Those of you who know us....know we love our Dandy horses...especially me with my Rhotens Little Dandy son, NFCs Candy Dandy. Well...I've about turned this place into Dandyland! LOL Poor hubby Tim...tee hee.

Our engraving business is keeping me very busy and I no longer breed, foal or train. It's really cool because my work is the engraving, my love is my horses (and Tim..too). But I do love to show!

Last year Getitia bred her beautiful halter mare, Buckeye WCF Exotic Dancer (by FWF Little Wardance...multi-National Champion halter stallion and out of their Multi-National Champion Halter, Driving and Performance mare...CLes Magilla Gorilla) to our stallion, NFCs Candy Dandy, AMHA National Champion Driving Horse. Then the colt was featured in the center of the Buckeye WCF full page ad in the Journal....

For 6 months...I admired him and kept saying nope...dont need another horse...cutting back...got engraving work to do....then...Getitia...sent these pictures...UGH...drat, double-drat...my resistance was gone!

I had to have him...Tim agreed 100%...God love him!

Getitia had named him Noodle because he was born early and was wobbly at first. Les kept saying .. man that little sucker can trot....with so many gorgeous leggy shetlands in their breeding program...that was a comment that kept haunting me...I gotta see him, eh...lets be honest...I gotta have him! LOL

They hadnt registered him yet, so together we named him Buckeye WCF Tijuana Dandy....he's got rythem and soul...indeed a Dandy boy.

This is one of my favorite pics...TJ (Tijuana) meeting his sire Candy Dandy. TJ is 6 mo, Dandy is 15yrs old and they are out with Dandys look-alike son Dandy Walker who's a 5yr old gelding....the 3 amigos get along great....Dandy's so good with them.

I call this picture "I met my Pop today!"

My candy dish sits atop my entertainment center for all to see and we keep colored tissue inside to show off the engraving..

Bet you are already figuring on how long you'll have to wait until you start him driving! From the looks of him.....I know he's going to be an awesome mover in front of the cart!

Oh man,, that second picture is the one that would have gotten me... It looks like he is saying,, " Mama,,, don't you want me Mama????"

HeeHee love that Dandy look. I added a Grosshill's Dandy Special Edition daughter a couple years ago. And would like another or two! She might be bred to our Pharaoh son.

But Connie, he is beautiful and you made a great choice. Or,,, sometimes choices are made for us!
 
I love him Connie!!! Beauuutiful
