Chrome's Monthly Progress Report

Note: The picture was taken on the eighteenth and the measurements today on the twenty first. Sorry about that.

Date: 9-21-12
Age: 3 Years 4 Month
Height: 15.2hh (He's just a hair shy of 15.2hh. Close enough for me.)
Height Gain: None.
Weight: Measurements of 71 for his heart girth and his length measurement of 73, so according to the Equine Weight Calculator he weighs 1115lbs.
Weight Gain: None.

Progress: The Neem oil seems to be helping with the sweet itch, so finger crossed we can prevent it from happening at all next year. :) We worked on longeing a little bit, but things have been BAD at work lately so I haven't felt like doing anything. I'm so ready for things to return to normal....

Goals: I would like to work on longeing and ground driving, but it will depend on the weather and my job really.

Sire: Unknown (Standard Donkey)
Dam: Unknown (Standard Donkey)
Breed: Standard Donkey
DOB: 2007
Height: N/A
Weight: N/A
Color: Gray (what do you call the donkey color??)

Date Aquired: My dad rescued/bought him shortly before I brought Chrome home, but he gave him to us on 1-18-10.

Likes: Treats, forehead scratches, his buddies and braying early in the morning.
Dislikes: Being handled at all (his first three years were spent in someone's backyard never being touched), sudden movements and sometimes his bratty pasture mate Chrome. :D

I'm in my thirties, live in the USA and I love horses (obviously). I've been obsessed with Friesians (that's Chrome's purebred Friesian sire in the above picture) for over ten years. I started riding horses when I was five and always had horses from then until 2007 when I found myself without one. I wanted a Friesian, but the budget wouldn't allow for it so I started looking at crosses. I found Chrome (Friesian/Arabian) and I haven't regretted it for a second. I bought him as a five month old weanling in 2009 and I've done all of his training myself. The blog is about our continued journey together as I attempt to make him my dream all around horse who can do anything from dressage, competitive trail riding, driving, mounted archery, working equitation and anything else we want to try. He's still very green and we obviously have a long way to go, but you're welcome to follow along on our journey. I also love dogs, art, photography, writing, reading, fishing, biking, camping, archery and many other things. You can learn more about me on my About Me page, my Equestrian Bucket List page and my FAQ page.
