Our Lucky baby is named Reilly. He is 4 yrs old. We just purchased him from Sunset Hill Farm, who purchased him from the breeder, Playland Farm. We live in Howard County, Maryland and board him at Sunset Hill Farm. Chrissy has taken Reilly to a pipe opener and one starter event. Reilly was great at the dressage with a first place score of 34 but unfortunately had some trouble in the stadium and had to retire. He has been working on his jumping and has found out that is great and he always wants to do more. He is a joy to own. He is smart, funny, loveable and quick to learn new things and has great potential in dressage and jumping. His love for carrots is unmatched. We feel we are LUCKY to own our Lucky baby. Thanks the Davidsons
	Hi Susan, I have an 05' lucky baby out of my Hol/TB event mare. I love him to death. I wouldn't sell him for anything,even though I have had opffers! He is 18 months old and one of the quietest horses in the barn. Thats a lot considering I am boarding at a western pleasure facility (It's slim pickings in Mississippi) He is at least at big as the quarter horses that he gets turned out with. He is a wonderful elastic and floaty mover. This kid gets some air! He jumps branches in the field for fun! Because I moved down from Maryland he had to be shipped when he was less than a yearling. I was very worried about how he would act. The transport company assured me that he was a champ and loaded and unloaded like a pro even though he had only been on a trailer once before! He is very easy to get along with. His mother is a little hot headed so it was a gift to get a baby so agreeable.
	Hi, I was on your website and noticed the little note asking for updates on Lucky babies. Attached are pics of "Asking for Trouble" a June 2003 Lucky baby out of a mare of unknown breeding. He's a naturally talented mover and especially loves to jump. He's been very easy to train so far, having been started w/t/c and over small fences before being turned out to grow for the winter. He will be for sale in the spring due to grad school expenses if you know anyone who's interested. I'm asking 10k which will go up once he gets to a couple of shows.
	Mateo was in Maryland at a barn called: His Lordships kindness. They had put an advertisement in the Equiery magazine. My sister-in-law breeds German line Hanoverians in Owings, MD. When I told her I wanted to look at Mateo she thought I was crazy for even considering a 3YO. She went and saw him, as I live in Florida, fell in love. Could not believe how sensible and calm he was. I purchased him as a 3YO (5/28/99) in July 2002. His dam is a mare named Precious, I think from the Frederick area. I contacted I.D.H.S. about having him registered and they could not have been more helpful. Briana knew John Shorthill and we were able to get the stallion cert. and with DNA I got him registered. Mateo is a 16.1 1/2 hand Gelding and truly magnificent! As you can see, he has won my heart. I ride him 5 - 6 days a week and he is always concerned about my safety! It is a good thing at my age. I hope to take him to a show this year, but will need to keep you posted on that one! I My daughter Theo took him to USPC championships in 2004 in Lexington, KY - Dressage/Training Level. She has competed him at Fannin Hill Farm, Brooksville, FL: Rockinghorse Stables, Altoona, FL. along with numerous Pony Club Rallies. Sincerely, Gail Adams
