Before any comments... his hand was NOT up under his jaw as it appears. It's an illusion. I have another photo to prove it.
That is Guaranteed Gold and my husband (or Mr. ACC as Donna/True Colours deemed him ). We want to be sure to mention that he didn't need a chain, no one was asked to step back as he went by, someone that had never met him before led him in when all of the mares were already inside and how he stood so nice and quietly for pictures and just tried to eat his hat (in a very kind way)...
What a doll he is. You just can NOT expect any more of an actively breeding stallion. He's just exceptionally kind and personable.
He is BY FAR more attractive in person than I could have ever imagined... and that's saying ALOT. He is so filled out and mature looking, and SO CORRECT. We're just extremely pleased with him. My husband is one of the pickiest people I've ever encountered and he knows our mares flaws inside and out and he has said that he has yet to see a stallion he believes could compliment her any more than this one.
Additionally, Donna was an exceptionally courteous host and we had a WONDERFUL time with her. Her sister Laurie (Special Effects) was an excellent tour guide and we had a blast with her as well. We couldn't have done it without her and she made it so enjoyable. These two ladies are definitely friends worth keeping. I've made the promise that I'll go visit them every time I go to Buffalo to see mom now.
Thanks ladies!!
I'll post more photos once they've all been looked over by Donna & Laurie.
There is so much work that goes into bathing a light horse, someone should start a post: "Can yours be any dirtier than mine?"
He is on just under 4 lbs of feed a day and free choice hay. Mind you the hay is excellent so that helps a lot, but he is on very very little grain overall. I'd feel guilty feeding him less!
