New Bloodlines part 2

The first of the new imports have arrived! The trailer from the Importer rolled up today with a spunky Grey Somali colt with great temperament! All I have to say is O M G! When he stepped off the trailer my jaw dropped and I immediately looked from him to the statue of Dom by the gate. The likeness uncanny, Pat looked at my pale face and disappeared only to reappear a few minutes later with a faded, framed photograph of Random Dissapearances. This boy is exactly what I was hoping for temperament wise! All I could do is stare in disbelief. I think my Great Gran has been watching and decided it was time to put the farm back in the news more often. I'd be overjoyed if everyone stopped by for a visit and met Dom. Excitement is high here on the farm while we settle the new boy in.
Dom 
Dom will be named in honor of Random Dissapearances the first World Champion raised here on the farm. While Dom 1 was a regular import this boy will be just as special.

Before the trailer left it had one more special foal for us. A fiesty, hot tempered red headed colt. This mellow shaded sorrel colt will be giving the hands fits, I can see it already. Threw a fit about getting off of the trailer because it wasn't "his" idea. The folks that trailered these boys over are great, and the tantrum didn't last long at all. The vet has given both boys a clean bill of health and wished us luck. While Dom's name came easily I doubt the sorrel's will. Here he is anyway, just watch your fingers, clothes, bags, and especially hats. He seems to think they make a great play thing. He's vigorously shaking Pat's hat as I type, yes much like a dog. Which gives me a great idea for a name!
Elite 
Alas the perfect one was taken, but he is behaving like he is from "high society" so UpperCrust fits too.  Slowly but surely making decisions for the others.

  1. Lovely boys! Very excited to see your new fjords when you get them. I wish I could help you choose, but I would have to suggest Bear's parents since he turned out so great and that might cause your COI to skyrocket as he is so predominant in my herd.

    1. I was considering just matching them up again. But like you said the COI would just skyrocket. Ideally I'd like to bring it down just a bit. It is going to take some time to pick out the parents for that breed.

  2. I'm already in love with Elite, but I think that has a lot to do with his behavior. I've always had a soft spot for the trouble makers of any group lol.

    1. Thank you Marshall! I'm quite smitten with him myself! ^.^ I am very, very pleased with all of the foals I've imported so far this year. I'll be making another post with them in a little bit.
