The journey of Little Cigar.
In 2007 I decided that I would like to breed a showjumper from PF (pictured below)
(I agree that not wearing a hat is idiotic- please feel free to be as critical as you choose )
And THIS was the stallion I liked His name is Remonta Habano and he's now been sold to the USA. Ridden by UncleSr.
On 15th Jan, 2009, this small wet spidery thing popped out of PF. Luckily he improved and turned into a gorgeous foal. All plans of selling a colt and keeping a filly went out of the window.
I can see this is going to get very long-winded so...
LC aged 1
LC aged 2
LC aged 3
Just backed
First canter
Jumping in the lane at old yard

And a few days ago It's supposed to be autumn but it was very very hot, hence my not-very-cheerful face. Mum was sitting in the shade.
LC is so good I can just leave him loose to faff around with poles and he'll wait.
Doesn't he look like PF??
First video of jumping under saddle. First few fences (at trot) have a placing pole. I'm aware that there is a huge amount of poo (photoshopped out of the stills above) It's not usually that bad but YO has been putting his horses in there overnight. There is usually enough space and sun and heat that poo isn't an issue

LC's breeding (his proper name is Partagas, and PF's IS indeed, Charlie Big Potato)
