Sweetie's bloodlines are exceptional and include Tonka, The Lottery Horse, Lenny Howard's Horse, Roadsweeper (UK), The Lob, Bob The Blagdon, The Coal Horse! She has a beautiful face and nice bones and hip. She has superb conformation, disposition (hence the name), bloodlines and loads of hair!
The first foal born on our farm was our filly Sweetie- Sweet As Sugar Hill. Her mother is The Real Roney (by Tonka) and her sire is The Sundance Kid. We leased Roney in order to get the Tonka bloodlines we desired. Sweetie is a beautiful smoky black with four white socks. She was our first foal so we were both nervous about her arrival. One of our dogs, who never chews, chewed the monitor for the barn camera system. So at 8 months pregnant (with two escaped maximum security inmates on the loose) I was going out to check on Roney every hour. My husband had offered to check, and I was a bit scared of the escaped convicts but I wanted to do it myself. I had checked Roney an hour earlier and she was not showing signs, so when I walked into the barn and saw a foal laying on the stall floor I was surprised! We wanted to get her up to nurse so Dan helped steady her and was by her side for an hour. They formed a strong bond in that hour. Sweetie is definitely Dan (the non horsey husband)'s horse. He has many pet names for her and dotes on her constantly.
We decided at the last minute to take her to the first annual NEGHC Gypsy show in September of 2017. It was Sweetie's first time off the farm and she blew us away. She placed in the top three in every class she entered! The highlight of the show was when she entered the Youth In-hand Trail class and went through every obstacle with out a second look and that was with a teenage girl who was unfamiliar with handling foals and who had only met her the day before- they did spectacular together! To say we are proud of Sweetie is an understatement.
We are extremely pleased with how Sweetie is maturing. We look forward to seeing her in the show ring. If we decide to breed her she will surely pass on her great attributes and can produce foals in an array of colors.
Sweetie (as a 2 year old) was the fifth highest ranked horse for 2017 GVHS Year End Amateur Halter!
After less than a month of being under saddle, and with having about 25 rides, Sweetie came home with a 2nd and a 3rd in the Adult Walk, Trot Division! There were not any walk trot Green Horse classes so Sweetie competed with Tabitha Morgan against 5 seasoned horses in Pleasure and Disciplined Rail (where she was asked to side pass, back, turn on forequarters, and turn on the haunches). We are very proud of her!
A week later she attended the NEGHC Gypsy & Open Show and did fabulously both in the conformation and under saddle classes. Please see results below.
In 2021 Sweetie was the NEGHC Gypsy WT English Champion, Gypsy Youth WT English Champion and Gypsy Youth WJ Western Champion.
