Equine Affaire, Pomona, CA - Jan 29-Feb 1, 2004

BFS&GH horses represented the gypsy cob breed with the Gypsy Cob Society of America at the California Equine Affaire in Jan, 2004.  We had a great time with 5 of our horses, including Rom Baro, Dinah, and a few others including some young colts.  The crowds adored the horses as usual, and were a huge hit.

Rom Baro (Tyson) and Lotto the colt go for a dry off (after a bath) and a warm up.
Tyson is a great babysitter with the colts. 
 

Jeff and Rom Baro answer questions on the breed in the ring.

Jeff and Rom Baro warm up a bit before our breed demo.  Don't step on the tail!!! 

The colts Lotto and Garrison with our friend Gary Smith and Thomas along for company, go for a walk around the showgrounds. 

With all that hair it can take a minute to get the bridle straightened out.  His mane measures over 4 feet long!

Lotto learns how to "pony" along his surrogate dad.  Right:  "Ahemm, excuse me son, I'm not your mother!"  The ever-patient Rom Baro lets Lotto figure out there there is no "free lunch" this time!

After the show in Pomona, we spent a few days at the LA Equestrian Center, and had a chance to get out and hob-knob with the locals a bit.  It was great fun, and the horses were a huge hit there too!  In this picture, Jeff and Rom Baro meet up with a man riding his clydesdale gelding.  Similar horses, but very different somehow...
