Oh, Clara. He is just lovely, and doing so well!! What a handsome boy!!
Are you repeating the breeding?

He is looking so AWESOME, Clara. Love that color blue on a black horse, too.
No, you have not made any mistakes. You've just learned that some things work and some probably don't. Since he looks so calm and relaxed - hamming in front of the camera - I'd say - nope, no mistakes either!
Something I don't think any of us really mentioned - is there are also differences in each foal (sometimes in full siblings born to the same parents, too) and your methods of training may need to change to accommodate different foal personalities, time that you do/don't have, physical changes in your self (I am not in the shape I was when I was younger - weight and fitness both - and it's harder to do some things like I used to!). So, NO WORRIES!!
Seems he is doing JUST FINE with what you've done so far.

as to repeating the breeding, Diane. I don't think my husband will go for that. I have too many horses. I need rid of three big horses. But I do need a little girl in order to get rid of my big mare in order to keep my agriculture exemption. I am pleased with his markings and coloring. This is probably her 4th foal. She was open for the past 3 years. She is nine I think. When can she be bred back? Should she really be bred back this year? Do u think the breeding was good? Do u think we got the L & D Scout line to come out strong? Both parents have L & D Scout grandpa on top side. I recently found out that sire has not been DNA tested , so I must do that to register the colt. Dam has hers. Both parents AMHA and AMHR registered and I did pay and turn a stallion breeding report last year. When should I register him? What do u think about showing him as a yearling? I am not sure I am up to it. Do u still know people that would show him? As time goes on, I would appreciate your expertise on evaluating him for conformation, etc. to see if he is a winner.

Paula, thank you for your comments. None of us are what we used to be, I am 66 years old and fat and I only wish I had the time and money to have been able to had the horses when I was younger. I am going to send u a photo of the first time I drove my mini mare in May. I finally found a guy to teach me to harness her up. The second time we did it by ourselves, we had a pony cart wreck. My husband has no patience--bipolar. He was holding her with a rope around her neck as I began to get in when she decided she had a feather up her butt. took off ..he stopped her and she reared up in the airrrrrrrrrrrrr my one leg in the cart got banged real good and the cart flew up and hit me in the stomach. This all happened in seconds. It is very hot here now with water standing most places. Next fall when it cools, we will try again with a halter that will fit over her rig. u see we are all still more adventuresome than most!! I have a little girl across the street that lovs horses and parents are just too busy to bring her over. Can u believe that? It is a shame that young kids are not more involved. I would have loved to had one when I was a kid.
