I'd Like to Introduce you to the Newest Member of the Family

[Matt73]

After much thought, Kevin and I have decided to welcome Barrick to the farm. He is a coming 4 year old 16.1h Thoroughbred.

He is so sweet and gentle. Great on the longe and under saddle and has virtually no spook in him; he acts like a 10 year old. He's a former race horse and is now going to be a spoiled, very loved part of Shiloh Farms! He'll be coming home a couple of weeks

He's beautiful

CONGRATULATIONS Matt on your new BIG boy! I guess it's safe to say you finally bit the bullet!

 

[Connie P]

Congratulations! He is a beautiful big boy!

Oh Matt! You got him!

I am happy you found the one for you!

[Matt73]

Thanks guys

I have to get a pic of him that's not facing his front from the rear as it makes his neck look shorter than it is and you can't really see his pretty head

I just talked to the breeder and we're going to pick him up on the 21st... I'm so excited. Now...I'm going to The Royal on Friday; my credit card better watch out

Oh Matt!! That is so exciting! He's beautiful

Just because I'm a freak like that - what is his registered name? I'd love to look up his pedigree

Way to go Matt........look at that shoulder & hip.....bet he has a lovely trot and canter........well, ok, once he gets well settled and remembers he is not a "race horse" anymore....... wow, he is really nice!

Congrats!!!

 

[anoki]

Very nice Matt!!! He's pretty!!!!!

You're going to be at the Royal on Friday????

As long as things go as planned, I will be there part of Friday too....heading to Dressage night on Thursday for my first time ever!

Been to the Royal a number of times, but have never made it to Dressage night.....fancy dress picked out (ok it's not that fancy), but I have to get heels on Wednesday.....

yeah, I don't do dress-up well!!!

I'll keep an eye out for you there!!

Lisa, his registered name is Barrick. He's named after one of the largest gold mines in the world. He is out of a mare named Sago, which was the big coal mine (the one that had the disaster occur a few years back, but she was named before that). He is by a stallion named Chapel Royal: http://signaturestallions.com/images/signa...humbsize=_thumb

P.S. If you look at his pedigree, check out who his grand sire (on his sire's side is). Who knew HE sired race horses?
