Art In Motion (Allamystique X Rutland Road) made an appearance at
Devon in the 2 y/o stallion/gelding class. Allthough only 2 in the class
and him taking second, he's number one in our hearts! IMO the other
2/y/o male was thick all through the throat latch, neck, and base of neck and his hind
end didn't follow through to his leg. Guess the judge missed those faults with so
many other horses in the ring at the time, LOLOLOL. I was told once again, the public was very
positive about such fine TB's with color. Way to go Arty and Mary Anne!

All the babies are growing up so pretty

I looked through the album and saw TC's filly as well..they are both beautiful babies

Will he stay that colour?... some of them fade out?
I've notice some seem to fade out to white but Puchilingui and Airdrie Apache didn't I don't think?
Please help my understand

Yes, it is exciting these babies are coming out, more and more.
Art is the same color now that he was as a foal, he is just bigger.
None of his marking have grown or disappeared. What they have as a baby they have
as an adult the spots just grow further apart as their bodies grow bigger.

I think the winning colt was a gorgeous hunter. Art has always been of a more modern type that I have loved to see mature over the last two years. The thing we are finding out in the HB (especially the big ones) if they look the part they are going to win it. Secret Santa definitely looked the part.

Thanks for answering

Can I put an order in ? lol

I want a colourful one like Puchilingui but that doesn't have a white face...maybe a blase or a star?

I have to win the lottery first though

Yes the first place colt looked like most of the rest I'd say, but looking at the show photos, I'm sure the best in the country did not get to go to the show, I was not impressed at all with the yearling and 2 y/o classes. If both colts were bay, Art was more well conformed. As most shows go, the locals attend plus a few outsider's show up. Looked like a poor turn-out from what I hear the shows have been like in the past, but the economy is poor too, so that makes good sense.

HB is a really tightly closed competition wise. It's the same old men winning year after year so it is even harder to break through if you have something different. I did notice the socks are more frequent than in later years. So much for the traditionalists and their minimal white!

I'd say that would be darned near impossible to get to be honest - loud colouring on the body and legs and nothing or minimal on the legs ...

Uh ... thanks ... Nightlight was in the 2 year old class ...

It can be the same over here..but the pro's won't show cr*p so you don't mind getting beaten if theirs are better than yours.

The judges on the other hand always have their preference and it's hard breaking through with the funky colours when you get an old judge that just loves bays lol

But 'hey ho' that's showing and some you win some you lose..at the end of day it's only one persons opinion ...show jumping is so much easier lol you either knock a fence or you don't !

I personally enjoy the showing as it gets my babies out for experience before they do their real job
