Show Us How They've Grown

[Chamomile]

This is fun! I love to see how they mature. Some of them are really a surprise!!

Here is Buck On's Two Dark and Dangerous aka Dane. First as a weanling...

Then as a yearling... all dolled up at a show...

And then this year as a two year old...

and driving. We are just driving him lightly. He has a lot of energy and we felt it would be good to get him in cart a little early. He is a March foal and very strong and developed. We just drive him here on the farm in the arena for 10-20 minutes at a time...

Well I went through files and found almost 20 horses I could do foal-to-adult pictures for, but I'm going to just do a few. The first is our grand dame Celebration. Forgive the quality of her pics, as the weanling shot is from 1989.

This is Celebration's first foal, Anticipation, as a baby (again not very good--a scan from a 1995 polaroid):

Anticipation as a 10 year old:

Great idea! I had thought of starting something like this too, but then got busy with a show. I am still trying to learn to look at babies and figure out what they will look like when mature.

Aw thanks maplegum! According to his breeders he was a stinker from day one (we got him as a yearling), but it makes for some very photogenic expressions.
