Father & Son
I think that Vinnie has turned out to be an improvement over his sire and dam. He has nice traits from both of them. He has Lily’s beautifully shaped Spanish head, four beat amble, and dun coloring. From Paisano he has a nice uphill build, suspended gaits and flashy sabino roaning. I’ll really enjoy watching him mature over the next two to three years.
I think that we are getting a nice group of horses up here in Oregon to do parades and Expos with. We plan to take part in a spring parade in Oakride next April as our debut. Then I’ll be looking for more opportunities in the area. I think that Vinnie could stand in as either an Indian pony or a classic cow pony.
Here are a couple more photos from last weekend…

I'll leave you with this photo of him sleeping in my lap on his first day of life.
More from that day may be found here.

He looks great, Simrat. I’m looking forward to watching him develop. He must be lots of fun.
He’s got such a great personality, so tons of fun. I am really looking forward to getting him down the hill to work with for a couple of months. He’s at a friend’s place on pasture now and I miss this little guy.
