Azure--this pic makes his head look big when in fact it is "small" but other than that--pretty true. He really is a looker, very long legged and gangly at this stage. Needs to grow into his body as he is a bit clumsy and is having trouble managing my weight. I am comfortable in his saddle and have mastered all aspects of lateral movement and we have started loping circles--he did hit a correct lead without much work on my part but I am not pushing this youngster as he is not physically ready to accomplish the advanced tasks. But very sweet, a bit nervous which shows a lot of brains. He learns quickly and has been very honest.

I am working full time these days so my hours with my colts has been reduced. Due to this I have cut down on my breeding program, keeping only my very best mares in production. Quality rather than quantity. This year I will be swamped trying to get the Big Time colts well started, so these colts are going to be put on the back burner. BUT--if you are dreaming of a "future" horse, these top three are going to be some dandies if you are willing to wait.
	Gamble on Diamonds AQHA # 5106397 Registration says bay but she is dun. Can't really tell from this huh. This filly started out real small but this winter she has really blossomed. She is really turning into a looker. She was a bit standoffish but now--almost a pest. But she seems real smart and quick to learn. Accepted the clippers for the first time with little fuss. (I didn't get to the fetlocks on several of these because the day was waning and I wanted to get all the 2=4 yr olds. Anyway, I think she will be a dandy.
I need to get better pictures of these two. Both of these yearlings are AQHA Incentive Fund --Dare me to Shine --> 2009 Filly -- AQHA # 5185779 Snip and Shine - 2009 gelding - AQHA # 5194600 A powerhouse of a colt that is growing in leaps and bounds and will be alot darker than appears here. He is incentive fund and should be a real winner.	A first foal petite little Filly, She may not be a big package but she is correct and with a quiet sweet disposition. She also is incentive fund.
A super smart real good looking powerhouse filly. Shanti puts the muscle on her colts--this picture does not even come NEAR to showing her. But was cute. She may be a dun or light colored grullo, not sure exactly what she will shed out like.	A Very sweet, very mild mannered colt that is straight and nicely built. Marked about as nice as it comes, he looks like he will shed out and remain this light colored red dun color.
These colts below are all incentive fund and are the final crop out of Big Time Review and at the moment are not for sale. I intend to put time on each and every one and then choose which ones I want to keep. With my decision to cut back on the colts I raise, I will now have time to enjoy riding with my family. So I will be keeping some of these. Check back later!!

But very sweet, a bit nervous which shows a lot of brains. He learns quickly and has been very honest.	Dex-Again--could he take a worse picture--YES, the 10 taken before this!!! Started a bit under saddle last fall. I have ridden 3 other full siblings and Dex matches the mold. I am extremely comfortable in his saddle--there is no meanness, he is willing and learns quick. I am pretty sure he will be a chip off the old block. His front legs are not 100% straight-- a bit toed out. But then I don't think he will be for sale anyway, Shena will need some horses for her pasture so I think he will stay.

Tiki--This is picture is a pretty true example of this colt, not real tall but build right. The hump in his back of last fall has turned into a stubborn streak. He is extremely light in his sides and such a quick learner--when he "wants to". We have started traveling down the road and he is sensible but he is not always eager to go. I am not nervous about him, he just needs more encouragement than I would like. But maybe now with some daily attention rather than the hit and miss, he will improve more rapidly. SMART SMART, just needs to learn to be a bit more willing.	Trouble --Not very photogenic, his neck is not this short??? but aaaahhhh, my favorite family of horse. My daughter, Shena's show mount, she rode him a month ago--I had not had alot of time with training and told her I wondered if we would be ready by show time. She rode him the other day. "I thought you said you wouldn't be ready--he's ready now". A real no nonsense colt who takes his job seriously. All I had to do is "communicate" and he figured it out. Wow, no figet, no nerves, just said--"OH, is that what you wanted--all you had to do is ask." An AWESOME colt. Sorry folks. I promised this one to Shena.
Sweets-- Such a super sweet, quiet and sensible filly. I had students out to give a demonstration on how to start teaching horses "basic skills". Pulled her out cuz she was at square one. She made me so proud--figured it out in such a hurry--probably made it look "to easy". I have big hopes that this little filly will be my grandson's show pony. Stunted growth because of a jaw injury as a weanling but "total cuteness". She has such a great disposition--a couple years of riding and she will hopefully carry the grandkids to many ribbons!
