I knew him for about 2 years before I brought him home and this is his first season here. Hate having to wait a year for his foals
He is such a quiet stallion but he oozes prescence. His favourite game is to chase the car up the driveway, he'll go flat out all the way with that lovely thick mane flying
I must admit, I may be fond of working my horses up for the ring (and I've seen Tinker's old show shots and he did it like a pro!) but I do like watching them go all hairy and natural in their breaks.
I keep saying the only thing stopping me from bringing Tinker out again is that I refuse to cut his mane
I totally respect who does shows as I myself have done them but now I just prefer to see them as they are, they look like real horses and not something for Barbie to play with
They are such different looks. I compare Pallidon's show photos to the shots of his sire who, like Tinker, has been a paddock horse for about 5 or more years after finishing his show career. I actually can't wait until Pallidon gets to have that heavy mop of hair and deep golden coat that he just can't get while being clipped. Then I'll have two wild and hairy stallions to photograph!
I'm so very fond of this little stallion. He is such a ladies man to the point where he ignores any men who come into the paddock... but comes straight up to me! He has always prefered his female handlers to his male ones.
He can actually be hard to photograph due to being so dark and with so much mane. But if you catch him in action he just blows you away!
