When I first saw the thumbnail of Gab on Charlie I thought it was you on Mijo. Very cool pony. I wonder if he is small enough in the mouth to pack one of those old narrow spade bits? Maybe you could get Pat to part with some of his collection. 🙂
You just need to find something he thinks he need and go to tradin. Maybe he needs a good tough SD breed mare? 😉
I bet he’d go for that, if you would pick her up and haul her back on your next visit! 😉
Don’t know that you would ever see the bit that way. 🙂 LOL
Sure, come up with a dandy plan then squash it, I see how you are…..
Great pictures! Love the pony. Are those Haflingers or Belgians–I can’t tell from the low down perspective. I had a Haflinger mare for several years, til she and I had a disagreement and she bucked me off on the trail and broke two of my ribs. Since then she’s belonged to a kid in Northern California and they’ve gotten along just fine! Cute, but there’s nothing like a QH as far as I’m concerned.
Mary Ann, the pony is a Hackney I am told. Kid spoiled anyway, but Gabe is making good progress..the team are Halflinger’s. I have 4. Two trained very well as a team and 2 that are real green. I rode the mare in the round corral a little. I don’t really intend to ride them, just drive them as a team to feed cows and such chores…Ron and Roz and their sisters, Wren and Rill.
Tell Gab he is hired, I will be sending out Sirocco for him to work with 😉
When I told him, he just grinned… 😉 That might not be a good thing…

Yeah, if we ever get him good enough, I am sure he would. Yeah, good luck on getting Pat to let any go and me being able to afford one if he would!
