CM Bedford Forrest - Cleveland Bay Sporthorse

17hh my god a monster height
he sounds damn fine ~ looking forward to the photos

yep too big to post piccies on forum

He's just the "middle sized one" ...have a look at Oberon Toblerone, he makes Forrest and Bill look like ponies!

Craig - I just read your avatar.

You are NOT 65. Unfair - that would make me nearly 80. BOOO!

P.S. Forrest is lovely!

if he is 65 i am 100
waiting for the letter

Well Forest is on his way - will be here tomorrow The truck had a problem with a Turbo and had to have it replaced so they got held up in Melbourne! Probably not a bad thing anyhow with the heat! They are resting in Adelaide tonight and be on the way in the morning again

Apparently he is HUGE according to the drivers, and taking up almost 2 bays, lol....... but is a big pussycat and is behaving himself beautifully, and considering when he was picked up from his breeders place to come here was the first time he saw a truck or float - he has been a total champion and just walks on when they ask him!

Couldnt ask for better apparently!

I think Craig just picked a random year when he registered for the forum as a birthdate! lol........ wanted to see how long it would take people to realise....... lol

He's been here for a while now, and is settled in and thinks he owns the place!!! Really lovely temperament and build.

Total gentleman with the ladies!!

We are taking bookings for the 2010 breeding season

Sadly, Forrest is no longer with us The poor boy had a twisted bowel on Sunday and he went downhill VERY quickly.

We miss him terribly and we are really hoping that the three girls who are in foal to him here at our place all have lovely healthy strong foals when they are ready to pop.

Thats terrible, he was such a beautiful man, Hugs xoxo <3 <3

Sorry to hear that. RIP

Sorry to hear Shell.........(((((((Hugs))))))))))) RIP Forrest

So heartbreaking that they can go down so fast and we can't help them, so sad for you and Craig. Forest was absolutely lovely, RIP big boy

Shell & Craig I am so sorry for you loss, he was such a beautiful solid looking boy, with a lovely kind eye. Hope you get some big healthy foals to carry on from him.

i think its finally sinking in, fingers all crossed here that Tabatha is in foal. i was just remembering the day we put her in with him, he stood talking to us for ages..... then he did a head count and realized there was a new girl so off he strutted

(((HUGS))) Shell

My heart goes out to you Shell and Craig, true love stretches the heart but can also break it. Hope that the mares will continue his line

So sorry to hear your devistating news. My thoughts are with you.

So sad for your loss

So sorry to hear about Forrest

Oh no thats terrible hugs Shell and Craig

So very sorry to hear of your loss Shell & Craig, Forrest was a gorgeous boy.

Thanks guys,

I really dont think it has sunk in with me yet..... though its very strange doing a lap around the horses, getting half way up to the other side of town where he was on our other property, and then realising that oops, no horses there anymore (we bought his girl, Ego, home and put her in with the other mares who are preggo)....

I am so exhausted, I am on foal watch and have been for about 10 days or more, am NOT getting a chance to have any daytime naps, and have just been on the go continuously for weeks and weeks.....

I just want him back in the paddock munching away and wandering over for a smooch when we drive up to the fence or gate.....
