Would have been T-H-E Money Shot

[Elaine]

I could cry... the photo before this was in focus... and the one immediately after it was in focus ... but this is the frickin Money Shot ... for a dressage horse!!! Lodr Baltimore is coming under himself beautifully, ::):):)) lifting his front, :):) his ears are even pricked forward, :) and it's my favorite side of him... and its fuzzy. :mad:

Here are a few of Sandro D (Sandro Hit out of a Duellganz mare) and Brentano (Kafka out of our Lizabeth).

Sandro D is a young stallion...

Brentano is 4 and a half years old. He is a littermate to Ch. Logres' Titanium, Ch. Logres' Tungsten and Logres' Brentina (Brentina is the dam of two Canadian champions, three AKC Champions, with three more about to finish their AKC titles, all from her first litter... and some promising kids from her second litter).

Here are a few of Lord Baltimore (Lord Sinclair / out of a Bold Ruler line mare) and Brentano

Loved seeing the horses and Brentano! They look like poetry in motion. Murphy's Law the one you wanted most was fuzzy<G>

Gotta tell you, though they are a long way from maturity, it is very satisfying to see these guys growing up. They are each frozen semen kids, one by Lord Sinclair, one by Sandro Hit. We imported the semen directly from Paul Schockemöhle in Germany. Frozen semen is always an expensive risk, but it was even more of a gamble to try to get color from two great solid colored dressage stallions. These boys are unique world-wide for colored Warmbloods, in terms of their quality phenotype and color. I helped foal both of these boys... they have known me since they first drew breath. When they were 3 months old I actually drove the 6 horse slant 1000 miles round trip to their Foal Inspection. Both were premium foals, Lord Baltimore our embryo transfer colt) was Colt Site Champion. Their history and my connection to them makes them pretty special to me, so it is a thrill to see them starting to look like stallions. :)

I had Titan out with Sandro D this morning... chasing the early morning light and that elusive "Money Shot" (which, yet again I did NOT get). I took over 700 photos of Titan with Sandro D and Lord Baltimore

Those two look like best buds ;-)

They are good buddies... two peas in a pod, and they all know when it’s been enough. Sandro D seems to like Brentano and Titan; Warkant, not so much. I actually never let Warkant out with Sandro D or Lord Baltimore. I haven’t found Warkant's "OFF" switch, he doesn’t seem to have a sense of when he’s gone too far. If I ever did let him out with the stallions, I’d probably be chasing them through the country side for a week.:D

ahhhh the off switch. Something that is challenging to Eva as well. When you find the correct wiring for such a switch please let me know.:D

It runs in the family E1....Vaako doesn't have an off switch either! He pushes it to the limit with Emma. She is the most even tempered individual I have ever had the pleasure of knowing and he dances in her last nerve! LOL!
He enjoys grabbing her tail when she is done playing to get her to pay some more attention to him. Typical boy!

Great photos, I have enjoyed all of them.......Cheryl
