Must share, my baby

[Bugs-n-Frodo]

So, most of you guys have known Frodo since he was but a wee one. I have not posted pics in a while and thought I'd give you all an update. I might even have some riding ones in the near future but since I am the one riding and I rarely have someone with me, I do not have a photographer.

These are just pics of him playing with a friend, nothing serious. I also added some pics of the views from my barn. He's schooling first level and I am not in any hurry to rush him up the levels, I just want him happy, we'll get there eventually. I love him more than ever. :yes:

Wow! He's all grown up!!

And that view is AMAZING!!!! Gorgeous. Big change from Maryland, eh?

[spacely]

WOW Amy! He looks fabulous! :D

I sure miss looking up at those mountains everyday. Lovely view!

[can't re-]

Wow, Frodo! I can't believe he is all grown up! He looks great.

[pintopiaffe]

Something about the 'goofing around' pic really reminds me of my old Trak gal. :sadsmile: maybe it's the ears. :p

I started coming here regularly when he was a yearling or so, if I remember right... he's grown into a lovely young man.

Good on ya for not pushing him. Traks are soooo late to mature, mentally and physically. I truly believe for every year we give them at this end we gain four or five at the other. :yes:

WHERE on the planet is that view? How amazing!!! My mountain is very, very different. :lol:

[dressagetraks]

Absolutely beautiful. (And the view isn't bad, either)

[3Dogs]

Amy, he looks absolutley gorgeous....just beautiful. And that view reminds me I am coming out to Thermal for a few days in Feb...maybe I can see this handsome boy in person :yes:

[Bugs-n-Frodo]

Erin, HUGE change, in many ways. The view is nice though, even if the job market is especially crappy. :lol:

Pinto, it is his ears in that photo that make me wanna smooch him, he is very expressive with his ears all of the time. They are a dead give away to what kind of mood he is in or what he is thinking ALL of the time. That view is from Palm Springs/Coachella Valley. That barn has the best views I have every seen.

3 Dogs, I will be going to Thermal throughout the show too, let me know when you'll be there, maybe we can meet. It only takes me a half hour to get there and I have a few trips planned but no certain day chosen.

He's all grown up.......how did that happen? He looks fantastic. What incredible views your barn has.

[lilypondlane]

He's gorgeous! And I love those Trak ears, too. My boy is just one year older than Frodo and they share some bloodlines -- Ibikus and Impuls. I'm glad to hear someone else say that Traks mature late -- I was beginning to think it was just mine that were goofballs. We kept him in Novice this year, his second year of eventing -- definitely taking it slowly with him and it is paying off.

And the views -- WOW!

[nsm]

Wow, he IS all grown up and so handsome! What a spectacular view too!

Awwwwwww Amy...
He is not a "bbbaaaabbby" anymore! LOL

[graystonefarm]

Amy, he looks super! But next time we want undersaddle pictures!

:yes:

[Home Again Farm]

He looks wonderful. Hard to believe he is all grown up already. The view is absolutely incredible. I think I'd just watch the light change on those hills all day and get nothing done if I lived out there.

[Bugs-n-Frodo]

Amy, he looks super! But next time we want undersaddle pictures!

:yes:


:lol: Me too!

I can't believe how big he is either. He's about 16.3h. How the heck did THAT happen?! :lol:

[M.K.Smith]

Awww... I can remember when him, Remi, Chevy, and the other '03 models were just foals!

Here's the latest Remi pic- http://www.leakycreek.com/modules.php?set_albumName=October-2008&id=Remi_Nathaniel_Mary_10_06_08_7340&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view_photo.php

I look like a DORK in this one, but it looks like Remi's trying to hug Nathaniel- http://www.leakycreek.com/modules.php?set_albumName=October-2008&id=Remi_Nathaniel_Mary_10_06_08_7338&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view_photo.php

Remi loves his kid!
