Turkeygirl Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Ok, here is a photo I got in the fall of my horse. He is a flea-bitten grey Quarter Horse gelding by the name of Checkers Royal Charm, Checkers as I call him. You can do just about anything with this horse, he will stand forever while grooming! I showed him a few times before he got Navicular so now he is just a good ol' trail horse No I haven't tried hunting while on him and don't plan to. Some moron paintballed him a couple summers ago, once in the face, once on the back and again on the leg. Oh yeah as for age, we figure he is about 21/22, old as me. We aren't sure though because the guy who owned him a few owners back wouldn't give me the papers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superguide Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Re: Photo of my horse Boy he's a stout old son of a gun isn't he. Just a friendly word of advice -never turn a horse out with a halter-you'll get your heart broke some day if he hangs up. I worked on a ranch one time-the first day the boss told me "If you ever get sick of working here-drive over a wire gate or turn your horse out with a halter.". I've seen some terrible wrecks with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted March 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Re: Photo of my horse Thanks guys:-) He is a pretty awesome horse. I've turned him out since I've owned him with a halter on. Well sometimes it is on and sometimes not but we've never had a problem, not much to get hung up on in our pasture anyway. I usually have to have his halter on if I'm going to ride or if the vet or farrier is going to come, otherwise I'll spend half the day trying to catch him in our big pasture,lol:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSGB Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Re: Photo of my horse Beautiful horse! Hmmm, you say it was taken in the fall? Must have been early fall. All the wildflowers make it look like spring. Nice picture, none-the-less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiteRunner Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Re: Photo of my horse He's Pretty! Doesn't look grey, looks kinda blonde. That was wrong you didn't get the papers. The AQHA would have had him barred for that. Still possible I think. Here;s a pic of one of our horses, Dusty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck2 Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Re: Photo of my horse Glad you're enjoying your horse, turkeygirl. Quarter horses are great, aren't they? I agree with NiteRunner - I think you might still be able to get the registration papers, but you may have to take pictures and jump through a few hoops. These are mine. The horse on the right in the middle picture was 26 when the picture was taken and she has now turned 31. Still in good shape, although living a leisurely life of retirement. http://www.angelfire.com/bc/canuck2/test.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted March 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Re: Photo of my horse Wow Canuck2, those are some awesome looking horses! Checkers looked really good in his day, he still does not, just needs some muscling up,lol BucknRut, whatever are you saying,lol? I was telling superguide that we are aware of horses getting caught with their halters but we haven't had a problem and that my horse is fine with his halter on but if he doesn't have a halter on, he likes to run around the pasture if I try to catch him to go for a ride:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superguide Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Re: Photo of my horse Nobody ever has a problem till the day you have a big problem-it's not worth taking a risk I've untangled a few too many in my day to ever risk it again-you want to make him easier to catch-cut him off water and stand at gate and call him. He'll come up to you when he gets thirsty and won't ever forget it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
