    I haven't posted for a while, things have gotten complicated and busy in my life. But I've dropped out of some of the complicated and again have personal time to spend at the computer. Payton our foal from a while back has grown up into quite a large and loving horse. He has been undergoing jumper training, and has progressed well. He was in his first horse show a couple weeks ago, which was the first time he was away from the home barn. He even got a ribbon. Here are some pictures from the show and a couple from the barn where he lives.

    He lost a rider after a stumble coming out of one of the jumps. The last 2 are from the home barn.

    Nice fotos, Tom. Horses are such magnificent animals.
    The horse that you are showing looks quite impressive, with black tail, mane and legs.

    Gosh Tom it's hard to believe that the little foal you showed us has turned into such a handsome and powerful horse. Payton certainly seems to be enjoying going over those jumps doesn't he? I'm sure he'll go on to win many more rosettes and ribbons once his training is complete. Please keep us up to date on his progress won't you?

    Payton grew up into a very handsome adult!
    I hope the rider wasn't hurt in the fall.

    Great shots Tom. Payton has really come on in leaps and bounds (excuse the pun :)).

    Calomaar: Wonderful shots. I love horses and also think that they are such magnificent animals. I have owned them in the past and really miss not having one in my life. Trail riding was always my passion.
