Thanks. I'm really anxious to hear about the new horse. Sex, color, age, etc. etc. :) Well, I'm guessing a gelding since he's a he and he's in the pasture with other horses. Oh, and pictures.
Hi Duchess and everybody. If I figured out how to use a digital camera I would have pics but it will have to wait until I go into town (nearest WalMart) an 80-mile round trip, but I will go this week and have some for you.
He is a sweet-natured gelding, 10 years old, AQHA registered. He's a chunk, too, very typy. Big butt, good neck. All bay. Sweet-looking head and eyes which is to be expected as he is Doc Bar twice over.
Also has (for those who know AQHA foundation sires) Poco Bueno and Wimpy. He is also a double grandson of a foundation sire I hadn't heard of named Pretty Buck. I looked up Pretty Buck on the net and he was a Waggoner ranch sire, out of a Rainy Day Mare. Those a good lines. Pretty Buck mainly showed at haltere.
But all those lines are performance lines, not racing. He has a very smooth trot and lope. Well, I am excited about him.
Went down to the pasture this a.m.just to look at him and get some pictures.
He was in a lot about the size of a city block for a year so I am just letting him get to know my mare and donkey and graze to his heart's content on my 30-acre pasture. He came right up to me.
Mine mine all mine!
