Monologue CF is back home
In other news, Monologue CF is back home in Pennsylvania, after spending several months at Laura Fitz in Michigan. Two of her mares are in foal to him for this spring. Laura took great care of him, and he has never looked better in many years.
This horse has been moved around so often over the years, and it has affected him. Born at Craver Farms in Illinois in 2001, he was bought by Jackson Hensley then of New Mexico, then went to Pamela Klein in Virginia. Pamela gifted him to Darlene Summer. We took him back to Craver Farms, before shipping him to Pennsylvania. From there he gave him to a promising preservation breeder from Ohio where he was unlucky, so we took him back. Laura Fitz then took him on and brought him back in shape.
Here is a shot taken off the fly by Sheri of JNS Equine Transport, who transported him back from Michigan to Pennsylvania.
His eye is huge and bright, his neck is long, his shoulder has a good slope, his croup is level and his tail is set very high. He throat has a clean arch, and his nostrils are large and elastic.
On the minus side, his back is a tad too long, and I would have liked his girth to be deeper. Either one of these, really. He would be a good match with my Wadha, who has a very short back and a deep girth, but is wanting in the length of croup and hip. I will try that breeding next spring. They are not getting younger.
One of my most favorite boys! Love him.
Monologue has 4 lovely get (3 bay, 1 chestnut) on the ground so far — a stallion, a gelding, and 2 fillies.
Wow! Laura did a fantastic job getting him back into shape and I too haven’t seen him look so healthy in years. I am very excited to see a Monologue X Wadha offspring.
