Daddy-O outdid himself at the Circle City Equestrian “B” in Hunter Breeding on 7/16/10.  He took 2nd in the 3 year olds and then Reserve Champion in the Best Young Horse!  There were some quality entries this year — I am very proud of this guy.  Check out his photos in show braids — he’s so cute!

Manny showed in the 2 year old Hunter Breeding at Circle City Equestrian “B” on 7/16/10.  He took First Place in excellent company!  He always turns heads even outside the arena.  New photos with braids added to his page.

Manny (Commence the Magic) was shown in the 2 year old Hunter Breeding class at Meadowview Farms last weekend.  He took First Place in the company of horses, and also took Best Young Horse.  He is truly a knockout!

Don’t miss Daddy-O at Lakeside Arena Hunter Show 6/26 – 6/27.

Commence the Magic “Manny”  received Reserve Champion for the 2009 Welsh Pony and Cob Society of America High Score Award, North Central Region, Half-Welsh Colts and Fillies!  Congratulations, Manny!

Spiderman is really ready to go now.  He is child-safe, has local show experience, is packing kids around small courses.  Carol tells me he never even looks at the jumps anymore.  This little guy needs a home with a child to love, preferably someone who will continue his hunter training.  He could/should be a serious competitor.

With her winter coat, Tupelo is an adorable yellow fluff ball.  She remains healthy and perky.  At 5 months old she now ties, leads, stands for grooming and farrier, and has had a few round pen sessions.

Daddy-O  remains in light work just to keep him developing mentally and physically.  He hacks in the indoor and the open fields (weather permitting).  Just started cantering under saddle.  He’s got three excellent gaits and a great brain!  I adore this little guy.

Manny’s training is proceeding so well. He now lunges in a surcingle — never an objection on his part. What a pleasure he is, and so handsome. Check out his photos from the Heartland Welsh Show.

Manny was shown at the Heartland Welsh Double Gold show in August.  This was his first trip ever away from home.   Showing in the Half-Welsh Colts and Geldings 2 and Under, he brought home a first place under one judge, and a third under the other judge.  He was pinned Reserve Champion by the same judge in the Half-Welsh 2 and Under (Colts, Geldings, and Fillies).  Note that he was shown in excellent company, and that included both weanlings and two year-olds!  Not bad for a yearling to bring home a Reserve in that age group!  We are very proud of this youngster.
