I should have asked you while I was there Tom but what exactly is the "double mane" ?
Does that just mean that it's thick and hangs both side of the horse's neck ?
Exactly that Ralph.  What a little beauty, how much for the belly ? I have no idea, but Tom's must be priceless...  |

This filly is from the same stock Ralph.
She could do with a couple of hundredweight of flesh on her (note the ribs) but she is a corker.

Toward the end of the summer, I love the autumn colours and I look forward the long cozy nights and frosty winter mornings. Spring is special though. Life everywhere. The promise is fulfilled, and natures miracle happens again. I am stunned by the beauty every time. |

I bet she spent a few bob on those highlights in the mane and tail  , But wow, what an outstanding looking filly. A couple of months worth of sun on her back and I'll bet that she'll really blossom, looks to be striding out well too. |

That's very astute of you Ralph. How a horse moves is an extremely important consideration when estimating it's value. Everyone likes to see a good goer "pickin em up" BTW- I'm not setting myself up to be some sort of expert here. The proper horse men have forgotten more than I'll ever know. |

Exactly that Ralph. What a little beauty, how much for the belly ? This is the sire to the foal in that belly Ralph. He died during routine surgery on the 15th of March this year. Now how much for the belly?  |

Now how much for the belly? That sire is an impressively handsome beast, he looks like the equine equivalent of a power lifter with feet to die for. And that video of the fair means that I just have to visit one, I could watch them all day. |

Just watched Eartha Kitt with Jools Holland on BBC2.
She gave a fantastic live performance of Ain't Misbehavin'.
81 years old, What a star.
