Bamidele; whose name means Follow me home. He earned it too. When I was in Africa selecting horses from this rare breed to ship home, this boy as nearly a yearling followed me where ever he could. When I was out of his reach he stood at the place that allowed him to be closest to me. Of course I shipped him home. He hasn't disappointed me either. I had him gelded to reduce the temptation to keep breeding him and getting a thick inbred herd. His two sons, one now gelded will carry on.
The other point earner was Nthanda; whose name means star. I selected this boy's parents as a custom brood from the importer. I was so excited almost exactly what I hoped to get from the parents. I really really wanted a clear filly, so of course I got a carrier colt. But Star hasn't let me down one bit. Earning his BCh in Draft against an established line of Irish Cobs and his own farm mates he still picks up a point against a nice line of Haflingers and his farm mates.
The other three winners the farm had last month rounding out our months points to 7 were two homebred Welsh Cobs and one of the farms Irish Cob studs.
The two Welsh Cobs, one in Beginners Draft and one in Beginners Dressage brought home 4 points!
Thrill and Red. The IC was Crimson in Advanced Draft.
No shows for us this month, getting some of the show string refreshed on their ground manners. Nothing like watching a nearly 30 year old horse drag someone across the driveway. He knew his manners, but a reminder now and then is a good thing.
Until next post!
Congrats on your showing successes! Both your boys are quite the lookers.
