View Full Version : Blue ~ My Special Lad

So I though I would introduce to my baby......................
Blue was purchased off a dealer as a dark dappled grey, skrawny 2-ish year old. Like many dealer ponies he was pretty much already broken in................and was not the chuncky cob I was told I was going to see (when the ramp came down there stood this slender looking thing).
He is a 15.2hh Arab (Arab type, I say type as I know nothing of his breeding). I have had him for 17 years (so he is now 19) and although there have been some hard time I have loved every moment and would not change a moment.
Anyway here he is...............my baby boy:

Thanks.
I always to said I would never own a grey, never wanted to................and look what I ended up with (but in the nicest possible way). Wouldn't swap him for the world though.
I have now spent much of the last 17 years on a search for a "grey shampoo" that actually works. :lol:

Oh I thought at first he was BC's Scottie!
He is lovely - looks a lot like my old mare. Have you any photos of him when he was younger?

I will try to dig some out.................will have to scan a few older piccies as there were no digital cameras when I first got him.

Right then, sat here at my computer this is the only "old photo" I could find as everything else needs scanning.
He would be about 5 in this picture (he started to loose his grey quite quickly).
This image was taken by my sister at a local show.

He was a lot darker than that when I got him. I will dig out some more piccies (they are in a box somewhere). He started to go grey quickly after I got him (don't know what that says abouot me as an owner, lol). In the piccie above he was about 5..........so he lighten up quite a lot in just a coupe of years.

Thanks for all your kind comments. I know we all think our horse/ponies are the best, but it is really nice to share piccies of our "babies".
