dirty yellow horse

Monsterpony just left and hopefully she won't mind if I post some of the photos she took while she was here. I actually let her photograph dirty, hairy horses! We've been having pouring rain since Saturday so when I say dirty, I mean [i]really[/i] dirty, too. She took about 500 photos so it will take me a while to look through them all, but of course I gravitated right to the ones of Diana. Here, Diana trots: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/jmpnghorse/Prada/Dianatrot031709…] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/jmpnghorse/Prada/dianatrot031709…] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/jmpnghorse/Prada/dianatrot031709…] Now I have to go feed. Expect more photos later, unless Monsterpony hollers at me for editing her photos. ;) (MP all I did was crop and sharpen, hope that's ok...)

Hey! Why are this buckskin's mane and tail light colored? :mrgreen: Great looking girl. The song "dirty diana" comes to mind. :P

She does look fantastic. I'd love to see a conformation photo since I'll be having a half sister soon. ;)

I assume her ankles are dirty?

accphotography Tue, 03/17/2009 - 22:36

I hate to add another post, but I couldn't chance an edit with so many people online right now.

I am really shocked at how much color she has. I find most of GG's pallys are quite light, ESPECIALLY in their winter coats. Is it possible this is her "falsely dark yearling coat"? I hope it's not as I'd love to think she'll be gold, but I dunno. Rosalynn probably contributed some darkness.

Lace's GG will probably be borderline white it'll be so pale (between him throwing pale and her being SOOO light for a chestnut).

Sara Tue, 03/17/2009 - 22:40

Dirty Diana -- I don't know that song! Who sings it? I have to look it up! :lol:

yes, her ankles are filthy. We had to slog through mud to get to the arena. Sadly it was pouring today or we would have gotten these shots (and the ones of Maggie) outside. I'll get conformation shots of her after she sheds.

Diana was actually darker last winter than she is this winter. I'm hoping she will end up a very dark palomino when she has her adult coat.

accphotography Tue, 03/17/2009 - 22:44

If she was darker last winter, and this is what she looks like now, I'm betting you'll at least have a nice gold (as opposed to pastel yellow). Lucky. :P

vneerland Tue, 03/17/2009 - 23:43

Was that who did it? :? I already forgot.
Don't know who I would like to see let go this week. :o They all did pretty good. Nobody really standing out negatively.

Sorry CC for messing up Diana's thread :oops:

Sara Tue, 03/17/2009 - 23:57

There is no such thing as thread-jacking here. Feel free to discuss whatever you choose in my thread!

Lil and Scott are in trouble IMO. Everyone else was so impressive they really seemed subpar. Since when does everyone do so well on COUNTRY week? *thud*

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Exactly the two I thought did not impress. But....
One has the hugable quality that may keep him in.
The other is a powerhouse and if they vote her off, I think the judges might come to her rescue.
I think that darn Brit has been getting too nice, BTW. He gives good grades to those who deserve mediocre at best. :shock:

We now get back to dirty Diana, formerly known as Prada. :mrgreen:

Heather Wed, 03/18/2009 - 11:38

admit, huge AI follower :HB ... hubby and i watch every week :oops:

I thought of that song for Diana too Vneer...to funny..Cant wait to see how everyoen sheds this year!

ETA ..also I have no DOUBT that JOnny cash would LOVE the remix of Ring of Fire as he himself was doing Nine inch nails remixes himself just before he died! The judges got that one all wrong , that was Bad A**!

Monsterpony Wed, 03/18/2009 - 14:37

Sara- feel free to post and play with any of the pics. If there are any of the Maggie shots you want for the ad that need to fixing, let me know because I have a program that comes with the camera that allows me to do a little more fixing/adjusting with them than you can in photoshop.

Sara Wed, 03/18/2009 - 14:48

Some of the under saddle ones might need some fixing -- check in Maggie's thread to see the ones I like.

It was so great to see you again! I even sort of remembered to feed you something this time! One of these days I'll present you with some herbal tea and a plate of warm banana bread like a good hostess...

To which you will probably receive a confused look and a question of "why are we sitting in here when there are horses to be played with?" :D Anyway, I had a blast and I'll come back again as soon as I can...hopefully in that little window of sunny weather we manage to scrounge up for a couple months in the summer.

Sara Wed, 03/18/2009 - 15:13

Try to come visit in between the two seasons I call "mud" and "flies"! There will be a new baby to play with!

Morgan Wed, 03/18/2009 - 23:51

OH she is beautiful! I love when palominos have those dark eyes. She looks good for her age too, V is so funny looking lately, I can't seem to keep her weight right.

Monsterpony Thu, 03/19/2009 - 00:30

Gah!! How am I suppose to resist a baby?

accphotography Thu, 03/19/2009 - 00:37

I wanna come see the baby!!! Man I so wish you were closer to Port Angeles.

I need to get Daylene to add the *gah* and *thud* smileys. :laugh1

Fledgesflight Thu, 03/19/2009 - 06:20

She's growing up beautifully- love the canter shot!

[size=85]Adam sang that song (ring of fire) brilliantly![/size]

Hopeful thinking!!? :whip :D

accphotography Thu, 03/19/2009 - 15:38

That's interesting that I said that... because I really didn't think I had a preference. In fact, I *thought* I wanted a colt (geldings are so easy). How very odd. Maybe my subconscious is talking to me. That's not the first time I've done that. Maybe it's a gut feeling? Hmmm.

TwinCreeksFarm Thu, 03/19/2009 - 17:22

I was kidding mainly, in contrast to Cisco (16 hands and will be 2 in May) she is a shorty! :lol:
[quote]And, 16 hands?? He would tower over Diana! I think she's about 14.3-15.0 now, higher at the rump.

accphotography Thu, 03/19/2009 - 19:06

15, only two, and definitely still growing? Yiiiiikes. I really need to know how tall Ros is! :lol: Ok just found her on the site and she's 16.1 which is the same height as GG so I suppose she'd end up about there. However, Puchi Trap is also 16.1 and yet her and GG's daughter (Faux Finish) is like 17h or more. *shrug* All I know is Lace's better be under 16!!! With her being at 14.2 I'd assume it would have to be, but that kid will be sold if not! :laugh1
