Hi There Rebecca
Yes he has grown up....he filled out well with work.......he may have even grown a little in height..he is having a winter break as I work too much over Oct-March to do any justice to my horses...He is not complaining, eating is his…
Oh, yes, yes, to all offered! How can I ever thank you!! I'll send a regular email...and I have to say, Guy had crowds of people around him at the show. It was at a very fancy barn with very fancy, nervous horses. There he stood, allowing people to love him.
Thank you so much for the wonderful info! Wow, yes I will photocopy and keep in the trailer. I agree, we have to allow our wonderful geldings to be the ambassadors for this special breed of horse.
I love the Exmoor stallion. He seems to be a special individual, something about him really got to me. I'd love to meet him someday.
I plan on coming up the night before the event, I guess that would be July 3. I'd love your help, but I'd never ask you to spend the day...whatever you can manage would be most excellent and another chance for a visit.
Can a regular person buy one of your scarves? Gosh, they are really incredible. Are they available anywhere near me?
What is your regular email address?? Mine is mountainlaurel@gmail.com
The hunter pace looked perfect, absolutely right up my alley. We would have had a great time....well, there's still plenty of time in the fall for paces.
I won't be able to get away for the whole day on Saturday. If you know about another ride coming up, let me know so that I can plan for it. I'd love to come up your way.
I'll let you know when I receive the results of the DNA test. I could not do parentage verification because we don't know who the parents are, and that test is reserved for foals whose sires are already in the system.
Either way, I do love my little black horse of iron, and I feel very fortunate to have him. I think I may continue to try to find his breeders through the auction from which he was purchased.
I had a great time with you and I'm so happy our two Canadian Cousins got along famously. Glad you are taking Luke to your lesson!
I was at Mohonk yesterday and did a repeat of the same ride, but trotted almost half of it, including that hilly portion of Humpty Dumpty. Guy just sort of goes along at one pace (not a fast one!), which is very different from my Standardbred mare (or your Arabian, I'd imagine).
This Saturday eh? What time? I am doing a horse show on Sunday (only three classes to practice jumping fancy jumps in a ring) but I think he's fit enough to do both. If I don't have plans with my son, I"ll try to join you.
Wow, I am so bummed I can't be at this show. My husband and I are in California that week, just returning the 28. We are doing a 7 day bike ride through wine country!
I did plan to do an event at Old Chatham in July. I've never been there before. In June, I am going to GMHA for an event. I'm just getting back into the sport after over twenty years...this little black horse is a lot of fun. I have two other horses, a nineteen-yr old Standardbred mare with whom I did competitive trail, and her baby colt, half Morgan. He's almost a year old and I hope to event him as well as competitive trail/endurance.
Well, I generally have two days off per week thanks to our economic downturn, so maybe we could meet up at Mohonk if you're in the mood for a day-trip? We could do whatever distance you want, any pace.
I've contacted the fellow who gave me this horse, trying to see if I can trace his breeding.
