Didn't Connor go to an A-Circuit barn to be a show pony? Toad is gorgeous and the transformation of Sarge is incredible. You have such a gift for these animals!

He did! I am trying to track down some info so that we can go and watch him compete. What a Cinderella story, from the lot to the A circuit in just a year.

I would love to see Connor show. Rockmeadow usually shows at the Evergreen Classic, I think it is at the Monroe fairgrounds this year; I wonder if he will be there. Was he privately adopted or did the farm adopt him?

He was not adopted out. Because of his talent for jumping I outright sold him to Sarah Lorenz the 3 day eventer with the understanding that he would always be welcome back at my farm when he was no longer able to compete. It is stessful to me that he has changed hands(she had considered not re-selling him) so I am trying to pass on my info to the new owners. I will be staking out the Evergreen Classic to see if he is there! And Sheka you really need to ride the Toadlet.......on a good breathing day he is a kick in the pants to ride!

He is such a handsome guy! No to mention the best babysitter EVER!

I love it because I always feel like Dally is such a wise old man that he's teaching Frankie everything he needs to know about life.

They are adorable together - I am so happy for Dally. This was his meaning in life - raising a youngster in his golden years!

The Dally sitter is still hard at work! Although I do wish he would not slobber QUITE so much old man beet pulp/pellet smush all over the baby's face...!

Wow, that is the most seriously butt-high baby I have EVER seen (and I thought Tessa was pretty darn butt-high!)

He was stunted due to poor nutrition and parasites(he was an orphan) so he is playing catch up now! He has really grown in the last couple of months and is still a VERY nice colt to be around
