shameless brag-new stallion came home today!

[horsechick]

I just wanted to post where I knew some people could understand my excitement!! My new boy just came home today after over 4 months of waiting! We had to wait for our barn to be constructed, but now he is here:D
He's coming 3 and is Balou du Rouet/Voltaire breeding. This is my first stallion (but not my first youngster!) so I hope to really do right by him-he's such sweetie and really wants to please:yes:

Here he is as a 2 year old...(photo by Barbara Sikkink)20296

He is lovely - he was at SilverCreek if I remember correctly and I knew he was for sale. Congratulations!!!

What a lovely boy you got. Please keep us updated on how he is doing. What are your plans for him?

[VirginiaBred]

I think he's beautiful! I tend to like Barbara's babies a lot! :)

[horsechick]

Thank you all so much!! I am hoping to keep him a stallion and get him to some shows on the line and start under saddle this year. As long as he is still minding his manners, we may start breeding him next year. One day at a time...it's all a learning process at this point!

And yes, Barbara has some nice ones over there and is the most helpful!

Lucky you!!!!

I saw him a bit ago on Silver Creek's site and it said he was sold. Congrats! Please keep us updated on him. He's really something special!

Boy! With those bloodlines I hope you have high fences! He should be able to jump the moon.

Congrats! Do you have a link to his pedigree?

BTW, are you in OH and did you just come back from a trip to the tropics? (I was on your flight if so)

Handsome fella! Good luck with him!
