Awwww, thanks. I wasn't in the market for a horse when I first saw her. She was probably about a year old and a friend of mine had brought her back from a Wisconsin auction to resell. I definitely wasn't looking for a young horse, but I just had to have her when I saw her. She has turned out great. Here is one of my favorite photos of her. Her first time in blinders.

[SIZE=12pt]Wow, she looks good between the blinders!

I can see why she's one of those horses you just gotta have.

Here's a link to the newest video I put on Utube of "Beau" - [SIZE=10pt]
[/SIZE]



he has his own blog now, too... [SIZE=10pt]"Beau's Blog"[/SIZE]

I have 4 Mares (we've cut WAY down, much to Beau's disgust...)

We have Sarri, the dam of Beau's National Top Ten mare.... we also have Nana, an Icelandic mare, and then we have a Buckskin 1/2 Arab Beau daughter and an Amber Champagne 7/8ths Arab granddaughter of Beau (a daughter of Khalvin Khlein KpM who is in Germany!)

Then we have a bunch of boarders and the annual visits from outside mares as well.
 
I have 1 biggie left in my ownership. I have him leased out right now,but have owned him since 1996. He is that "once in a lifetime" riding horse for me. He is still the only Saddlebred in New England to qualify for both the NEHC Saddle Seat Medal Finals & the NEHC Stock Seat Medal Finals in the same year. Infact, I think we did it at the same show. When we retired him, the mission was on to find something to take his place. I went through a few, and although each one was very nice, it just wasn't "Fox". My interest then turned to my Mini's and I've been into Mini's and out of the biggies ever since. However, this guy will be in my ownership forever. I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to purchase him and will never find another one quite like him

I no longer have my biggie, but here is a couple pictures of her from when I did own her. This was my pretty baby, Cheyanne. And the last picture is one of her with her (totally unexpected to us!) colt from 2007.

Here are some of my big ones, I don't have pictures of all of them.

This is Chivato Toast, a daughter of Dash to Chivato (by First Down Dash). She is still racing, and has won a couple stakes, and over 20k on the track. She will be bred to Count Corona next month.

This is my wifes Paint a son of Judy's Lineage and racing APHA. He won a couple Paint Futurities in Montana.

I have a son of Skirt Chasin Alibi (owned by the Double Bar S Ranch).

As you can see we like our race horses.
 
This is Anoki. He's a PMU foal, so I don't really know what he is. I do know his sire was a Percheron cross and his dam was a TB cross. He's 10 years old this year, and I've had him for 6 years now. He was started as an Eventing horse, but he has been doing Dressage since I got him (and is quite talented at it too).

These were taken a few years ago...don't have any really recent shots of him

This is Graffix, the last of our big guys......he was born on the 4th of July and is now 13.

He's 3/4 Arab & 1/4 QH - We bought him as a 2+ year old. He has such a wonderful mind.

This is Graffe with Zena, on the day she turned 3 months old. They seem to love each other.

He watched her over the stall wall be born and maybe? for that reason have a real bond.

Here are my larger three lined up nicely for me. Sierra is my 14 hand Haflinger mare, Navigator, my daughter's 14.3 hand Arabian gelding, is in the middle and Aero, my husband's 15.1 hand Arabian gelding is behind everyone but he is in the lead. Just where he likes to be.

Here's my "big" guy. Cherokee is a Registered Bay Leopard POA....right around 14 hands. He is coming 5 & has never been broke to ride. I just got him last fall, so he will be my summer project. He is a real sweetheart, and very easy going...laid back. So I don't "think" he'll be hard to train to ride.

Since I just got him a few months ago.....I have no really good "clean" photos of him, so these will have to do.

NOTE: these were all taken the week I brought him home, and his hooves needed trimmed....BADLY! They have since been done & look soooooo much better.
