Wow was he flashy! Did you register him as as Pinto also? That is so sad! He looked like a pretty mover, my vet and his brother breed and train arab's, Dr. Rooker. Your little bay is very cute! sweet eyes! My boy Chrome's pature mate is a 24 year old bay arab mare, she is a tiny little girl,(15 hands, with her shoes on lol!) but VERY much in charge of the barn and all who dwell there!!! LOL! My boy has 3 inches and a couple of hundred pounds on her but he lives in fear of ticking her off! LOL! She is being ridden by a green 9 year old girl but Star is such a good care taker for this child! She really is an awesome mare!
The Rooker's, get out! Yeah, they are one of the breeders left who seem to have a clue how to breed a good english horse. If I win the lottery, I'll go shopping at their barn :D Apollopalooza remains my favorite park horse of all time, and I've been around this breed since the 70's so have seen a few! He was exceptional and what a shame he died so young.
No, we never got around to registering "Socks" pinto, but I definitely considered it. My current gelding is a dream to train. He's by Versace so sweet as can be and very willing, but also a bit of a chicken @hit. Never lays an ear back, though, and remembers everything he's taught and tries so hard to do things right. He gets very upset if he blows a lead!
Not surprised your boy is afraid of a mare--we all know they rule the roost! ;)
I'm still in a bit of "small world" shock finding someone on a SKI board who know the Rookers. They are very good at their game for sure!
