casse.

:ThumbUp

 

[Wings]

They're looking good! Even the Finnster, i think his winter fluff is helping to trick eveyrone about his belly, one of my geldings does this and he looks like a broodmare

Bet you can't wait for show season to roll in!

 

[cassie]

Thanks everyone

I'm glad you think Finn isn't too bad lol, he is still energetic so I'm not worried about that hopefully his tummy will go down a little bit when spring comes along...

when Finn isn't wet he is SOO cuddly and still tries to lie down on me

Anna, I'm really excited to see how both Penny and Suzie look this Summer

it will be the first summer that I have had complete control over how they look and I'm so excited!! yeah I wish Penny had been in foal too, but thats ok. I'm hoping to go over and see Sandy this weekend, and have a feel of Ellie's foal (yippee) and maybe broach the subject of using Pig (Spellbound Dark Magic) with Penny for next season foal... have already thought of a name hehe Classic K touch of Dark magic for a colt and Classic K touch of Magic for a fillyl hehe (I'm not excited in the least lol and she hasn't even said yes yet

)

Suzie I'm getting really excited to show hopefully this afternoon I'll be able to spend a little time with her, wanting to do some trot work with her, and thank you for your kind words Anna, she is my special girl and I really hope she does well in the show ring

I have 3 possible shows lined up for her between august and october, and seeing how she goes with that will help me decide whether to put her into foal for next season... I have two people who want me to put her to their stallions now... one is the one I have mentioned earlier, (the taffy) and the other is a palomino by the same stud (not the same bloodlines) as her sire, here is a pic what do you think of him? I think I like the taffy better conformation wise and he is closer to me but the palli could be for a future baby maybe... I still want to put her to the buckskin appy someday but as he has won lots I would say his price would be pretty ouchy lol

here is the pally, Mini World Sir Edmund



Smartie is my very special boy and FINALLY I have been able to stop him from getting a winter coat!! yippee lol. considering he is 23 this year (he is the same age as me hehe) I think he is looking pretty good, he needs some more muscle on him but we have had so much rain that as soon as the ground dries up enough to ride him it rains again!

come spring though I should be able to ride him more especially now I don't work saturdays

Bree I am SOOO excited for my first show season! I don't think we will blitz anything, we might not even place in any of the classes but thats ok, I want to go out there and have fun and thats the main thing

if we won something well that would be a big bonus

still wondering if I might take Penny to an early show or two... so much decision making to do lol but its all fun

hope your all well

I'll let you know how we go with the show ring when the time comes.

Hi my friends,

Christine (the breeder of Suzie and Penny) has just sent me through a pic of Suzie's half sister (same dad, mini horse mum)

her name is Raylee Park Lady Gaga (hehehehe) and this is a pic of her at her first show on the weekend... she is 9 months old and sooo cute

love her.

thought I would share

 

[AnnaC]

Oh Cassie, what a pretty little girl!! I really like her 'type' of conformation but am a little confused (LOL! typical me!). I thought that you said that you needed to breed either ponies or minis, but Christine seems to have 'mixed' the two (with brilliant results I might add). So which classes would this little filly be shown in?

How nice of Christine to send you the picture.

 

[cassie]

thanks Anna, isn't she stunning! haha it is very confusing LOL, Christine bred Mini World Laddie who is miniature horse (Suzie and Gaga's daddy) to a shetland pony (bigger then mini pony) mare who produced Suzie, and so because she has the pony in her, and she is pony type I will show her pony LOL. Its just depends on the breeder,some people will not consider mixing the two breeds and others are more then happy too lol i get confused by it LOL. Lady Gaga she will be shown miniature horse and I think she should do pretty well, she is so pretty.

I'm one of those who refuses to cross the types, it's a thing I can't stand as you get something so middle of the road!

Personally i think Suzie is a nicer example of a pony then Gaga is of a horse, she looks sweet but I don't see her standing up to the horses in the long term as she's already heavier looking then Lyric at the same age. Suzie on the other hand has very nice pony type, as an adult you know she won't change and you can see from Finn that she passes it on well

I think I will be the same Bree, which is why I gelded Finn as obviously he was a cross...

Thank you

I can see what you mean about Gaga being heavy set,

I'm glad you like Suzie and what she produces

it means a lot to me. big hugs,

I have ordered Suzie's show bridle

yippee (well its a filly slip) so I'll take some pics for you all when it comes, so excited!! Suzie got her feet trimmed yesterday and she should be getting measured next week

I have sent my registration form into IMHR as well, so I can register Finn and Penny.

exciting stuff

 

[Wings]

Sounds like exciting stuff ahead for you!

Can't wait to see her new bridle

 

[cassie]

yep very exciting

I just had a look at AMHS but they don't seem to have much in NSW...

Thanks will definitley take some pics, now need to decide what colours for the browband

I'm thinking purple navy and white for Suzie mumma, her bridle is brown...

 

[Wings]

Love the colour choice for Suzie

AMHS got started last year so it's slow growth. Only VIC has pony rings at the moment but that will spread as the other states get interested. And hopefully it will as it's the only place to do pony jumping so far

:ThumbUp

 

[cassie]

yay thanks

was looking at browbands today lol (secretly wondering if I might have a go at making one HEHE) I like parts of all of them but I couldn't find one that I said yep thats for Suzie, so I might have a go at making one hehe.

ok, cool yeah that woul be awesome if they came up to NSW, hey did I ever show you the video of Penny jumping? lol

 

[Wings]

No you didn't! How could you withold something like that from us!

:rofl Come on share time

I think I have a few browband makers on my FB list, want me to see if anyone is doing custom orders?

 

[AnnaC]

Cant wait to see the pics of our special Suzie in her new posh halter - and yes, please can we see the video of Penny.
