Looking for a little Friday afternoon fun.
This is my 18 mo old Guaranteed Gold baby that I was given in June.

You know that’s not a fair question :D, absolutely beautiful. I love the color.
Really nicely balanced and so cute! Good Luck!
He has a nice front end and quite well-proportioned overall. His parts all seem to match well, and the color’s a bonus! Very cute!
His hind end looks a little weak, but that’s typical at this age. A little handwalking, ponying, or ground driving could help build him up, if you’re so inclined. If he’s getting turned out 24/7 and left alone to grow up, that’s fine too.
I’ve taught my 16-month old TB to ground drive and I work with him 4-5 days a week, either in hand or ponying (no lunging or round penning). He’s still intact (for now), and I’d rather introduce manners, discipline, and work ethic while he’s 700lbs and not 1100. My time spent prepping TB sale yearlings made me realize that 20-30 minutes of daily walking with young horses can do a lot for their maturity, both mentally and physically, without excess stress. It turns them into solid citizens ready to accept future lessons. 
Thank you
He is turned out 12 hours a day with a 3 other Thoroughbreds so lots of running and playing! I do hand walking every other night, I am planning on showing him in the breed classes so I have been prepping for that.
