Charlotte's had a sale this weekend so I got my annual horsey Christmas ornament. This year was all about American Pharoah: Ornament, Stablemate, and Trad model.
They must have just gotten the Pharoah stuff in because they had six or eight Trad models and a big pile of Stablemates and ornaments. It was a busy weekend, too.
I haven't settled on a name for this guy yet. It kind of depends on whether or not I make him a son or grandson (through Firebird) of Rob Roy, I guess, or find an outside pedigree for him. I think all my bay Thoroughbreds are a bit too related.
I need to take a picture, but I got the buckskin jumping pony, too. They're calling it a Connemara but it definitely isn't. Mine will probably end up being a mixed sport pony. Somebody suggested Gotland but I don't think he's substantial enough, and he doesn't really look like a Welsh B. I wish they would use that dappled buckskin paint job on a bunch of other models, though; he's gorgeous.
