I stopped sticking him because I am starting to freak out a little. He turned 4 in May. Right before Devon I sticked him and he was 16.3 behind and 16.2 in front. There is no earthly reason why he should grow anymore. His dam is 16.2 and his sire is 16.3. The butt and withers have NEVER been in the same time zone for more than a day. I just want them to reach the same height now and stop. :)

Thanks for the compliments. MUCH of the praise goes to Brenda who is a flippin' AMAZING photographer!
Ahhh V, I feel your pain! My guy was 16.1-ish when I got him as an older 2 year old and he string tested at 18 hands. I laughed at the thought! Here we are, some five years later (where did the time go :o ) and he's 17.3 -- AKA Big Tack. His dad is 16.3 and his mom is 16.1. His full sister is refined with a smallish frame, probably 16.2 tops.

I've got a strange feeling little Frankie might be heading the same route as my guy :teehee: :teehee:

Frankie is like Somerset, they both have no excuse for their bigness. For the love of all that is holy, Aristos B is 16.3 and Somerset's dam was a THOROUGHBRED! he has no excuse for being 17.2 and wide enough to be classified as a double wide ;)

All I ask of Frankie is that he not outgrow his current blankets for at least one more season. Then he can do what he'd like... but, um, I am quite happy with 16.2/3 and would rather we stay THERE!

 Hoping he stays in the 16.3 range. I can tell you falling from 17.3 hurts like hell...I just don't bounce the way I used to, now it is more like a thud. A painful thud. :tantrum:

 Falling with my 15.3 TWH was no treat either.

Darned gravity. I'll think stop growth thoughts for your horse!

 My DH bought a cool new camera, so I finally have some new photos of Skyler. Hooray!

We went to a schooling dressage show today. We rode Training 1 and Training 2, scores 65.652 and 64.642, about the scores I expected considering what we've been working on. It was HOT HOT HOT but we had a nice day.

I posted the videos at http://jn4jenny.blip.tv/, but as the scores indicate, they're pretty ho-hum rides. No major highlights. :)

Skyler @ the Brenderup while I put my boots on (if you look closely, I am the crumped heap near the car wheels):

Amazing how the DH catches me at the worst possible equitation moment. But the horse looks good:

Not as good of a picture but more representative of the actual riding ;) :
