Peanut Blessed me with a

[Lindi-loo]

Oh well done you with the halta Iv been trying so hard with Dinky but no luck shes a stubborn lil minx and is not having any of it

he sounds like hes going to be a gorgeous colour..you get so much shine with the darker colours I love them

Im with the other Aunties more pictures plz of the gorgeous young prince

Sounds as though you are making great progress Heidi.

It's funny how different they all are regarding their feet. Our foals are always much easier with their hind feet than their fronts. LOL!! I think they often balance better standing on just one back leg than on one front. Also there is the 'Iwant to talk to you' problem - with someone in front doing scratches to the chest/neck, the other person can easily do/trim a back foot, but when we change places so one is at the back scratching down the back legs, the person at the front is now by the shoulders trimming, (or trying to!) a front foot, and the foal wants to step back so they can have their chest scratched instead. LOL!! So for us, the fronts always prove a bit more awkward than the backs!

Like everyone else I cant wait for the pics of the new posh Cam!

HURRY UP!!

 

[cassie]

still needing pics LOL

so glad you are having lots of fun with him

I'll have to take lessons off you for when my foal decides to come along LOL

I hear rumours that little Cam has had a hair cut, PHOTOS PLEASE

 

[LittleRibbie]

He did he did, well a partial... my blades flaked out so we didnt do legs. I did get pictures and couldnt get them off the camera. have plans on having Skiff do it today. crossed fingers LOL. He is having his fan club over this morning. Ive been waiting for them....hope they hurry up b/c I have a few horses that I would like to pamper before it gets too hot. hes been in the stall b/c Peanut wouldnt let me break down her bale of shavings...she was doing her ever so lady like belly scratches on it.

Cam is now a dark bay!! I wish his coat was shinier though...maybe as he gets older...lets hope. Thanks for asking about him

 

[Eagle]

Dark bays are a wonderful colour, he will shine very soon just give him time. WAITING for photos.

 

[AnnaC]

I agree - there is nothing more beautiful than the richness of a dark bay coat, not forgetting the fantastic deep shine they always seem to get naturally during the summer months!

Dont panic Heidi, young foals rarely 'shine' no matter what you do to them or their coats. You have to wait for future years to throw up that wonderful depth of 'gleam' seen on a mature bay coat!

STILL waiting for the pictures!!

 

[lucky lodge]

I would be pretty happy with a dark bay dont see many bay minis in australia would love one

would love to see some up date photos of the little cam Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[Lindi-loo]

Oh yes plase can we see a picture.. I bet hes gorgeous

I love bays especially the dark ones..shine shine shine

 

[AnnaC]

Oh WOW!! He's got so BIG! And hasn't Peanut been doing a good job at rearing him - he looks so well and healthy. Apart from all that, he's just simply GORGEOUS!!

Love the story about his visitors - wonderful that they could make the trip to see him and Miss PN in person (but feel this may happen quite a lot in the future - Miss PN had such a following for such a long time in the run up to Cam's birth!)

Actually I really like his two-tone colour. LOL!! Rather than fight him to get his head and legs done - knowing Cam, he might well object? - why not use his part clip to show off his foal coat and to explain why he needed to have his body clipped to help him with the hot temps, but that you left his legs and head with his fluffy foal coat to give a little protection against any small knocks, bumps or scratches that might result from daily games and foal activities?? Great talking point with potential 'home' visits or visitors arriving at Heidi's place!

 

[Eagle]

he looks like a bar of chocolate, can I have a bite

I love love love his colour

Anna you are a worry wart and I agree with Diane on this one, Heidi you know we love you but remind me never to let you cut my hair

Diane get the clippers and the jet out cos Cam and Peanut are stars now and they need to look their best.

Congratulations Heidi, stardom couldn't have come to a better family. Lets celebrate

 

[AnnaC]

Cant this 'worry wart' join the party please. LOL!!

 

[LittleRibbie]

Of course the 'worry wart" can join the party...i'd love to have all of you here but you have to wait for the Miss "jet setting" Cassie to return from here vacation too...you can all come!! Actually his legs look better now..I did alittle more clipping but it was sort of like attempting to hold a wet bar of soap

:arg! I do love his color but just have to wait a bit as you say for the shine to come in. Hes been doing some major butt rubs lately...if he was a bigger horse i would swear he has worms...not sure how to stop it...ideas? he's too young to worm.

Thanks for the compliments!!

forgot to add

THANK YOU DIANE for posting !!

 

[Lindi-loo]

He looks fab

I love the hair cut well done..how an earth did you get him to stand still that long

hes a gorgeous colour and grown so much you must be very happy

 

[LittleRibbie]

Thanks lindi, but believe me..."stand still" are not words he understands yet lol...it was very much "soap on a rope"

Thats why i had to stop the first time he didnt like being held or on a rope...it made him a little stressful. he was a wee bit better the next time. I wish he was a little more "pudgy" like your little one. I never feel like he's eatting enough and sometimes looks too thin ...he worries me too b/c he hasnt really learned to just eat the grass tops. he pulls out big clumps...dirt and all and munches away!! He eats the crappy stuff that none of the other horses will eat when we take our walks and in the pasture. :arg!

 

[cassie]

naw Heidi he is GORGEOUS!!!! love his colour and he is SO TALL!!!! no wonder little Peanut as uncomfortable LOL

what a good boy for even letting you get near him with the clippers!! your doing such a great job with him Heidi

Congratulations!!

give him a hug from all of us!! as long as you ladies can wait that long you might aswell do a round trip to Australia LOL we have plenty of paddocks where you can land and by then my little baby should be born quick detour hehe

you are doing such a great job Heidi!!!

 

[LittleRibbie]

Thanks cassie, your sweet.

I'm trying but it seems like theres always something.

I know you are going to do a great job too when your little one arrives. Your already an awesome mom to Miss Suzi!!

 

[MeganH]
