Clay

[Biz]

Um he's got Roy's colouring, but is thicker in the neck and head!! Roy's got monstrous shoulders (QH) but a longer and skinner neck and face!!

Beautiful horse Hilary! Really cute!

[Emily C]

I love Clay!
But he scares me..he looks soooo much like Red..they have the same..reddish chestnut coloring!

[Robyn]

My thoughts exactly, Emily!

[Amyy]

it could be just me....but in the first few pics does he look a lil underweight? it could be just me....but his hips didnt look filled out. i dont mean to start anything or anything...just an observation

[Hilary]

well, when he fist got to newfoundladn he was really under weight! he looks nothing like that now. he lsot alot of weight on the trailer.

[Hilary]

hi there everyone!
Ok I rode Clayton today and he was a pain is the a**! At fist he was fine. but then he began to get really really fast, and when i asked him to slow down he would not for the world i tell you! he began to buck a little , and prepared to a good many times but i stopped him ... over all i guess it ended on a good note, i walked him around, but i mean i have never seen him like that before! It's most likely just a baby faze, i know that they all get em! lol
(P.S you must excuse me, i am a horrible and i mean horrible speller )

im sure he'll get out of the bucking hilary....just a lil work....lol look at dream..she was deff. the queen of bucking....but she hasnt even attempted in over a year now

[Suzanne]

What a nice horse!!! I wouldnt worry too much about the bucking... like you said, probably just a baby thing... He straighten out soon hopefully... good luck!

[S&S]

with shelby shed buck every time id use my leg n try to rear at times but once she got use to me and my ques she stopped... now i cant remember the last time she bucked unless we're juss gaming and galloping around n shes having a bit of fun .... so just stick with her! =)

Your horse is gorgeous and my advice is to not get discouraged because all young horses have issues. I bought my mare at 2 and she never smartened up until she was 4 1/2... good luck... I'm sure you'll do fine. It is the most rewarding thing ever when you make your horse the best it can be and knowing that it is all because of you.

hi everyone,
I found out what the problem was!it wasnet him at all. you see i was using a saddle on him but i used on my old pony, but it fit him when he got here, but he has gorwn like a great amount so now the saddle is to small. it was driving down on his back and now hid poor back is sore! I feel so bad though.
Oh well....so i guess that i will be getting a new saddle for christmas yaya! but yea i have to sell my saddle. - it is a HDR club. any one intersted?
let me know
Hilary

Amy, Clay is full, healthy(minus sore back), and happy now.


Hilary I know hwo you feel about him having a sore back. Keep in mind sweating it with absorbine and hot water helped Prancer tremendously(her beack's not sore anymore)! Anyway i'm talking tto you on MSN about this now.



Lots of tender lovin' care from his mommy will help loads too(as if he doesn't already get lots) .

[Sarah]

Be careful ... sweating a horses back improperly or too often can cause serious harm. Don't try it without a coach, etc present... actually you probably shouldn't try it unless your coach or vet tells you too.


Hope he's feeling better soon!

[Hilary]
