Default Horses anyone?? ***updated with a direct pic***

I was tooling around and stumbled across a couple of pic'* of one of my dad'* old show horses (Jericho) , here he is with Amber (one of the girls at the stable where he kept and trained the horse) showing in the "lead class", this horse took many first'* in this class and also many firsts in the "country rack class". Just thought I'd share, anyone else into Walking Horses?? Sorry, no direct pic'*, the site doesnt allow it.

***edit*** Mortehl was kind enough to get access to a direct pic, so here he is:

Horses, yes, but not that specific. I just shot a bunch of pics at the stables yesterday where Katie (my youngest) is taking riding lessons, and Bo the boxer is getting socialized with the horses.

Yeah, I know, I would've posted the pic'* here, but apparently it'* a no-no, And Amber is a very attractive girl, it definately helps with the judges!! I wish I would've learned to ride earlier in my life, I didnt ride my first horse until I was about 18 yrs old (and I was scared to death!!!, but I actually graduated to breaking a couple of our horses, SCARY!!!). It'* an excellent stress reliever, and just flat out fun time! I've never actually shown any horses in the local shows, I'm more into trail riding and enjoying the ride/scenery.

I knew there was a reason I was drawn here today

Very nice horses...I've never actually ridden a TWH (they are gaited horses and are supposed to be really smooth!)

I have to share my horses now too

This is Dream and I (jumping and galloping):




And here'* my youngest horse, Harvey (she is a girl!)



and here she is jumping (its small cause it was cut from a video):
