Okay here it goes..... my fancy horse (as called by someone in the distant past).
Peg4x4, he is registered as a bay, but he is, as you can see, a very dark bay, not brown, but almost black at times.
Miss Daisy, thank you... he's my pride and a lot of fun... can't wait to get on.... in a couple of years

Flaboy, you know me well enough to know that I'll cut a horse pretty quick and chew on "cowboys and little girls" for keeping a stallion and not knowing what a good stud is. A while back I posted a thread on "what makes a stallion".... three things:
1. People in the equine feild must know who the Sire or dam is by name, not a son of a son. The Sire or Dam.
2. Must have the temperment to be a stud, not a man eater, or an ill mannered jerk.
3. Must have the conformation to pass on to offspring.
So with that being said, so far he has that. He is getting a bit more study (studdy ?). But so far a well mannered young colt. I can grab his sheath, testies, belly, pole, ears without any reaction. He has a kind eye, works the round pen well and enjoys people and being "touched". (some studs hate to be touched anywhere, any time). Has never tried to bite, kick, strike or run over me (knock on wood
) He has trust in people.
He is put together pretty well...
He has the pedigree to back him up.... I hesitate because I took a tounge lashing on this board a while ago on my horses, maybe I deserved it, who knows.
His Sire is a horse named Zips Chocolate Chip, and no I did not pay that stud fee, but close

My mare, his dam, is a daughter of Kay Cee Leaguer. Her dam is a mare that is a full sister to a QH named Triples, a two time western pleasure world champion QH;

I've been asked a few times about my stud prospect, I'm not bragging just sharing info. So there you have it, please don't beat up on me and my "fancy" horse. He's the best colt I have ever owned and bred, and man is he fun to work
