It is written so often as to be cliche: "This guy was special from Day One." Well, sometimes we use cliches because they are so darn true. I found Tonka Truck on the morning of his birth and he looked like a week-old cria. He was arrow straight, he had huge, solid bone, coverage already, and a gorgeous head. His fleece was already fine, dense, and organized.
Tonka Truck is only the 3rd cria born on our farm to our herdsire, Radar. Radar took a backseat in breeding last year, as we are actually moving to phase out studs that aren't grey or harlequin appaloosa. Well, this little dude probably just earned his sire a few more slots on the breeding roster. He is just fantastic. His dam, Stonyridge Arista, is a stellar producer, and her sons have been champions. This guy may well follow in his brothers' footsteps.
Tonka looks like he is maturing to be just as awesome as I'd hoped, so he's officially off the sales list and into the Junior (REALLY junior) herdsire category.
