Oh we need to see pics!!! How wonderful. Are you going to keep him as a stallion?

Niara it is on the way..... we were expecting 45-50 degrees and it is 60 degrees.... I think our weather is one day ahead of yours!!! SPRING IS HERE!!!!!! ;D

Holy wind blows through his mane, His mane of rainbows.
My horse’s ears are of round corn, His eyes of stars.
I am wealthy because of him.
I am eternally peaceful. I stand for my horse.

I'm working on the pics!! I'll have them up on my website soon, if not tonight. I have to show off my boy!! ;D

It didn't snow here last night, that's for sure, but maybe the night before, I was gone picking him up in PA.

I am keeping him a stallion actually. He won a decent amount on the track, and is a half brother to the 3rd leading sire in NY State, son of Judge Smells (leading sire in PA in '99 I believe). He's got such a spectacular temperament, I can't believe it. I rode him tonight, he hasn't been ridden in a year I think.. He was GREAT. Walk/trot/some canter (he's LAZY!!!!!!!!)... My plans for him right now are to possibly show him in some hunter shows this summer, then find him a farm to stand him (promote him as a race sire and hopefully a performance sire) for the next three years that I'll be in school and unable to do it.
I am breeding him to my AQHA mare this year. He covered a great race bred TB mare last month, too soon to tell, but hopefully she is bred. I'm very excited about the poss. of the appendix baby.. Should be a real nice hunter. I'm going to be very selective this year about who I breed him to, want him to have a great first crop.

I just love this boy though...

Other way around Niaru. :tongue:
Nero's on the left...
His name is "His Testimony" and I have yet to come up with a nickname.. I'm working on it....
He's got some really good race bloodlines, his half brother is the 3rd leading sire in NY right now (was leading last year). And he is a spectacular mover. He covered one mare this year already and you'd never be able to tell he's a stud. Walks around the barn behind me like a big sweetie. Never looks the mare's way and never attempts to be a bad boy. :horsie:
