Wednesday pictures



On Wednesday morning, April 15th, I decided to take some pictures of Tex for a few purposes- to help me gauge his growth, to post on here, and to post onto a forum site in which people critique the confirmation of your horses. I'm still nervous about posting the pictures, and haven't yet. I may wait until he puts on a tiny bit more weight and those scars heal up a bit before posting pictures of him. Looking at them myself was enough critique for one day!

After putting the pictures on my computer and scrutinizing them, I noticed one major thing that needs work (besides the hernia, of course)- his feet, particularly the front right. All four poke outward more than I would like to see, and that one sticks out like a cowlick on husband's hair.



He does look scrawny in these pictures, but I'm nothing but hopeful. I also took some of him with myself and with husband, so that we can measure his height differences over time. That night, I marked a small notch on his stall door at the height of his withers, just in case the pictures make it difficult to interpret small height differences. I'd like to pick up a weight and height measuring tape as well.

I've decided to do my best to take pictures of him AROUND every Wednesday. TM

It's great to chart your horse's progress in pictures - I love looking at Halo's pics now side by side with the ones from a year ago. She looks like a totally different horse, and I'm sure Tex will too.
