The new TB goes hunting

[3Dogs]

Haven’t often posted on this forum but I thought I would share the story of the young TB I got about 2 months ago. He arrived dead quiet and I and a great friend who rides with Moore County Hunt have been taking him out getting him fit.

Quietest darn 5 year old!!! A dreamboat - he had his debut with Moore County today - my friend Katelynn rode him (she belongs to the hunt !) and he was just wonderful:

Here is a wee album of his first day out!

May take him the show ring during the summer - an old fashioned all purpose TB :yes:

Are you grinning from ear to ear??? Your gelding is so elegant and he looks content within the hussle and bussle of the hunt atmosphere! Congrats!![/QUOTE]

Oh SLW - I am over the moon:yes:. 20 years mucking around (and having some fun- some of the time;)) in the H/J world - I forgot what it is I REALLY like doing - he is a total joy!!!

Have to give a big thanks to Stacey at Camalou Farm in FL.

He’s a dead ringer for the pony I bought as an adult 23 years ago, so of course I love him and am totally jealous. I know you’ll have a great deal of fun with him.

BTW your friend’s dk bay TB with the star is a dead ringer for a horse I had 15 years ago, so of course I love him too!

We all love our previous horses. And it happens that everyone should leave this world…
