I have a cute little black colt that needs a new home. He's black and a total sweetheart. He is known to be a bit lazy. He's 4 1/2 months old and ready to be weaned and gelded. His Mamma is a registered Quarter Pony, so he is eligible for registration as well, I just haven't done so. His Daddy was a mustang. This was not a deliberate breeding (long story). Anyway, he's a doll, but he needs his own person and more time than I can give him right now. He should mature to right around 14 hands, he's already as tall as his Mamma. He'd make a great 4-H project. He's UTD, gets his feet done again on the 27th (if he's still here). He is halter trained, but can get a little stubborn about leading sometimes, that's where the laziness comes in. Sometimes he prefers to take a nap to working. He's very friendly, has been around kids, dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, goats, and other horses. I'm asking $500 but that is extremely negotiable to the right home. Or trade for tack or hay or ? Here's some pics... The pictures are a couple of months old, I'll have to try to get more recent ones (if the rain would ever slack off). Just PM me if you're interested or know someone who is. A good home is a must.

Cute little guy... I know how accidental breedings go. I had a colt break out of his pasture and breed our pony. Thankfully she didn't take. (wiping my brow). I remember your story of how it happened.

Oh gosh.. that sounds funny. If you'd like to take the time.. I'd love to hear the story.
I think all horses have a mind of their own and they ALWAYS have some michevious thought running through their mind, no matter how calm or lovey they are. LOL!
He's deffinitely adorable though!

LOL Okay, well last summer (06), we got in this gorgeous, very skinny totally wild black stallion as a rescue. He was barely halter broke, if you could call it that and hated to be touched. He was too skinny according to the vet to be gelded. I was told to put 150 pounds on him then call the vet back. That was the day he arrived. We put him in a pen up top of the property behind the barn, all by his lonesome. The fence in the pen was 6.5 feet tall at the time. So, we figured out a good weight gain plan with him and the vet went home. The next day I had to go to the grocery store for our monthly shopping. I noticed that my pony was showing signs of heat and was spending her time at the top of the pasture by the barn. About 150 feet away from the 'stud' pen. So, I brought her down and put her in a pen down near the house and went grocery shopping... I got home about 2 hours later and there they were. Stallion and pony, out in the pasture having, as my daughter put it, a 'date'. I spent the next three hours trying to catch them and seperate them. They didn't want to be caught for some reason. After some careful ground examinatioon we were able to determine that the pony escaped her pen and went back up top and totally flirted at the stallion across the fence. She got him so worked up that he jumped out of his pen - UPHILL no less- then jumped into the pasture with her. Where he proceeded to have a blast being a stallion. After that there was no more 'flirting' between the two and in June this little guy was born. The Stallion was gelded in Sept. and has since gone onto a new home, where he is doing excellent under saddle. Sometimes I think it's not the stallions you have to worry about but those little hussy mares... Had another mare do the same thing this year, only she jumped into the stud pen. He didn't have to go anywhere, she came to him lol. Bratty mares.

*LOL* Yes, I agree... those dang hussy mares! Our little hussy pony had my gelding, Classy worked up so much he was dropped and trying to figure out how to mount her! Ummm... he's over 15 hands and she's 10 hands! Plus my gelding has been a gelding for a long, long time. I bought him as a two yr old and he was a gelding long before that. I wasn't home and my husband knew I wouldn't believe it so he took pictures! *LMAO* Gross.
