BALDOWRAN LEWIS - Is our little lanky Clydesdale Colt, He's to make 17.2hh. Born on the 17/07/2013.
This page is made for him so you can see his progress over the years from 6 months old, he's a bright bay colt with 4 socks and a blaze, unusual lightning stripe that going up his leg which makes him extra special to us.
This is Lewis at only 6 months old and just weaned from his Dam. As you can see he was a nervous little lad.
Lewis's Sire : Alfie
Lewis's Dam: Rosie
The Day After Lewis Arrived
He was a scared little boy at almost 10 months old.
As you can see in the picture he had little top line, skinny bum and gut. we had a lot of work to do.
One Week Later
Lewis at 12 Months old
Look at the Difference !
He's turning into a proper Clydesdale, lost his Fluffy coat and growing between each visit.
Still Has a bit of top line to go but he now loves attention and kisses. Acts more like a dog than a horse.
Last measurement was 14.1hh
So Proud of him.
Next Step -
Getting him Used to Rugs & Lifting His Hooves.
Progress with Rugs
He has had his rug on and off now several times and getting better each time we do it, very proud of this little lad, He was a 5'9" when we started training him with rugs and in two weeks he's now a size 6ft in rugs.
Picking up his feet
Well we can lift his front legs very well and he holds them for a few seconds so getting better, started his back legs and he lifts but doesn't relax yet but he's getting there slowly but surely. He has shown that much progress im confident he wont be too bad getting trimmed by the Farrior for the first time.
Look at the Size and Build of Him!
As an extra special surprise for Lewis we bought his mother, he hasnt seen her since weaning, this photo below was their introduction. She tried to bite him... full video on our facebook pages: Murray Stables & Murrays Clydesdales.
