Like Father...

[dancinghorse]

So I'm spamming lj. So shoot me.

It's Number Three Son's birthday, and lynnesite has been recording him and his sister Twix for posterity. We always knew Pooka was essentially a rubber stamp for his genes, but now we have objective proof.

Dad:



Hawkeye:



Dad:





Twix:




The Pooka photos, be it noted, were taken when Pooka was a little older than Twix, the first time Hawkeye's future human mom met him and agreed that he needed to be the father of her foal.


Who needs cloning when you have a Pooka?

That's one prepotent sire you have there. Good thing he's so handsome. :)

We call it the Optional Equipment for a reason. ;>

If he weren't damn-near-perfect and passing it on, he'd be the cutest gelding in the West.

Damn! That's a lot of hotness! ^_~

Nice to have the preview of what Cori's going to look like as she grows up. :)

Cloning has its benefits.

SO handsome!

[sartorias.livejournal.com]

Talk about a total hottie fest!

Wow. Cool! (Okay, just wanted to use my Pooka icon.)

:D.

DAYYYYUM.

Very, very nice. As soon as I win the lottery, I want a Pooka kiddo of my own.

[xianghua.livejournal.com]

Addendum: Or get a better-paying job, because I reallY DO want a Pooka kid and winning the lotery is strikingly unlikely.

Very handsome. All three.

[mizkit.livejournal.com]

Wow. What a bunch of beauties.

<swoon>

I want a pony.

[heleninwales.livejournal.com]

What a handsome chap! He sires very handsome offspring too.

Is da pink pook nose on Twix! Awwwwwwwww.

[ceffyl.livejournal.com]

If it wasn't for the pink nose on Twix, I would have sworn that they were the same horse.

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!

[miintikwa.livejournal.com]

O.o

Wow.

I'm in awe. And Hawkeye is one pretty pony. I cannot wait to see what he turns into!

Thanks to the proprietor for finding those old pix, the difference in Pooka's standing shot and now is rather wonderful. And the pink nose is the kissing spot, of course. She demands kisses from visitors too to their initial consternation and then happy acceptance.

I got the Pooklet I wanted, and she has really blossomed since hitting 5. Would recommend Pooklets to anybody who wants smarts, substance, beauty, great feet, trainability and of course the BOND.

Hawkeye is edging towards 15.2hh and he expresses his Arab heritage more than daddy's girl Twix. He is in harness with PVC shanks now, which was a non-event. Twix is in the lines and knows things like shoulder in, we'll be driving her a little too, some day we'll be driving her a lot as she has the perfect temperament for it. She's been backed but post-laminitis (now feeding this Pooklet like a pony) I've put off the riding for a bit longer. She is still growing her withers, and boy was I happy when those popped up.
