"Gold
Bug Bingo" aka
"Nitro"
APHA # 883,806
Nitro was born May 13th, 2006 so he
is coming 2 yrs old this spring. He is a solid palomino colt with a very nice
blaze and a couple white socks. We nicknamed him 'Nitro' as we are sure he's
going to be a speedster!
He spent his first winter in the
barn with daily outings, so he was haltered twice daily. He was a real little
gentleman. Since spring, he has been loose with the other colts his age and he has become the
leader of the 'brat pack'!
His sire is Otoe's Bingo, a great-grandson of AQHA Champions Poco Tivio and Otoe
and of APHA World Champion Sky Bug Bingo. The dam is Gold Gypsy Dancer, a
grand-daughter of World Champion Impressor by the famous Impressive. Nitro
should prove to be as athletic and versatile as he is good looking.
Update-
Since all of Nitro's buddies have
been sold, he has been a bit lonesome and feeling insecure. He meets us at the
gate every morning and is so happy to get a kind rub and scratch. With just
mature stallions for company, Nitro is glad for the attention. We've been
spending more time with him and we are really impressed at how quick he learns.
He has lots of try in him. Just playing with him on a lead for a few minutes, we
thought we'd see how long it took him to learn to ground tie. After just 3 times
of having to back up, he caught on to what we were asking of him and was
learning to stand quietly. Of course, he needs more practice, but it shows how
willing he is to please. Nitro is halter trained and looking for a new best
friend.
Apr 10 Update-
Nitro has been gelded and had his
wolf teeth removed. The snow is all gone, but Nitro still has lots of shedding
to do.
