Charlie was born on our farm on June 10, 2006.  His dam Kala is 23 years old and his sire, Shadow, at the age of 26.  That should begin to tell you that Charlie has exceptionally old names on his papers. 

 

Charlie has such names on his papers as:  Ramblin Red, Penny, Little Charlies Duke, Wing Commander, Black Diamond, Kissee Fox, Old Charley and Cotham Dare F-10 on his fourth line.

 

Charlie was an awesome colt to work with.  Teaching him natural horsemanship training was a breeze.  He was very intelligent, very eager and no laziness about him.  By the time he was a month old he was disengaging his hindquarters, loading respectfully in a trailer, leading, backing and circling on a slack line in both directions.

 

Charlie was sold to Judella Burton in Beaver Dam, KY.   Judella lost her breeding stallion Shadow at the age of 27 and Charlie was chosen by her to follow in Shadow's footsteps.  Charlie certainly has some big hoofs to fill but I am confident he will live up to his daddy's reputation in siring wonderful foundation foxtrotters.
