The baby giraffe is not so baby any more - she turned for on 4/30, so I thought I'd clean her up, put on her big girl bridle and get some photos for posterity. I think she is about 16.3 now; if she adds a little up front and stops and 17h I'll be happy.

She is definitely one of the more unique personalities I've ever worked with. She is super smart, bold and opinionated. She thinks lunging is the stupidest thing ever. Hopefully she has a better opinion of riding.

Gorgeous girl! Stunning red head. Annabelle isn't jealous is she?

I do hope the backing goes easier for you this time.

What a shame she turned out so unattractive, actually terribly ugly. I will take her off your hands. Please send right away.

There are days when might take you up on that (like when she decides to argue about picking up her feet for the millionth time ).

For reference, this is how she looked when I got her in August of 2018, for anyone looking at spare-parts two year olds:

Thanks Sue! I think Annabelle will be very happy if Tesla takes away some of her workload. And Annabelle wins the shiny coat contest every time.

Lovely girl. There is something so beautiful about a chestnut mare.

O.M.G. She’s gorgeous! She looks like a special one.

She is so cute!! And look at that butt!

Wow, she has really filled out and is looking gorgeous! Good luck with getting on board

Beautiful!

She is lovely. Isn't it nice when they finally decide they are truly part of the equine species and not just glimmers of what's to come?

What is her name?

She's stunning!!

Barn name is Tesla, for her T-shaped blaze, but she thinks her name is Baby Brat-Face.

She is registered with Westfalian as Dame du Couer. By Don Deluxe (DeNiro) out of a Weltmeyer mare to whom she owes her unique personality.

What a change.

Wow. FANCY! I hope she is a good girl as work seeps into her life.

I remember Miss Some Day I Might Grow Into This Head! Indeed she has, she's lovely!
