Auction Horse Pics

[Camilla]

Hey all...
so exciting to see the new board - congrats Lori!
A while back I was asked to share pics of the horse I bought with my friend, Jen, at the Nationals Auction. (it's amazing what trouble a couple of Canadian Girls can get into after a couple margaritas, eh?).
Well last week we took him to the Gaited Show at Erin Fair here in Ontario. Once he settled down he did quite well - I was happy with him. He's also been hitting the trails and generally getting used to Canadian weather (poor boy came from Florida).
His name is Paolo de Ropa. He's a Prometido son who came from Prometido's farm (the Gmuer's).
These pics were taken by Janet Grant. You can check out her and her sister's site at myhorse.ca

This is my first post with the new format and I have no idea if I am doing it right. Must say I am totally impressed to see we can upload from our computers - woo-hoo!!!

Ok, I just previewed the post and see pics are in thumbnails... now I am going to see if I can include full size. Sorry if there's duplicates.

Beautiful pictures. How did you get the big ones in there? LOL

The thumbnails will enlarge when you click on them, but not quite as large as the ones you put in.

Well done at the show....you guys all look GREAT!

I love that first shot - showing the veins etc on his neck......looks like you got a good 'un!

[Barbwire]

What a gorgeous animal you have there, Camilla. He is Amante's half brother. :cool_new:

[Mo.D]

Oh Camilla,he's GORGEOUS!!!!!Again,CONGRATS!!!And thanks for sharing the pics!Your friend,Mo

[Camilla]

Woops. sorry, Pasomom.
Hope those weren't too big.
I did the thumbnail version first, by trying the upload from my computer, which works, yay!
The others I copied in the link from the uploaded photobucket images.
By the way, as you may already know, there's a glitch in the email that was sent notifying of a reply in that it sent to a different dead-end address. Just wanted to let you know as you folks probably have your plates more than full making this huge transition. Which is very cool by the way!

Holy Mackeral!!!! Nice hoss!!!

[Pasomom]

Camile, the pictures were fine, (size wise) I was just wondering how you did that. I'm still learning how things work too!

Outstanding horse!

Oh, and just so you guys know. once you click on the thumbnail and get a new screen with a bigger picture, you can then click again on the picture , and it will bring it to full size......Cool!

I like the last two where he's more relaxed. That third picture is awesome. Pretty horse.

[Serendipity]

I remember that horse and the 4-5 gals that almost lived in the stall with the horse after the sale;)
