Some news!

[louisem]

So I haven't done report for a while,for the reason that I haven't been to a show!
The reason for that is,incredibly,I have sold my stallion,Amaretto.My lovely,lovely boy is now going to be a future 'Kentucky candidate' for some lucky rider in America.
It has been an exciting time,having such a top horse and I've ridden classes beyond my expectations,but,as we bought him as a yearling to sell,it would have been unrealistic to let this 'train leave the station'!
I packed my gorgeous lad off on thursday with his suitcase full of teddy bears and polos and spent the rest of the day blubbing, as you can imagine!!!
So,now,with having just 1 chap to jump in the big classes now I was a little unenthusiastic to go to csi** herselt this weekend...
But,the 'pocket rocket' my little Manneken cheered me up,egged me on and pulled me out of the dumps by doing what he does best...jumping everything in front of him. Blessss

Yesterday,in a mega competitive grand prix,he was an amazing 6th behind Daniel Deuser!!!!
Thank you pony XXXXX
(Vid on you tube under Manneken du Coty)
So now off to go shopping for a few more yearlings

Good luck darling Amaretto! XXXX

That must have been a wrench to sell him when you were doing so much and so well on him, but at least Manneken reminded you of who is now top dog in your yard!

Post some photos when you go yearling shopping please.

Oh WOW, cannot believe you have sold him, but totally understand why! Fact is, whenever you see his name in the results you can smugly say to yourself "I made him"

Manneken is such a dude, I am sure he will relish his new appointment! Agree with Nicky, PLEASE keep us up to date with photos of your shopping expeditions!

oh goodness, i totally understand what a wrench it would have been to sell such a superstar like amaretto. but like weezy says, you can look at the results with a smile.

I'm glad manneken has stepped up to the mark and reminded you what its all about!

best of luck with manneken in the future and also with the shopping xxxxx
