Polo wrapped all 4 legs and headed down to the big round pen. The footing down there is normally good and after the rain Friday night, it was almost perfect. A little deep but not bad at all.
I literally stood there while he got his craziness out. I think it's good for his mind to have these times to blow off steam and since the rain will be here in no time and prevent us from doing this type of stuff, I am glad I took the opportunity to let him have at it.
I put his cooler and hock boots back on and headed to the indoor to walk him around till he was cool and not puffing.

Lesson tonight, off Wed, something Thur, hack Fri, lesson Sat and show Sun :)
His pasterns are a bit upright, shoulder is straight which causes the bumpy ride, nice neck, a little thick, love his head, high wither. Nice, deep hip. :) I wouldn't complain about a single thing in his confo, other than his straight shoulder, I know that feel. ;) Bumpy rides make better seats but mehhhh....Red's got it too, it's not very comfy! ;)
ReplyDeleteYeah he is SOOOO bouncy!
DeleteHe's pretty nicely put together! His neck has a nice crest to it and his back looks rounded rather than hollow.
ReplyDeleteI love how solid Henry is -- a while back he just seemed to beef up overnight. I love that about him!!
ReplyDeleteYeah he's one solid fit dude!
DeleteHenry is solid! with what looks like great bone. I agree he is a tad upright/short looking in his pasterns but otherwise I don't see too much to complain about and that is being pretty picky, I think. He looks to have a huge motor. And the strengths you listed make him even better!
ReplyDeleteThanks! He is super athletic!
DeleteI love Henry's conformation! Love his short back and muscular build. He always looks more like a WB than a TB to me. :)
ReplyDeleteYes he is def got that WB look :)
DeleteHenry is one solid guy and yes, stinkin cute!
ReplyDeleteAh thanks!!
DeleteHe looks like he has a very good allround conformation. His shoulder could be a little more angled but its not bad by all means. Hes definitely an athlectic looking dude.
ReplyDeleteI love that last pic of you guys! So cool :)
Thanks.. yeah he is def fit :)
