Meet big brother Bubba, he was born two years ago this September. However, if horses enter into competition, regardless of a horse's actual birth date, they are considered a year older on January 1 of each year
Bubba has the same mother and father as Buster. He already stands over 16 hands. Horses are measured by hands . A hand equals 4 inches. If you hold your hand like you are pointing at someone then straighten all your fingers that's one hand. You could then stack one hand over the other and measure the height of the horse. You measure up to the highest part at the back of the neck and that is known as withers.
Bubba has been around people since he was as old as Buster. He is very comfortable around people. He loves to pose for the camera.
That last picture is a riot. C'mon Bubba, give me your good side!
ReplyDeleteHe is gorgeous. Or handsome may be the more appropriate word!
