Legacy




This colt is only a yearling who had not been handled at all. It took Emily six hours to gain his trust enough to halter him. After three days of work he was accepting most of the monsters and would even let her pull the blue tarp over him.

His mother is a modern Appaloosa. His father is Trade Wind, a stunning bay Corolla stallion. Without any one's knowledge or approval, Lido took the Appaloosa mare back to the mustang pen one night because he wanted a 1/2 Corolla colt from Trade Wind. A few months before his death he told Daddy what he had done, but Daddy just dismissed it as a joke. Only when Amber started to show did he realize that Lido had been serious. The colt was born about six months after Lido died.

Emily is hard to impress with colts for which we have no actual need, but she has fallen for this colt's mind and his athleticism. She does not think that he should leave our program.

He probably will not. Lido wanted the colt and I generally let him have everything that he wanted.

Um, Steve? I think the title of you post might be a good name for this guy... It's kind of fancy and not very Indian-ish, but then he's kind of a fancy colt... Just a thought.

Actually I have been leaning towards that as a name for him for several days. Steve
