I was looking through some pictures and was surprised at how light my horse has gotten!

Smokey is gorgeous :)
Mehitabel they were great pics, Petal is lovely, but she was a beautiful bay!
Fergie just looks like a different horse!

Had to split my post- too many pictures. :) This guy is the mare picture above's son, so I fully expect him to grey to white too.

Wow-so many beautiful, beautiful grays! Odd thing is, gray was my least favorite color until I bought one :D

I think Smokey is going to end up looking most like Ferdie, he is already showing the flea bitten spots on his head and shoulders. But I bet I'll never get him to jump into water! His Arab half hates to get wet....

As you can see from these pictures we have a flea bitten monster too ;) He is also terrified of water - mud seems to be fine but the smallest trickle of water is definitely out to kill him :rolleyes: :D

The first one is of him as a three year old. The next one is a couple of years later and shows how he looked as a five to six year old. Now he is nine and looks like the last photo (in summer anyway - his winter coat is a bit more blurry!)
