Lil' Vader

Ok changing it up - I just found another pic of Vader that might work. Which 2 of these? None of these show his pretty blue color :( but they are my only high resolution

Ugh another choice! Which pic looks better of Lil' Vader?

Well I'm not sure if I want to make changes to this proof I was just sent, or go with it. I wish I had high resolution confirmation shots of Lil' Vader, or at least good ones that show his massive feather, but apparently I do not (yeah, I know they forgot his name, lol - I'll tell them!) For Featherwinds Monopoly Man, can't decide if I should keep the confirmation shot they have, or use the other one where he is looking straight ahead..

Well, here's my lame attempt at a new flyer for Australia - I can already see 5 or 6 things I need to channe lol - open to (kind) critique

WHAT??? My mommy doesn't love me??

Does anyone in or near Jefferson County Missouri happen to have a nurse mare available?

Baby Wil-E Coyote Is doing fantastic! He is hardly taking his bottles now, and even becoming a bit playful, praise God!
However, it's becoming dangerous for him to stay with his mom, I think I'm going to have to accept that it's not going to work. The more he moves around the more she tries to get away from him. I cannot imagine the catastrophe of her hurting him after all this to help him thrive. She still has no milk and he still keeps trying. 

The only thing I can think of to do is to get him drinking milk from a bucket & put my elderly pony Tonto in with him who at least wouldn't crush him. I have another mare due any day, & I keep thinking maybe if I put buckets of milk in there, she could braise them together, but I know that's not how it would work, they would both just drain her. Definitely open to ideas! I'm trying everything to keep him and mom together but it's getting scary.

Gypsy Treasures Lil' Vader Is a 4 1/2 year-old GVHS registered Gypsy Cob stallion, who's stud service is offered as live cover, shipped fresh, or shipped frozen semen, including anywhere overseas, with a focus on New Zealand and Australia. There are breeding doses available immediately in New Zealand, at EquiBreed Waikato, & in Melbourne Australia at Gene movers, as well as in Queensland.

Vader's color genetics are:
EE nRn n/n
He is negative for PSSM1 & FIS
Standing at 13.2 1/2 hands at 4 1/2 years of age
GVHS evaluated as ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!!!!

His sire is Pompeii, his dam is Clononeen Emerald, both pictured on this page. Vader is a darling, husky Spitfire of a boy 🙂 oozing with personality and character ♥️😈! He IS the laughter around the farm!

Vader has voluptuous Mane, tail feather, as well as a stocky, muscular build - all of which he passes on generously to his babies. He's also been crazy generous with his Roan genetic, as he has passed it on to 3 of the 4 foals he has on the ground. His babies are also extremely bright, trainable, intelligent and loving, just like him 🙂

Vader has had 90 days under saddle with his fabulous trainer Christine Forsyth of Diamond F Performance Horses, and is beginning driving this month. He has just begun his show career in halter, this January 2022, and jumped in with a bang! By May he will also be shown in pleasure & trail classes. Here are the results of his first show:

FEATHERED HORSE CLASSIC in FL:
1st place ribbon - solid color halter
(13 total entries)

3rd & 4th place - Halter class, stallions 4 & over
(2 separate judges, 8 total entries)

5th place ribbon - LIBERTY class
(13 total entries)

It's about time my sweet, crazy boy has a page of his own! More to come as I figure things out… But 5&1/2 years ago I started making payments on a beautiful mare named Clononeen Emerald. (Emmie)... I was just starting my little Gypsy Cob herd, & she came with a breeding of my choice. I had a dream at that time, that I could someday produce & own a blue roan stallion, like the one and only Pompeii, my favorite Gypsy ever! This mare had everything, insane amounts of hair and feather, Brickhouse body, HUGE Apple butt… I asked the seller if they had any access to a Pompeii son, & they said well, how about Pompeii HIMSELF? I'm pretty sure I died & went to heaven at that moment!!!

The chance of that precious baby becoming EXACTLY what I was praying for was pretty slim, but along came this little blue clown to fill my days with laughter, & my farm with hope ♥️
