BABY SHOWJUMPING: the cuteness of King Creole!

Introducing King Creole... he's the most adorable oversized-"pony" there is!

Started and backed as a Western Pleasure mount, the almost-5yr-old baby of the barn is having a "Weeee look at meeee!" moment, to show off just how much he's learned about this whole 'English riding' thing, in such a short time.

Here, we're working on lengthening his stride past his original lope-like training, as well as picking spots/leads-- getting ready for the Baby Green circuit next year! His "mommy" also gets a chance to show off her fab equitation as well. And me? Well, I'm shouting and filming. :)

Would've done more, but as is typical with autumn in White Castle, LA; we had about ten thousand mosquitoes dive-bombing us and the camera. You can see just how bad they were, at about 1:44 into the film. Ah, country living. lol

We love this guy soooo much! He's such a trier, so intelligent, and just so plain disgustingly-adorable... that we thought we had to share it with everyone, just so they could learn to love him too!

@RoxieRainsRoobie

He was 4 1/2 at the time... so technically grown, but still having only been broken for a short time before this; and definitely the baby of the barn, considering that all of his barn-mates are in their late teens or 20s.
