Babies become show horses
Fancy Smoke was always the hard luck horse. Poor training choices, and then an injury that ended a career before it could begin. But I couldn’t really bring myself to sell this really kind mare. And now her first foal is an NRHA Champion, winning the tough Novice Horse Class at Syracuse. Last year, this filly’s owner, non pro Don Clark, showed her once or twice as a 3 year old, and a few weeks ago, professional Tommy Milnes rode her a little and liked her. He calls her his “scooter” because she feel like one, just motoring around. She’s on the road to being a very successful show horse! Congratulations, Smoke! You may not have had the opportunity to shine in the show pen, but your babies are doing you proud. Her 2008 colt is owned by Bob Laporta and he and Wayne LaFortune are really excited about starting him. The 2009 filly is spectactular.
