Concerto back home from HITS

All braided up we went to HITS and practiced at 3'6".  Decided not to show because the jumps were way below their ability.

Concerto at Liberty

I had Concerto groomed to go on a little trip but it's rained for days and just as soon as we were to leave it opened up again so I let him out in the paddock next to the house and this is what he did. I have an umbrella over my head which is why he keeps snorting at me although he wants to just come get a pat.

Concerto competing over jumps at NEWPA and PONIES on the HUDSON at 3 and winning, "A" rated

Concerto competed against seasoned ponies as a 3 year old and racked up the ribbons. The judges came up after the classes to ask about him and to say that he is the Wonder Pony, with a huge stride, calmness, and great jumping ability. Hence the name Concerto the Wonder Pony was given. Pictured with his full brother, Fortissimo as a 2 year old, who received High Point 1/2 Welsh for the Northeast that year in halter.
