a very tall, very sweet colt

Too late to buy him for a bargain price! I have raised his price to what it should be, since he has outgrown the geeky look he had as a foal, and now you can hardly tell him apart from Lhollipop. 

For sale for a very reasonable price, since he is a colt. He will make a super riding horse, just like all of Whichita's other foals have become. He is a very good mover, suitable for the hunter ring or for an amateur dressage rider. I think he will mature around the 17 hand mark.What a cute face he has! He is personable and has a comical "who me?" expression on his face. He is tall and leggy with a super topline. My trainer, Beth is a chocoholic, thus the second chocolate-themed name for the year.

SOLD! Congratulations to our good friend, Dennis Moore of Washington, DC

Hi, Mo! I'm sure you get TOO many email messages, but I couldn't resist sending this one because I'm so pleased. I've started fooling around with Lhindt a bit more during the late summer months -- taking walk-abouts (near roads, flushing deer from the underbrush, past the exciting mare fields [he can passage], passing huge scary farm equipment, meeting other horses out on the trail, etc.) He's been amazingly calm. He looks, but he's not been stupid. The worst (not bad at all) was when we flushed the deer -- he ran backward about 4-5 steps but didn't pull the lead out of my hands, and second worst was passing the big scary farm equipment at 3' distance -- he took some convincing but he passed it calmly in the end -- something NEITHER of my mares would have done. We're also doing some ring work (just in the halter): jumping over cavaletti, learning to stay at my shoulder no matter what speed I go, backing up, and moving away from me when I ask by pushing on his sides. Just in the last 2 weeks, I've started to introduce Lhindt to "clothes:" the bridle (w/o reins and with the halter over top, so far; he LOVES having the bit in his mouth), sport boots (non-issue after the first few exaggerated steps), a surcingle with pad (he looked at it hoping it would go away, then ignored it when it didn't), and today the saddle (w/o stirrups, which was a total non-issue). No bucking, no rolling, no pawing -- what a good sport! So, pat yourself on the back for making a good recommendation for me (at least so far)! At nearly 2 1/2 he's still a geek, and still looks like a giraffe when he puts his head up to the full height of that long neck. I haven't measured him in the last month, but I think he's over 16.2 now; he's the tallest of the geldings in his field (and no push over any more). I'm having a blast. Looking forward to seeing you and Jim again soon. Best to John and Beth. -- Dennis

3/12/10 Lhindt was perfect after you left yesterday! THANKS so much for bringing him down to MD for me! I hope you had a quick and incident-free trip back home. Lhindt has the cutest way of putting his nose right ON you when you go into his stall. Even my cranky mare next door to him hasn't rattled him. What a GOOD boy! Here's today's report from the barn manager: "Lhindt was perfect this AM....no problems. He and Julio [older baby-sitter quarter horse gelding] are best of friends and he greeted the other geldings across the fence with no kicking or biting. I only saw him break into a brief trot before putting his head down to graze. So far so good." After you left yesterday, I put on the new (blue) halter I bought for him and started to lead him out to the round pen so he could stretch his legs. I didn't' get far, however, before discovering that the horse-size halter I had bought for him (having been misled by his 16.1 size) was WAY too big. I had to put him back and run out to buy a size-small halter for his baby face, after which we did go out to the round pen for a few minutes. Thanks, again.
