That's very cool about King Tiger. I'll have to do up a Falabella Blend pedigree for you. I owe Holly several, but I've been so crazy, I haven't quite finished them. So, I'll add another one to my list!
Your boy is certainly handsome, and they both did this little one PROUD!

I really appreciate all the info on Halter training. Diane I would have liked to have been your foal. I am afraid we have already made a lot of mistakes so we will use everybodys' ideas from now on. Here is photo of him just standing in stall with halter on. We are behind the camera very near.

Clara, just replying to your comment that you think you have made alot of mistakes with halter training , please dont think that. You are making great interaction with your foal which is great . I have a little mare who is 9 and was very much left for her first 5 years. The only interaction she had with her owners was that they would rush her into the corner of a stable to have her feet trimmed and now she suffers from major trust issues. Being that the only interaction she had was such a rushed experience for the first 5 years, its no wonder she has the issues that she does.
Once on the lead she really is a sweet mare , loves to be brushed and doted over. Its getting close enough to her to apply the halter that is the issue. Normally she will approach me and then realise at the last second how close she is and flip out. She has been like this since she was sold to the lady before me.
As you can see everyone has different ideas regarding halter training , But we all agree that some interaction is necessary early on :)
By the way he is very cute ( and not shy of the camera ) :)

As Ryan said, we all do things differently, so you haven't made mistakes, you just did things differently. He looks just fine, and so handsome in his pretty halter!
