I am trying to get them up but they are on JR's phone- not mine. Mine was tucked away in my pocket while I was working him starting out.<br /><br />Bonus clips of his new friend too.

A nice brown County that's all wide & stuff. Comes with 2 girths, pad & a bridle, for $350....and the tack store called me last night to tell me that a lady wants to buy my old Western saddle for $400.<br /><br />Now I have enough left over for a new halter.... and how much for a new fly mask, Ms. CNJ?cattypexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17589672286463092432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5852129912812812816.post-54021675158795038272010-10-22T23:39:40.579-06:002010-10-22T23:39:40.579-06:00Ok so I googled Moorlands Totila...

Considering he kicked ass at the WEG and sold for a reported $13M? or $15M? and you guys are comparing my little guy to HIM??? I am flattered and don't feel at all like I am 'barn blind'. Not with the responses posted here to a few photos.<br /><br />Phaedra- we will be trying for video tomorrow. Both with the video feature on the digital camera and the cell phone. Something has GOT to work, right? <br /><br />To think he has sat and done a whole lot of nothing all these years... and that I very nearly passed him up when I went to look at him initially. He was supposed to be my daughters 'move up' pony. He was also supposed to be gelded. Plans are to breed him to my TB mare in the spring. The girls will be needing ponies before too much longer...<br /><br />Fern I believe it was you that said once, not to look into their eyes. It will get you every time. This is one time I am glad I did!Cut-N-Jumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03603347619547454296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5852129912812812816.post-91791906490749326402010-10-21T23:10:00.794-06:002010-10-21T23:10:00.794-06:00Holy crap!!

You're right, the illustrations ARE gorgeous.<br /><br />I thought that girl's hippie goat farmer parents were SO awesome and supportive, and I loved the reality check she had about "The Beautiful Black Stallion With The Flowing Mane And Tail." Dang, I also remembered she paid $14 for him and also the snobby neighbor girl who actually had a horse.<br /><br />I also remember that the pony had an ear tattoo that his old owners ID'ed him with.<br /><br />Is that even done anymore? It sounds like a great idea.....cattypexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17589672286463092432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5852129912812812816.post-995672774933751682010-10-20T13:23:50.912-06:002010-10-20T13:23:50.912-06:00He looks like Doodlebug.

I told him then, "If he was only 16 hands..." and he said "You would have to fight me, to get to ride him."<br /><br /><br />My friend Dawn just got back from the WEG. She sent me pics of some of the driving. One of a four up hitch in the dressage arena, one of a four up in the water on the marathon course. I told her maybe we will be there next year...
