Horse pics to drool over.

I scanned in some pics of a horse I had the pleasure of working with in recent years. He was a friesian by Wander out of Julia. Means nothing most, but I guess that's pretty impressive in the Friesian world, or so I was told. I mostly train jumpers so I don't work with them often. His name was ADONIS, and rightfully so. He was a god of a horse.

Yep. he is. Adonis is the perfect name for him. Drools....... I took one look at him and instantly wanted him. I had to settle for training him for his owners cause $20,000 for an untrained 3 year old was a bit much for me at that point. I trained him and loved him. He beat up any horse who tried to come near me. We had a great time. Then they sold him for an obscene sum of money and I was sad. But at least I have my Eddie beast and my baby trouble. I am still blessed.

$20,000 before he had even been backed. US$$. They paid 18 for him as a yearling. They sold him for 4 times that much once he had some training on him and passed his inspection.

If I had it, I would have paid it. I loved that horse..... and the jump on him!!!! Melts into a puddle.
I had to trim his tail to keep it from dragging on the ground. When it was nearing time for the Kurr I had to leave it and let it grow and just keep it braided so it kept off the ground. Thick as can be and sooooooo long.
