That's a tall bugger. Big set of withers for sure. I'm redoing my mules right now. Stepping down to something a lot shorter.

Thanks guys! I was hankering for one 16 hands, think by the time he's done growing, he'll make that and then some... Have had vets guestimate he'll end up 16 and 2 or 3. He's a little thin now, but wormed and pouring the feed to him. Been riding him every evening in the round pen, and took him down the bottom about 3/4 mile yesterday by himself. Mostly walking, but starting to get sweet little glimpses of his gait - his mama is 15-2 about 1300 lbs, and a good singlefooter

Looks like a walking horse?

Looks like a walking horse? Yep, of indeterminate origins lol - most likely some TWH, maybe some American Saddlebred, and who knows what else thrown in. He is showing signs of having some nice gaits though, still riding him a little every evening.

I can think of very few things as beautiful as a horse in its natural element.
Strength, beauty, power, and grace wrapped in a coat of colors that either blend perfectly, or are so bold as to physically holler said wild strength and grace.
Beauties, friend.
Maybe in another life Ill have a corral full.
