I have wanted a baby foal all of my life. Dummer was a yearling when my dad got her for me. It was one of the most exciting times in my life. We were at horse show almost every weekend. I showed her several times in lunge line. When she was 2 I showed her in walk trot in Tampa. She as horrible the whole weekend. She did not have the mind set she needed at that time. That was the last "real" show that I showed at. Dummer is now 12 years old. My plans were to breed Dummer next year and get a hunt seat baby. Last Saturday I took the horses to Lake Placid to ride and my step mom, Cheryl and I were talking about breeding Dummer. Dummer is a great horse don't get me wrong, but she has several issues. She gets frazzled very easily and she will go great for you one day and act like a totally idiot the next day. These are traits that I don't want the baby to have. Cheryl said that I should take Brood Mare and breed her this year.
That got the ball spinning. Cheryl purchased Brood Mare about two years ago. She has a very impressive blood line. She is a thoroughbred. She is a little over 16 '3 hands. She was a hunter jumper in her day and was injured in a trailer accident. She has produced several very nice babies. Cheryl and my dad aren't doing anything with her this year and we are all very excited to see what she is going to produce with this stallion. I know I could go on and on. I am so glad that Cheryl thought of the idea and is letting me have her horse for a year. It is going to be one exciting year. Cheryl and I could talk for hours about it. This may be the break we need to throw us back into the showing world. Everyone is going to be so sick of me talking about my baby. Kenneth listens with a mute ear, but he is very supportive.
