Splash, baby Arab Quarter horse spooks while learning to 'pony'

Here we have 6 month old Splash learning to pony by walking along side his Mommy. But,..... suddenly the neighbor's sprinkler heads pop up and we are all in for a surprise!
This is the beginning of a video diary series of Splash, our 6 month old half-arab half-quarter horse paint foal. We hope you enjoy him as we progress with our training, his silly antics, and beautiful spirit. What a handsome boy he is and oh how we love him.

I love how the mom has a white mane and black tail and Splash has a black mane and white tail ^.^ hehehe

[thunderita]

@CodysTuffLilLena , ha ha! You are very observant! That is one of my favorite things about them, that they are opposites with the mane and tail. Tks.

if you look closely, the mare spooked and made the colt spook

[thunderita]

@thearabianwolf , She sure did. And that was because the neighbor's sprinker heads popped up from the ground and started spraying! ha ha! Mom had never experienced that before!

They are both very beautiful. Their colors are amazing.

@AppaloosaForever , awe, thank you.

You are so right! Should have had that helmet on. Don't know why I didn't that day. You don't need it until you need it!

Some other breed just with spots.. Common misunderstanding

[CynaRed]

@breanneburtch just because a horse is spotted does not mean it is a paint. I know lots of people who say horses are "paints" and really they are some other be

This video is so cute! I love seeing baby and mama together. :)

[breanneburtch]

clearly not quarter horses the moms a paint(which either he sire or dam could have been qh)but you can't get a paint or pinto from 2 pure qh's. Just saying as non horse people if seeing tis video would then mistake all coloured horses as quarter horses

How old is the baby now?

@thunderita Every time I fall off a horse, I get back up and say, "And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why we wear helmets." Once I fell off my horse when he spooked during a trail ride. I landed on my back, bounced, then landed on my head and slid about a foot. The day prior, one of the adults at the stable I work at told me that I should wear a helmet when trail riding. :D
