Toby! Pictures/Video (Photo Heavy)

[jilllovesgus]

Okay well, as a lot of you know I'm looking for a second horse. And I found Toby. Love at first site, guys. (Well, not as much as I love Gus, but... haha) He's absolutely beautiful. He's a 16.1 hh bay Appendix gelding, registered with the AQHA. I love love love him! So sweet on the ground, and a joy to ride! Too tired to explain much else, but I drove four hours to see him yesterday and it was well worth it!

We jumped too! I haven't jumped in months, excuse my awful position.
His second time jumping this year, and sixth altogether. He was so quiet
to and after the jumps, I loved it!

He was like a big ol' couch. (:

His daddy is Leaguers Last... thus Toby's showname being Ivan Leaguer, hehe. Here (http://www.doubletqh.com/leaguers_last.htm) is his sire's website... he's gorgeous. But AH AH AH I really like Toby. We're getting my trainer's opinion, then seeing if we have a stall for him, then putting down a deposit, then a vet check, and if those four obstacles are passed, he's mine! So excited! Gussy will have a brother!

sooooo, he's not all that great... he's only worth giving to me... haha, jk, he is DROP DEAD GORGEOUS!!! I'm in love now... I hope he doesn't cost an arm and a leg, though looking at those pictures I'd be willing to bet he's worth every cent... nice choice!

[moniexponie]

Yay Jill!! I'm so happy for you, especially after all the hard work that you put into healing the Gusters, and then him going lame again.... so sooo sad. My heart goes out to you. <3

And yes, he is GORGEOUS!! I hope everything works out. :D

[francesca=]]

Well I'm impressed
YOu guys look great and
I wish you the best of luck

[cursivenight]

Wow! He looks amazing - he looks like such a nice mover...Just wow. Congrats and good luck!

[jilllovesgus]

Thank you thank you!
And alliekk, your comment really scared me at first, haha!
I was like, "NOT ALL THAT GREAT?!" Haha (;

[DixieGirl]

He is sooooo pretty!! So is his dad!I hope you get to own him!! CONGRATS!!!

[StarGirl]

WOW. You two look awesome together! Good luck, hope he's yours!!! :D

[MarshmellowManda]

Wow hes really pretty! And the fact that hes 16.1 you'd think he would be to big for you since your smaller but you fit really well with him! Good Luck hopefully it will all work out! :D

[silverleprichuan]

he's a nice looking gelding, I'm guessing you're going to do AQHA HUS and O/F with him?

[jilllovesgus]

Thaaanks guys!

he's a nice looking gelding, I'm guessing you're going to do AQHA HUS and O/F with him?

I honetly have no idea what those things are, haha. I was planning on Pleasures, or if he turns out to be a nice jumping horse, Hunters over fences...

[ashleygoesrawr]

she means showing at AQHA shows =) those are fun, you can do jumping at AQHA shows as well. but your trainer probably doesn't go to AQHA shows [its a whole different circuit and such].

anyways, he's cute! how old is he [sorry if you said that i guess i didn't see]? good luck with your vet check and such =)

[crazy4horses]

Were'd you find him? Hes BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!! :) Your going to be lucky if you get him!!

[jilllovesgus]

Ohhh, haha thanks. (: Well, yeah, no... it would be cheaper (and more fun) to go to the same shows my friend Ashley goes to (she shows every weekend) so we could split the trailering fee and such. Yeeeepp.

He's 8, btw. (:

And I found him online. (:

[ashleygoesrawr]

yeah, regular h/j is better anyways =D and 8 is the perfect age!

anyways, like i said he is adorable [as you know =P] again, good luck!

[Skip_n_Hide]

Wow u 2 look great together!

Looks like Friday 13th is a lucky date for you! :p

[HappyHorse13]

OMG! You two look perfect together!!!! Congrats!!! He is a hunk ;).

[crazy4horses]

whats a hunk?

[Manda]

He is beautiful :] Good luck with getting him.

[jilllovesgus]

Thanks guys!

[HorseDayz11]

Awww. You two seem so compatable. He is spirited, but still understands what you ask. Get him. =D

[alliekk]

not to be snoopy or anything, but what are they asking for him? I LOVE his color and conformation. does he have any quirks? who wants a nag for a horse, right? shaz has his quirks, HE'S LAZY!!! haha... Toby is definitely not lazy, he is probably the perfect temperament and seems like the perfect match for you: though he isn't perfectly trained and winning EVERY class to be shown in (judging from the video) I believe he will be a good match because you and him can learn together and improve on each others weaknesses. I hope all goes well!

oh, and by the way, GIVE US AN UPDATE WOMAN! lol
