Dark Blue Rerun, one of Blue's first foal crop, now a 16.2-plus grulla gelding, with AQHA points in Novice and Novice Amateur points to his credit, enjoys a brisk romp in the snow in Providence Forge, Virginia, where he awaits word about
a proposed voyage across the water to England with a new owner!
Dark Blue Rerun, (aka "Riley) a 2004 grulla gelding by Blue and out of Favorite Ant Marie,
went on his first fox hunt
with owner Sarah Adama Wells a couple of months ago in Virginia,
on a plantation near the historic James River.
"Riley" proved to be the most balanced and calmest mount in the entire field,
enabling his rider to partake of a lovely Mimosa or two while keeping up with the third flight over muddy terrain. The blessings of western pleasure training,
allowing neck-reining and spur-stops, proved to be a joy when riding to the hounds!
Anna Durnell of Pendleton, Indiana, riding Dynamic In Pleasure. Anna is 3 in
this picture and didn't like the "Leading"
part of the Lead-Line classes! She
was allowed to lope Dyna at home, for heavens sake! Bareback!!
Dark Blue Rerun getting psyched up for his first lead-line class, handled by a
young lady whose name we can't remember and will have to fill in later. It was
her first time to ride a horse, EVER!!! and was she ever excited!

Adam Gates, son of Jan and Todd Gates, mounted on his favorite buddy, "Roo" a
full brother to Dynamic In Pleasure. Adam is a little older than Roo in this
picture, but they're both about three years old!
Alliana Moore rides the dun mare from Indiana, "Gabby" in her first-ever Lead-Line class, presented by Papa Larry Krugh
on the line. Alli did a fine job of smiling at the judge, and got all the questions right when her turn came. Alli is waiting patiently for her time to show a Dynamic In Blue baby someday.
Gavin Flesch, aged six, takes a trip around the indoor arena on "Riley" (Dark
Blue Rerun)on a weekend visit to Papa
Krugh's. Gavin loves Riley because, quote:
"He's the biggest horse I ever rode, and he's nice
Ava Gardner Tillinghast's 2006 grulla mare, Dynamic Wilobars Blu (Dynamic In
Blue x Wilobars Six Pence)enjoys some relaxing "down time' with trainer Robin
Murphy in her stall at the Ohio State Buckskin Association's "Red, White, &
BUCKSKIN!" 4-day circuit last July 4. Watch out for this pretty-moving Jr.
