(Lots of pics, I think it should be called newhorsepicitis or something)
I just got her on 10/2/2007, however, I was around when she was born. She's not registered yet but her mom & dad are in the database
Sire: Color of Golddust DDG (Color of Diamonds DDG x Baskiadnia)
Dam: HMH Sophie (DWD Tabasco x Allegria)
She is 14 months old (DOB 7/30/2006). She has never really gotten black points they are much more chocolaty and small. I don't know exactly how tall she it, but the ponies that she is closest to are just over 12hh, so she's somewhere around there. I didn't bathe her, but I tried to clean her up as best I could. I would like to register her buckskin & Half-Arab. Probably not really show her, more trail and maybe local shows if I ever get into that sort of stuff. Mostly I wanted to show her off but I would also like feedback. I have more pics of her first day home, they're just not on the computer yet.
General

Her Feet

Her Head

Her tail & mane spot

Walking

Height comparison sort of shots (That chestnut pinto is a solid 12hh easy and bulky, definately not bigger than 12.2. The pony I wanted to use for comparison shot, cause I've taped her was being mean to Tink, so no go! The palomino pony is a light build 12-12.1hh. The little grey guy is probably 10.1-10.2hh)

I think this is cute, follow the leader!

Not many people replying on the board lately. guess everyone is busy, I know I have been.
She does have a cute face, a level topline, and looks like a nice neck. She also looks underfed and wormy. Some things in the pictures concern me but have nothing to do with her conformation. and hey, at least you gave her a home.
Did you buy her at auction? What are your plans for her?
I also recently bought a new horse (like we don't have enough) and am anxious to get some weight on her and watch her bloom Very Happy

Then yall will have to look out cause I'll be posting like mad.
And just a heads up on the worm subject. Recently wormed everyone here, twice in 30 days (differant chemicals) and then helper noticed worms in a just made pile of poop so off to the vet we went with a sample (just had a sample checked last week from differant horse pile of poop 100% clear). Tapeworms! Last chemical was supposed to kill those! So, here we are 5 day panacur powerpack! Was cheaper to get the dosage from the vet than if I had ordered it! Less than $11 for the 5 days worth! I have seen the pac advertised and it was $50-55! So, moral to this story, check with your vet first.

Thanks for the reply. I think she's adorable. It's a long story, but her parents were at the barn I used to work at. Her mom was my favorite horse EVER. The barn had to shut down about the time she was weaned. She was sent to the local auction *shiver*. I was heart broken, I knew her mom got a wonderful home (She was privately placed) but had no idea where Tinkerbell ended up. The lady that bought her advertised her on Craigslist just recently and I saw her and just about had a heart attack! I had to get her, so I worked out an arrangement where I did. Yay! Yeah, everybody on Craigslist was saying that she was wormy and underfed too. The lady I got her from said she wormed every 6-8 weeks (whenever she did feet). I think I'll see about getting the powerpack for her, cause I believe it's safe for yearlings right?
Anyway, She'll probably just end up being a trail/pleasure horse as I've never, ever in my life shown (though I wouldn't mind. . . just don't know anybody that does to show me the ropes!). She may get a job (If she stays level headed, sweet and dead broke enough) as an occasional pony party horse.
Her parents both had great conformation. Mom, especially (course maybe I'm a little biased? Very Happy

). If you go to this website http://harmonyroad.com/ref/tabasco.htm and look at pictures of DWD Tabasco (mom's dad) mom looks JUST like him (except more white), built like him, moves like him. GORGEOUS! I could go on and on about her momma!

Have your vet give you a program for worming for your little girl. He knows best what type and rotation and time of year for wormings for your area and can help best get your little girl up to snuff.

6 - 8 weeks is terrible in one so young. Shame. Few realize the damage done now she will carry with her the rest of her life. But, she is young and sounds like going to a wonderful home.

Wish you and her the best.

Give her a dose of Zimectrin Gold first before the power pack. It treats tapeworms as well and is for use at 1 year and up. Im in the same boat as you and just had the vet out for a consult with a WB filly here. He said if no improvement in a couple weeks after the Zim Gold THEN do the power pack.

Any updates on this filly?

Tink is living in CA, being leased by a 4 H-er. . .hasn't gotten any bigger than about 13.2h. She's doing quite well and is definitely a lead mare like her mommy and grand mommy before her.
