Justin and I bought Bo from some friends in Princeton Illiniois, we had owned a couple of their horses in the past and I really fell in love with that bloodline. We had intended to use this big boy as a stallion prospect, but he was way too much horse for me!!! He thought he was a big bad stud as a yearling, and I was just having to work him too hard to keep his attention on his manners, I felt it was going to be him or me in the end, so thus we decided to castrate him and I will tell you, the next day he was a different horse! We're devoloping quite a partnership. He still has a long way to go before I'd consider him broke, but we've been on several trail rides and he's doing great, he's the kind of horse that is loyal to that one person, I don't mind that, he knows he's mine and I belong to him. I look forward to several years and many miles with him. He's a big horse, has a commanding presence to him, and such a intelligent mind, alittle high strung if not worked regularly, but I really don't mind that eather. Theres simply nothing like having a one on one relationship with a horse that you've spent alot of time with. this is my partner.  Bo has some points in Most colorful, with very limited showing as a two year old.
     

Sheik's Bright Banner

Chestnut Snowcap that Roaned

Banner and Justin late summer 2009    
 

 

   

Banner was purchased as a weanling from a breeder in Tennessee that has been a lifelong friend, he also sold me my first appaloosa! Donald Davidson has been breeding appaloosas for more than 40 years, he's an exceptional horse person and breeds some really nice foundation horses, and long horn cattle as well.  I showed Banner alittle as a yearling in lunge line, and since he's been shown in some local shows, and really done well. But his main job was as my riding horse for many years. he's a super sweet boy that never tested me, he's always been a willing partner and a safe companion. he lost sight in one eye about two years ago, but he's never let that stop him from being a dependable ride. Justin rides him on trail rides and I've given riding lessons on him, he'll continue to be a member of our family his whole life, as he'll never be sold. Justin will ride him till his baby is old enough, and then I'll loan him out to anyone else that needs a safe boy to ride. He's a special horse. They don't come like this one every day, he's special.

Black and white Leopard

 

 

We just purchased this colt from Jim Ferris of Ferris appaloosas,We were so happy to get this colt! Justin needed a gelding to call his very own. Of all the horses on this farm, justin had never had the joy of raising a baby as his. he was particular about what he wanted, and he wanted loud!! This colt was exactly what we had been seeking, and he's so laid back and quite a silly character, he climbs his door just Like Bo, LOVES the girls! Backs up to his ball in his stall and bumps it with his butt, Picks the alfalfa out of his hay and leaves the rest in the floor. Poops on the stall wall, go figure on that one! He must back up to it when he has to go! But I know, that with all the handling that he'll get here, that he will be a wonderful gelding for justin. He's going to do all the work with him himself, from start to finish. I think thats important to form a bond between the two. I'm afraid the attention my loud colored horse gets when we ride is going to fade beside this boy and Justin one of these days, DC will be started under saddle this spring, he's going to be a one of a kind riding horse, and a sure eye catcher!
