He has really grown into a beauty!!! It's amazing how his body lengthened into what he is now!!! You certainly have one might fine looking horse!! (Two really!)
The only before and afters I have are of Sonora (and those are baby pics to now. . ) I'll try and dig some up of Sterling.

First week at Texas A&M!!!! 1997. I was just barely 18 in this shot! (thats a family friend on the right)

2003, VERY pregnant

This is her last winter. . .
http://inlinethumb03.webshots.com/29186/2438042700039807832S500x500Q85.jpg
She's 20 years old this year and not quite the speedy she used to be!! Still the best horse I've ever riden! And in my eyes the prettiest!!

I have some new pictures of Twilight, wait till I post the before and afters! She looks amazing and is a little spunk. It was a bit cooler today; I was trottin her in hand and wanted to see how fast she could trot, the little stinker took off cantering, lol! Her tail was raised high as it could be and I let that mare go in the arena and she just took off, her and Quest had a blast. She has been saddled and is amazing in the roundpen. Will be getting on within a month most likely.

Pic of Baby was taken, 3 months? And she's 18 months now.
We got her at 5 months when she was weaned and now, she'll let the farrier do her without a hitch, she ground drives, saddles, does in hand trail, lounges etc. She's a gem, she'll go through or over anything. We actually fit together well!

I don't have really any pictures but I think I may have a little something like 6 months ago of Biggs! I'll go find them, but my computer isn't working right now so I may have to see if there are a few on my mom's laptop. :)

I think we need more Mandzanita Biggs updates!!
I know! Thanks for thinking of us :) We've been riding alot and working on TONS of trot work involving lots of patterns, circles, surpentines, transitions, collection, extension, trot poles, and it's going great! He's really starting to get more supple through-out his body while before it felt like I was trying to steer a train around. We've even started some jumping and he seems to love it!
Next on our plate will canter work. He's good at transitioning from trot to canter but from there we have one speed and that's gallop, lol. I'm bummed winter is comming but it's great to have solid trot work under our belt.

Got some nice looking horses folks.
Glide, your Prize sure looks different. The weight loss on you and Jordan makes me jealous.
Although City dosnt need to loose weight, his mommy does..hehehe, that would be me.
I still think we need to find other HC winners and have a winners ride. Wouldnt that be cool?

The funny thing is when I registered Sonora I registered her as a grey but the refused to allow it and registered her as a bay because they didn't believe she would grey out. . . so I guess i need to correct it. . wonder how much that will cost?

Muffin as a baby up in Canada
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b320/DesignersPet/MuffinandSammy.jpg
Here he is less then a month after he arrived at 9 months old. I was teaching him to halter/lead. Look at those feet! All over grown, chunks broken off and flared out.
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b320/DesignersPet/MuffinHalterCloseUp.jpg
10 months old playing in front yard. When he runs he looks so much bigger!! I guess it's the power he has that makes him look bigger.
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b320/DesignersPet/Muffinfun2.jpg
1 year old trying to get away with "hiding" and trying to pull me under his shelter. Bad Muffin.
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b320/DesignersPet/Picture090.jpg
This was taken this last winter. The date on it is a year off (Mom forgot to update the date in her camera) so it's 1/08. He is around a year and 1/2 in this. That's Mom messing with the lead.
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b320/DesignersPet/MuffinFirstRide116.jpg
Recent one of him giving me kisses. He is almost 2 years old in this pic.
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b320/DesignersPet/MuffinBath055.jpg
I don't have any pictures of him more recent on my account.... I have video but not pics. I guess I should start taking more. He is currently 2 years 5 months old.
This took me forever to post!!! Photobucket was loading so slooow. But, I hope you like the pics. I can't wait to see what Mufin wieghs at his next vet visit :eek: I need to stop using photobucket....that took me an hour to find those in my album and I don't even have that much stuff on there.

ooooh Tofana and Toby!!!! WoW!! Love the big butts :) :) :)
Drooling...... Evey one already knows I'm in love with Tofana!! That boy is just stunning!!! Drop dead stunning! continues drolling....
I don't think I have seen Toby before? He is puurdy and handsome!! I can't tell what he is, haffie, Belgian, or a cross? Stunning boys you both have there :)
I go gaga for big butt horses! I know I have a problem... I wonder if there are any self help groups I could attend? lol Maybe some medication to stop the immediate drooling when I see a nice round horse booty? lol The worst is a draft booty....ohhh I love me a big draft booty!! lol :) My faves are the dappled perches like Tofana and the blonds like Toby!! Muffins is nice too but I see his glow in the dark butt all the time. hahahah

Very nice horses everyone!
Salon is amazing!
Thanks for the compliments on Toby. :cowboy:
Irisgreen, I thought everyone knew Toby! He is a registered haflinger (M-line, his registered name is Motley). He was my first horse and of course I did it all wrong and got a yearling for my first. But I don't regret a minute of it! Even if I was black and blue once in a while. :p
Here is another before and after I find striking. This is my husband's horse. He is a draft cross (belgianXspotted saddle is our best guess) and he was an orphan foal. Almost lost him when he was a baby to foal pnemonia, but he pulled through!

Thanks Iris. It's funny how many people comment on his butt, still waiting for a picture that a woman promised to email to me. Her kids made her take the picture since they couldn't stop commenting on it.
I would like to see a conformation shot of Muffin these days. From the latest pictures, it looks like he is past the awkward stage and starting to really fill out. Will be a handsome fellow when he is done.

I have great then & now pictures of Bones. But I (duh me ) do not know how to get then into this post from my picture folder in my computer of even from the pictures I made in an album you can see if you click on my name... Well any way Bones was a rescue case. My friend gave him to me. He found him at a farm. He was skin & bones about 650 lbs underweight. After 2 years he is looking good!!

The BO where I take lessons has a big dark bay OTTB named Bones and I seem to remember him having a similar story as your horse. Your boy is certainly looking healthy now, I love his wide blaze.

Thank you for the compliments, but everybody has very pretty horses.
No, Houston Farrier's horses are much bigger, although they might not be as stocky. His horses are clydes and Tofana is perch & irish sport, all nice breeds.
Tofana is not that tall for his breeding, he is 17 hands, but he is very heavy and big boned, and the neck also makes him look big. He was weighed at 1810 lbs last year, but I think he has put on some size since then (the person with the mobile scale is no longer in the business). He is by a percheron stud that was over 18h and out of an irish sport mare that was 17'3", so he is actually on the small side.
This picture gives a better idea of how his mass makes him look bigger.

Thank you Mlle beau, When I got him he did not have a name.. I thought it was fitting cause of how he looked even though I knew in time he would be a healthy boy.
Pi and Tofu,, your boy is HUGE and beautiful.

I like Pirate as a 3 yr old. Dark Dapples are a grey I like, picky about greys.
I like his build at 9, but prefer the Dapple on him.
He sure is white(clean), thats impressive!!
This is a pic of Willow at about 18 months old.

Grey is my least favorite color and I ended up with 2 greys. Flea bitten greys I like the least and Pirate has turned into a flea bitten grey. I love when they are dark dappled, why couldn't they stay that way? Silly horses.

This is Ickabod when I first got him, it was in the winter, so you can't really see how skinny he was because he had fur, but he was pretty skinny and had pneumonia.
