So... other than leg and body position, can you spot the differences?

Forelock is wavy 16. Thicker body 17. Rump is rounder 18. Blue halter 19. White on muzzle is thinner 20. Head is bigger 21. Face is wider 22. Mane & tail are whiter - but only because I just washed them!! |
Did you spot some differences that I missed?
Oh, and did you notice that Doc was wearing a pretty blue halter? Could it be the one that Gail was trying to find At the Farm?! No, Doc didn't take Magic's blue halter. Gail will have to continue to look for it!

Other differences that only a 'mom' would know include:
- Pippin is the chow hound. He loves food and is always looking for a treat.
- Doc loves to be rubbed and cuddled. He will stand all day if you rub his cheeks or under his chin.
- Pippin does not, can not and will not stand still! He is like a child with ADHD.
- Pippin is usually the first to come up to me in pasture - perhaps that's because of the first comment... and maybe the third comment!
- Doc is usually the first to whinny at me in the morning.
- Doc prefers not to get into the trailer.
- Pippin has no problem getting into the trailer, but prefers not to back out!
- Pippin often has scrapes and small cuts from being kicked and bitten.
- Doc gets tired of Pippin's silliness and pushiness and lets him have it!
We often call the boys 'Tweedle-Dum' and 'Tweedle-Dee'; or Frick and Frack. Where one is, you can usually find the other. Despite minor altercations, they seem to be best buddies and usually are found side by side.
I spotted quite a few of the differences,1,3,5,6,7,10, and 11 on Pippin, and 4,5,6, and 7 on Doc. Also, Doc is lighter colored above his hocks and looks to be a little deeper bodied than Pippin.
ReplyDeleteEither way, they are pretty boys.
The first thing that I noticed was that Doc was a good deal stockier then Pippen is. Then I forgot to check and just focused on how beautiful they both are, with those big, kind eyes.
ReplyDeleteI didn't have time to look very long - but their blazes are different and Doc is more muscular/larger in the barrel.
ReplyDeleteLove them - they are both gorgeous!!!

ReplyDeleteI don't care what the differances are. I think they are both terribly handsome. Either can come play with me. Since both are gedlings I guess we can only play!!!

And i thought your policemen were "allowed" to be a bit rude.... if they had to go to that funeral... but mine... NO WAY! haha

All I could notice that was obvious was the thickness/thinness of the blazes. Everything else is so subtle and such minor differences that it's impossible for me to see unless maybe I was there in person.
ReplyDeleteThey are both the cutest haffies, though.

I love your horses! They are beautiful! They definitely are different and I bet there personalities are just as different! I have a Halfinger mare and she is a blast! It is nice to find another blog with Haflingers!
