Troy
was my first born foal in this wonderful breeding adventure. We all fell in love
instantly! The only problem was that he was supposed to be a filly, a pinto
filly to be exact. That was what I had ordered.. I already had not one but TWO
stallions and certainly didn't need or want a third. So when he was a week old,
I put him on the sales market. This was a tough choice for me because in my eyes
he was PERFECT! It didn't take long for me to decide that here was a colt to
nice to sell on. So I decided to keep him, and geld one of the other stallions.
Troy was here to stay!! Troy
went to our regional expo in 2002 and participated in a clinic with GaWaNi Pony
Boy. That was fun to watch. Troy handled himself wonderfully and was a
willing and interactive participant with Pony. In the end, Pony said that
here was a horse that was going to be with you for the long haul. That if things
got tough, the horse wouldn't quit on you, or wimp out!! A great endorsement to
the temperament of a young Curly stallion. We
had our first two babies sired by Troy in 2003. They exceeded my
expectations. Both colts were improvements upon their dams, while retaining the
good characteristics of each parent. I really couldn't have been more pleased
with them. Nick at Night was awarded First Premium status at the CSI inspections
in July and was the site Reserve Champion Young Horse. Troy's second foal crop
consisted of one superb curly colt . *Talisman, that was awarded First Premium
status as the CSI inspection in July 2004 and is being retained as a junior
stallion prospect. Troy
has been ridden by Cheir Myrink in BC for 2 years now. Cheri has taken him to
several "Stallion Showcases" as well as a couple of dressage clinics
with Marj . In 2006 Cheri took Troy to his first dressage show. The picture
at left was taken July 2005, you can see he is "bothered" by the kids
goofing off in the background.. NOT!! . :-) *Troy
was awarded Premium status at the CSI inspections and entered into the Premium
Stud Book with CSI. Some comments from the judge included, "Very good
proportions, good topline, correct movement, good rhythm, good carriage and good
elasticity at all three gaits" 
The
years passed and Troy grew up and prospered.. I had some moments of anxiety, as
everyone says yearlings go thru such ugly growth phases.. Troy was never ugly.. I
thought perhaps that meant that he would be a pretty baby and end up ugly when
done growing!! Shudder the thought.. I shouldn't have worried, Troy has
continued to grow wonderfully and is looking as if he will finish out perfectly! 
Troy
has always been pastured out with other colts and geldings, so he has learned to
get along and play with others well. This picture was taken when Troy was out
with a gelding named Lilac Hill Dutch Chocolate. Neither horse was hurt in
the least and they would play like this for hours on end. In the winter, Troy
shares a stall with his life long buddy, Marq. 
In
the spring of 2003, I started Troy very lightly under saddle. He really took to
it quite easily. In fact he was a bit on the lazy side. I only rode him a few
times before foaling and breeding season overtook me, and I turned him out for
the summer. Starting up again in the spring of 2004 it is apparent that Troy has
matured wonderfully over the winter. He is easily able to concentrate on his
under saddle lessons and has a steadiness about him that was not there as three
year old. We are enjoying our riding times together and hope to be out showing
and trail riding before long!!
