Thank you for all the kind words. Yes, a lot of careful planning went into my breeding program. I started with the mares which is where I think a lot of people go wrong. Then I started looking for a stallion that complimented them. I searched for over five years before I found Tigger. He was only three months old when I first set eyes on him but I knew the instant I saw him that he was exactly what I had been looking for.
I don't have too many pictures of Tigger on this computer, all of the good ones were on the old computer but it crashed and I just haven't had the time to upload them to this one. I will share what I have. I do have several pictures of his sire Brilloso that I can share.

Photo above at just over two years old


These are pictures that I took the morning we went out to see him ( after the two day drive just to get there ). Tigger is right at THREE months old in these photos.

Here are some pictures of his sire, Brilloso

The picture above is his most "famous" photo, it has been used in several calendars and the cover of Farnams Hoof Formula... It was just kind of cool.. Hell, I'll admit it, I went out and purchased some ( not that I had any use at all for it ) it just sits in the feed room... like a sad little ode to o'l Bri.


As I said, I fell head over hills in love with Tigger the moment I saw him. I had been talking with his owner for several weeks while I tried to get together the last bit of his purchase price. Then one Thursday morning she sends me an email and tells me that she has a couple set to fly in from California that Sat. to take a look at him. I freaked out.. I loaded up the truck and me and my mother made the two day drive down to see him. We finally arrived late Friday night/ eary Sat. morning. We woke up first thing and went out to see him. Because of the other couple, his owner ( who is now one of my best friends ) made me an offer - my pick of several foals out in the paddock.... it was no use, I had already picked the best foal out there, and he was coming home with me.
