http://i63.tinypic.com/2llyl3m.jpg Here's the color options from the website!
Also, sorry for the lack of updates! Haven't gotten any pictures on my phone or laptop yet, so I don't have any photos to post. Anyway, Eli is gaining weight wonderfully, and I've now saddled and rode him twice. He definitely has not been ridden with a saddle before, but he's still very good. He's extremely soft in the mouth, and although a bit tense, he still listens well and never offers any funny business. Even over two rides, he's already improved, and he has an AWESOME stop on him - in the sense that you say "ho" and he comes to a stop IMMEDIETLY without any rein. A great trait to have with a young, green horse. |

Okay, I've got a few photos for you all. Totally random, apologies for the bad lighting. Weather here has been yucky so I had to take photos in the barn :D He has gotten really good at standing exactly where I leave him when I ask him to just stand. I love how intelligent and good-minded this boy is.

And my apologies for this - the lighting and color is horrible and washed out, but here you can see how much better shape he is in!

The colour I would go for is a red, white and green can look stunning, especially on arabs! |

He's gorgeous and looks fantastic! Good luck with him :)
After reading about him and checking his pictures/video, Eli reminds me a lot of my boy. When I purchased him, he had been sitting in a field for a few years. He was fat, horribly out of shape, and needed retraining. Besides that, they look alike and have similar personalities.

I put Eli's third ride on him last night! He's so willing and sweet for a green horse. He's very light in the mouth and rounds out so naturally. As you can see in the photos, I have a very light touch on his face, if at all, and he naturally rounds and watches the poles. Such a smart boy! Unfortunately it was really mucky last night in our arena, so pictures are nasty phone photos, but nonetheless, here's pretty boy under saddle! http://i63.tinypic.com/2im0tu9.jpg http://i66.tinypic.com/2gvvmep.jpg http://i67.tinypic.com/1nzfyt.jpg |

Gosh, he is gorgeous. I love his solid build <3 Any future plans developing for him now that you have a better idea of his abilities and personality? |

Thank you - I think so too (and he definitely knows xD). Isnt it great? He's just got substance and it's awesome. I'm thinking hopefully by spring/summer I'll show him halter, and he's SO light and willing - as well as forward - I'm thinking I'll try starting him in the hunter pleasure show ring. Maybe in a few years, I could introduce him to western to see what he thinks. For now though, I plan to show him halter and hunt. Obviously, if he doesn't like the show ring, we'll do something different, but I think from his attitude, he'll really enjoy it. |
