Happy Birthday Austin!!!

Austin turned five today! I can't believe I've had him for almost four years now! He has grown and matured a lot, yet he is still the same old Austin. I gave him a bath and took pictures for his permanent registration papers for AMHA. Anyhow, here is a look at Austin when I first got him...









And Austin today...

Squeaky Clean

Austin got a bath today! Just a couple pics of him afterwards...

and today he got stripes...

I should've thought of clovers for St.Patty's! But I didn't so Austin got stripes...





He's tired of me messing around with his hair. He has a reputation with the ladies to uphold.


So I gave in and shaved his entire body (except his legs are still hairy for protection). He was much happier. I'll post more pics of him later this week once
I fix his bridle path....

"Double Stuft"

Austin has looked like this all winter




It's starting to heat up already in AZ and he's been shedding like crazy. Today I finally got the time to do a rough clip job on my little man. However, I didn't have time to do all of him so i had a little fun....I shaved his head, neck and part of his shoulders, and I shaved his caboose. This left a nice creme filling in his center, not to mention hairy legs. LOL. He kind of reminds me of an oreo, hence, today's title. Anyhow, this was the end result:






Then I told him to smile pretty for mama and this is what I get:


"Not to worry Austin, you'll be looking ostentatious by the end of this week..." There we go!

Austin's Journal Begins

I'm starting a "journal" for my stallion Sagebrush Tamales Austin Tatious!

I decided to do this (since I have now moved away from home) mainly so that my family and Austin's previous family (Sagebrush Miniatures in NM) can see how he is doing anytime. Also, I thought I would enjoy it and it might get him a little more publicity.

So....
Check back tomorrow as Austin will be getting a nice haircut!!
