WIW COLOR BY
CHOICE
Tom Jones demonstrates the
ease of riding WIW Color By Choice without the aid of a bit.
Those are reins simply clipped to her stable halter. We will
use nothing more severe than a full cheek snaffle on any of
our horses.
Diane Jones is riding CC with
loose rein and no bit. Both this photo and the one directly
above were taken on April 17, 2005.

Ta daah!
(The trumpets sound and everybody hushes
to listen to the announcement!) She has arrived at our farm. She was
not due until April 23, but she made her grand entry on Wednesday, April
10, 2002, at 9:30 PM. She is the very first offspring of our own
WIW WINDYS CHOICE, our Pinto-Arabian
high trotting junior stallion, and SUPREME TSAMAZ,
our touted treasure. Blessed with 50-50 chestnut and white coloring,
she is a fabulous girl with a smashing dish and an elegant neck. Nice
little backside, too! Besides pretty, she is a tough little scrapper
who likes to throw out an occasional non-threatening kick at other horses
to let them know how clever she is! The whites of her eyes show, her
tail arches over her back, and she prances: "Look at me! Look at
how important and clever I am!"
She is registered Pinto and is eligible for APAR, ISHR, and Quarab
Registries with 75% Arabian blood, 29% Crabbet-Blunt breeding, with
4 crosses to *Bask, one cross to recently departed Arabian legend Ivanhoe
Tsultan, one cross to Woodwind V, and multiple crosses to the legendary
Halali mares, Halali Wind Kite and Halali Enchanted.
The pictures at lower-right show CC in her very first showring appearance--
at the Great Geauga County Fair (NE Ohio) Western Horse Show on Labor
Day, September 2, 2002. She and her buddy, WIW DIXIE MELODY (the darker pinto filly in the pictures)
faced tremendous competition, for example, the magnificent spotted Saddlebred
mare in the background. Nevertheless, they were both honest and willing
and made a lasting impression on lots of young fairgoers who expressed
their desire to own a beautiful Arabian pinto baby. CC took it
all in stride and arrived home to roll in our own mud without the least
fanfair! Ahh, Sweet Youth!
The most recent pictures, to the right,
show CC under saddle with both Tom and Diane on April 17, 2005. Our
little girl is quite the sedate, grown-up lady, sensible and trusting
about everything. Note the tippy ears, and, in the lower picture, one
turned back toward the rider for a cue. Note also the loose rein snapped
into the halter--No bit whatever on this youngster, and yet she is responsive.
She is a true treasure.
