Metolious, Dapple blond chestnut by Lisa Bickford
Announcing! The very first painted Metolious we have offered for sale! This lovely dappled light chestnut was painted by Artist Lisa Bickford, and Lisa's beautiful work is well known in the winning circle. Here, Lisa has given our majestic Friesian and gorgeous lightly dappled blond chestnut color. Friesians DO come in this color! It's rare, but is becoming more popular, especially in the US. Simple elegance, simply stunning, beautifully consistent throughout. He's lovely, Lisa!
Our head rider, Liz, really put this big horse through his paces today. What's your verdict, Liz? " This is an impeccably trained gelding. He is all business when you're working, but also has a sense of 'play' about him. These Friesians are such nice animals"! Good call, Liz! He sure looks sharp in that black English tack!
Rusty! What in the world are you thinking?! You're riding that big horse bareback with only a halter and you're carrying a baby sheep! I know Friesians are gentle, but.....and don't tell us you prayed about this, either! (Rusty giggles) " Oh you guys! Actually, I DID pray first. But this big boy is so sweet, he doesn't mind at all, and you know how little Eggbert cries when I leave him home! We've been riding around all day together. And I just love his long blond mane"! Oh well.....there is just no arguing with Rusty when it comes to animals. Oh, look....there's Jolene! Hey, Jolene, did you see this big hunk?
HUMPH! Looks like something from Bay Watch! A big blond poof! (Aw, Jolene! You are SO mean! Jolene is pictured here with her multi grand champion, "SpotmeAlotaCash", a 'Sugar Daddy' sculpted by Tierney Read and painted by Penn Youngman)
