I need a better camera - can't adjust a disposable :-? He does look a lot nicer in person - ;-)

Congratulations!

[CarolU]

WOWSER!!! Tell Amy Congratulations!!

But you know, going to Ohio in January hardly seems like a reward :-?

Any current pictures??

[appyday]

Good job

[Monty]

I have to drop a film off tomorrow - I took a couple tonight - so you can see how big he has grown from a year ago :lol:
I need a new camera :cry: Had to use a disposable - missed a really good shot because I forgot I had to rewind manually :(

[Monty]

ROFL - forgot to add - because of his winning - he gets to keep the "family jewels" for another year :lol:
If he keeps this up - he will be a stud!
He is a sweetie and curious - likes to "help" you and loves attention!

[Brigitte]

Congrats to Amy!!

[SQUEAKS]

Penny,

Well, Congratulations are certainly in order. Post some pics and I'll put them in the paper this month. Tell Amy we also said Congratulations to her and her horse. Ain't it just great when things fall into place . :D

Happy Holidays

Bob & Grace :D :D

[Bonnie LR]

Good stuff- great to hear it is official, like I had any doubts, lol. He is a beauty.

[PASOFAN]

Congratz that is wonderful!!! :D

[Moniece Dickerson]

WOW this is GREAT!!It hardly seems like enough time has passed for him to have grown up so much...feels like not so long ago he was just born.Give Amy and her hubby a big congrads from me!!Moniece

[Pasofinoguy]

Sounds like he is doing great. We want pics.

I wish they did this in our breed it would cull 3/4 of the stallions we have that are no good. They should have to earn the right to stay stud.

[Barbwire]

Great job, can't wait to see updated pics.

[Monty]

Weird - I added pics but it didn't bump up - :roll: SO BUMP! :lol:

[CarolU]

Penny, thanks for adding the pictures. He looks just GORGEOUS! He's gotten so big and turning into everything Amy could want. Lucky girl!!!!

Tell her congratulations..

She should go stand him in the same spot as some of his baby pictures and take another one, then one next year..so we can all appreciate how big he is getting.

I bought the "Horse Feathers" calendar for 2006. Lots of Fresians, lots of Vanners...I hope I don't end up with a draft horse some day! LOL

[Monty]

I think I took those pics - with my camera before it died - I am going to take film in and see if they can get anything off of it - but I doubt it! :roll:
And I did take a winter snow shot - but it was snowing too hard and getting too late to really see! :(

[Jasfino]

Congratulations !! Way to go Jr!
