Interesting questions Karen. Cara (who owns Elska) has talked about breeding her again simply because we are so pleased with Solon. The reason we are pleased with Solon (now that he's through his ugly duck stage) is his personality and temperment are absolutely outstanding. I've yet to run into anything that scares him. He's not a dead head by any means....he's a thinker....he's just not afraid.
We're in the process of starting Dagur and Solon is absolutely convinced that whatever we do to Dagur...we do to him as well. That's fine within reason (Solon will be 4 on Aug 30, 2007).... Here's a video of of Cara climbing up on him about a month ago. This was the first time we even attempted something like this with him. He took it in stride. Cara is only 100 lbs (if that)....BTW http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdN6bg66qzw Plus he shows gait in the pasture. I'm fairly certain it will be easy to find once he's under saddle. Wanda sorry about the dark video
