Rio- one year old

Today is Rio's birthday, and I'm sure proud of him, he has grown into a beautiful boy. Grown is the right word, I measured him yesterday and he's exactly 14 hh, so I think he will for sure make the measurement I figured of about 15.2hh.
What I haven't told you is that there is a good chance he will be going to Texas with Chickory- yep, Ted said we could part with him, and this is a good opportunity for him. I'll fill you in later when I have everything sorted out.
He sure represents Beamer- and Belle- well, and I hope everything works out. I know Chickory will be happy to have him along for the trip- they are best buddies.

This little guy has big hooves to  fill, but having him makes it easier to part with Rio.
