I went to visit Gunnar in February, 2007.
I hadn't seen him in 4 years. He is
absolutely the total goof-ball I saw born,
raised and loved. He lost interest in me as
soon as the carrots were gone, and drifted
off to harass the neighboring horses. I had
to drag him up to get this photo ~ he
obviously had much more important things
to do. At left, he looks like such a dork,
but look above how magnificent he is in
the air. What a MEATBALL!

Hi Jill -
Thought you'd love this story. My Blue's
pasture buddy had to be put down (at 29 -
they should all be so lucky to live that long)
& i had tobring him back to my barn till I
found him a new buddy. Well on Friday I
got him a 1.5yr old mini mule (see photo) -
from the second we unloaded him Gunnar
has been in awe of him. So yesturday I had
Blue & Lord Humphrey Humperdink (thats
his name) out & I thought what the heck let
me let Gunnar go play with them - well
Gunnar decided that Humphrey is his baby &
would not let Blue or anyone else near him.
He stood over him the entire time with his
neck all cresty & whenever people would
stop to try & look - Gunnar would prance
around like an upper level dressage horse all
proud of his baby. Everyone kept saying that
I should let Gunnar have him & go get Blue
another mini. I will try and get some photos
of Gunnar with his baby, Humphrey will be at
the barn for at least 2 weeks of humans are
ok training before he & Blue head back to my
office.

Jill -
Mr. Gunnar is doing wonderful, he has been doing the pre-greens with Viktoria or at least we have been trying
to :). The past 3 shows Gunnar has come along but has had to be scratched fir some odd reason or another
(attacked by fire ants, allergic to new linament, etc) - it has become a joke in the show office that he just
wants to come to the shows to socialize. The next show is in 2 weeks & Gunnar has assured me that his 3
crazy things are done & that he is very ready to get back into the ring.
He has grown a bit more in both directions & is still quite the clown. Just last week he thought it would be
really funny to leap in a huge puddle splashing me while i was taking his halter off in a paddock, So of course
he got loose & then spent the next 1/2 hour running & bucking right around me (170 acres & he stayed within
20' of me the entire time just so he could mud me) his romp finally ended when he jumped into a paddock with
a cute mare that he wanted to scratch his back.
He's been jumping around the 3'9-4' every now & again - with beautiful style & plenty of clearance. He just
loves it, u can see his happy little ears & he almost smiles when he sees he gets to do the larger fences. I will
try & get some really cute larger fence photos of him & I will send u a copy of his pre-green photo from
circuit (he looks ultra cute).
So as u can see Gunnar is doing great :)
