APHA # 906,560 Black Tobiano Colt born July 3, 2007 For Sale
Update - Fonzi has been tested for Herda and is n/n. He was also tested and is homozygous for the black color and heterozygous for the tobiano gene. This striking colt arrived after what seemed a long, long wait - and on our anniversary! What a nice treat! He made both Lacy's and our day happier... so we had to name him Fonzi! He knows he's good looking and wasted no time on strutting his stuff! Lacy is very proud of him... (so are we!) We used to think that Belted Galloway cattle were just really cool. We never got into that, but now we have the perfect cowhorse to go with that breed! LOL! It's too bad that there is not more of them around. Aside from the white belt, complete with the paint drizzle and spots, Fonzi has a sweet little head, and nice conformation. He is going to be very athletic. As with all of Lacy's foals, they are just people friendly and willing to please. With his pedigree, he has the potential to go in many directions. He will mature in the 14.2 hh range. His sire is Poco Diego, our bay tovero stallion. Lacy is his grand dam. Lacy is double line bred Poco Bueno and Diego is her grand son out of Friday Night Disco. We have put our best horses together on this little guy. Fonzi has a 'Royal' pedigree with several Champions, World Champions, and Hall of Famers, including 9x Poco Bueno, 14x King and 8x Three Bars.
Update Oct 18th - Fonzi is now weaned and learning to halter. We do not imprint train and these following pictures are Fonzi's big introduction to the halter and handling. It took about 10 minutes to be able to rub him all over and then I let him sniff the rope. He took it in his mouth and swung it back and forth, so I put it around his neck. Fonzi is most definitely the easiest weanling we have ever had to work with. Day 2 - He was picking up his feet for us!
Fonzi continues to be just the sweetest, laid back little fellow we have had. He gets haltered daily to go outside for the day and is leading nicely. He has never put a foot wrong, or tried to misbehave at all. Fonzi can only get his nose over the stall door, so in the morning, he sticks it out as far as possible and nickers very softly to make sure we know he's ready to go. Once outside and with his buddies, he can really kick up his heels and put on a show! While he is laid back and well behaved with us, he doesn't let the others bully him around at all. We have looked all over the Internet to try to find a black tobiano colt with Poco Bueno and Doc Bar near the front and they are very rare! Hopefully, we will have more in the spring, but I doubt that we will be lucky enough to get another colt with his wonderful disposition. Don't miss the opportunity to come have a look at this guy! I have not added pictures as he is in his 'winter woolies'. Update June 17th, 2008 - Fonzi is just coming a year old! He has caught up to his buddy Turbo for size and they are spending their time eating, sleeping and growing! They take turns being the leader and share everything like little gentlemen. It is ONLY JUNE in Alberta and Fonzi has finally shedded out most of his heavy winter coat. There are still some brown areas where we're still working on it. Fonzi is still easy to catch... well, he actually catches us! He likes a hug and a scratch!
Update Feb 23, 2009 - Fonzi is coming 2 this July. He has a very heavy winter coat that really does not flatter him at all. If you can see past the fuzz, you will find a pretty fancy boy underneath it all.
