Big deal, I know, but I really love recognizing my horses' birthdays. And Speedy's is an easy one to remember because it falls on tax day. My annual joke is that I wish he counted as a tax break. Speedy was a very gangly three-old old when I bought him. He was tall for an Arab at over 15 hands, but he was all frame, no muscle.  What a baby! He has matured into a handsome eleven year old though. I don't have any brand-new pictures, but this one is from March. He hardly looks like the same horse!  Handsome dude! Happy birthday to you, Speedy G!

That's very kind of you to say, Kelly. I think he's cute of course, but that's probably the rose colored glasses. :0)

I love that his mane and tail are still nice and dark--such a gorgeous contrast to his lighter coat. Happy birthday Speedy G! 4/15/2015 07:55:20 am
Thank you, Carly. Mane and tail aren't as dark as they were, but he's holding onto the color longer than I thought he was going to. Comments are closed.
