How does your winter look like !!!

[Jeff]

Lake of the Clouds?

[chevytaHOE5674]

Yes sir, had some free time so i took the sled up there for the great views. For only being 15 miles down the road I rarely make it there.

[Roxie]

The first day of spring, and I've got another pretty face to add to the pictures.  This colt was given to me by the handsome fella standing behind him.  The colt's Mama was taken as a wet mare for a very important Thoroughbred.  He's half thoroughbred, half paint.  Isn't he gorgeous! 

[Magicman]

And "painted" up quite nicely.....thank you.  What a wonderful family "addition"......

[isawlogs]

He is as nice as they could come .  8) 8)  Woo Hoo !!!!

[WDH]

He is some handsome!

What is his name?

[isawlogs]

  Cowboy Bob  :    ;D

[WDH]

Marcel,

Now he shas got two  :D.

[CLL]

Nice looking baby, love thoroughbreds!!!

[Roxie]

 :D  I haven't named him yet....any suggestions?

"Detour"

Cause Detour Village is my favorite place and I think it might possibly make a unique name.

[LOGDOG]

First name that came to mind for me was "Blaze" because of the blaze between his eyes and the likelyhood that he'll be fast with the thoroughbred blood in him. Very handsome colt.

[Patty]

He is beautiful Roxie! I love the loud paints, they are really popular around here.

We have a guy about 15 miles from us that raises World Champion paints. It is fun to go by in the spring when all the babies are out frolicking.

[Norm]

What a cute colt!

Will he get as big as a thoroughbred Roxie?

[Roxie]

His Daddy is a 15 1/2 hand buckskin paint.  Judging by the joint size of his knees, we think he's gonna be a good size.  He has a really great disposition.  We put the halter on him, and snapped on a lead, and he walked with us like he'd been doing it all his life. 

[Norm]

Sounds like he'll be be good size. His leg to back length look well proportioned.

Going to train him for barrel's?

[LOGDOG]

Norm,

  There's something about reading that last statement from you....

His leg to back length look well proportioned.

... and then looking over to the left seeing you holding that hind quarter that would make me nervous if I was that colt.  I'm just saying ...  ;)

[isawlogs]

Good thing he did not have the BBQ Boy for an avatar ... !!!!!    ;D

[Roxie]

 :D :D

I plan to just enjoy him, although the grandkids might be thinking barrells someday.  Cowboy Bob enjoys team penning, but we found out the hard way that a good cutting horse ain't necessarily a plus around dairy cows.  He had a mare he called Mama and she was so dedicated to cutting cows, she'd run our heifers through the fence every chance she got.  Yes siree, ol Mama enjoyed bossing those cows, with or without our help.   

[bl73]

Great looking colt you have there Roxie,we recently had to sell our cutting horse because he started just running the steer over like he had a grudge or something, but he made someone a great trail horse... does anyone in your area use buffalo to train cutting horses? it's getting to be a popular thing over here.

[Norm]

We had a cutting horse show up at our farm once that loved to boss around the cows. The neighbor brought over his bull for services and cured the horse of that habit real fast. :D

Maybe you could call him Loud Paint.  Anyway, it is probably too late since I bet that you have named him already.

[Roxie]

His name is Whiskey.  Here's a picture of him checking out the cattle trailer.





And here he is, with four in the air!

[LOGDOG]

Whiskey is a good name. He's handsome. 

[WDH]

I will have to start calling him "Jim Beam"  :D.
