Above is Con Mar at a clinic with Alex Gerding in Indiana April 15th 2009. While we had a problem with sore feet that day...and a mare in heat the end result was very nice and I am/was pleased with him for the first time out in 2009...

Growing Pains

Con Mar is growing... LIKE MAD! He is about 2/3 inches butt high.... and it is making for some very awkward work undersaddle....

I have decided that this young stallion WILL NOT show this summer. We will prepare for the FEI 6 year old classes next summer and only do day trips and clinics this year....he needs some growing up time and some more experience. He is such a nice stallion, conformationally almost perfect for his breed... I am looking forward to his future as a FEI horse.
