We were hoping for palomino or buckskin when we bred Kissie to Bandit in 2006, and Kissie came through with flying colors, producing a buckskin tobiano colt. Her new owner, Sarah, is thrilled with her colt and has named him Sir Kirby Kicks Alot. She has already made a good start on turning him into a fantastic kid pony by handling him right from the start, and Kirby seems to be enjoying the attention as much as she enjoys playing with him.

With his gorgeous markings and sweet temperament, Kirby should be a wonderful pony for Sarah to raise and maybe even show one of these days. He certainly has the looks and the ability for it, if Sarah decides she'd like to try! This little guy is still unfolding, but he's already showing signs he'll be an elegant mover with all of the flash and class we enjoy so much in Bandit. Give him a few months to fill out and shed off, and this little guy ought to be stunning!

Of course, Kirby didn't get all of his good traits from Bandit... His mother is a beautiful pony herself with a wonderful sweet temperament that is a joy to be around. She may not have a pedigree a mile long, but she's obviously from very nice stock!

We couldn't be more pleased with this colt! He's everything we expected and more, and we're very glad he's got such a wonderful home with a little girl who will treasure him.

 

Update:
The webmaster's got a terrible memory and forgot to add new pics of Kirby and Kissie the last several times the website was updated, but the pics are finally up!

Kissie and Kirby:

And a few photos of Kirby with his owner, Sarah, in February of 2008. She's doing a wonderful job with him!

Kirby took a first place ribbon in Pony Halter at a show in early April while Sarah & Kissie took second in that same class!

Sarah also took three second place ribbons with Kissie running barrels. Kissie is going to make Sarah a good speed event pony, and someday Kirby should easily follow in her footsteps there as well!
