Well, well, well! I think you will be amazed by Riders progress this week. I remember saying to all that this boy was very very similar to Linsey in his very first debut face shot. He has consistently kept that face week in and week out. Last week he was being a little menace and wouldn't let me take any pictures of him. This week was a different story, and we got lots.
Rider decided that his handsome features were worth flaunting, and we made the most of it. So the roller coaster ride has come to a stand, and the decision is made. Dispite this boy having a non-show length tail, we have decided to keep Rider for our program. Why? I can only say, look at the picture below, and I simply won't need to explain myself. While we won't be able to show Rider, we sure hope we'll be able to show off some of his babies. He does have some kinks and knots in this thick tail of his, so this means a sure sign that he carries the shortening tail gene.
I already have in mind to pair this lad to 2 female bobtailed second cousins next year. Rider is just 4 weeks old in these photos. So there will be a bit of a wiat before these matings can take place :oD, but I am confident that the results when the time comes will be stunning.
Riders mum Oceana, will be retiring and handing over the helm to her sister Berry for the future here. Of course now we have this lad to do the same as well.
