3W Ranch Belgians

Yes those are our horses up on the hill taken last weekend in our pasture (04/ 04/09) in the picture top left! 

Our eldest Belgian is Noreen Queen, she is 27 this year (2009) and doing great.  We had a horse balancer work on her and she runs everywhere now.  She also loves to scratch her butt on everything and slowly dismantle things in the process.   She is obstinate and sweet and oh so extremely stubborn unless you have her halter on, then she behaves like she should.   She will walk up to you and put her head on your shoulder if she wants something.  

Maggie WAS our lead Belgian (and she can't seem to forget that); she takes nothing from any other horse (except Storm & Bea now)  and oh is she bossy Maggie is 18hh and weighs in about 2000#; she has a tickle spot under her belly and is ALWAYS hungry.   Maggie foaled 3W's Lightening Bolt April 21, 2008, you can see his pictures and video's on this site.

April is our registered Belgian mare, she is Maggie's buddy a slight darker sorrel and she is 18.2hh and weighs in about 2200#.  She has no patience when it comes to being fed, she will walk up a fence (tearing it down) she paws even her own food bowl which is 3 ft off the ground.

Gracie is our little Belgian Brabant filly.  She's gorgeous with her silver coming into her fur.  She is a very pushy filly and quick of foot when Maggie comes around!  I've thought she would make a great dressage prospect because she will cross her front legs and bend!    She loves the grandkids.

We then got 2 PMU Mares from that same friend that got them from a rescue in Canada.   One was actually used as a PMU the other was used as a breeding mare.   Sorrell B (Bea) is the PMU mare and Josie (Jo) was the breeding mare; she's a huge huge roanish blonde mare.  Bea foaled 3W's Splash o' white the end of April 2008; she is 1/2 belgian and 1/2 percheron, very pretty dainty little thing.

After that we got 2 more of the PMU Mares from Cananda, these are Percheron's; Jeanne & Storm.   Jeanne has a very sweet shy personality and Storm is the lead mare!  She's kicked Maggie's butt a time or two.

Rachel is our first rescue we took in other than the PMU Mare's from Canada.   She and April are buddies, she is lead mare unless Storm, Bea or Maggie is around. 

Then of course there is 3W's Benjamin Lynzee whom has his own page.
