Here is Skippy Jon Jones and his mother, Hope, both of Showgate Stables. In this photo, Hope had just given birth to her foal a few hours before. You can see it in her eyes -- she is a happy, but tired mother. She is doing her wonderful best to bring love, nourishment, and instruction to her baby boy. I have known this mare for years, she has lived at Showgate for numerous years now. Meghan first bought her at Congress while she was in foal with the liver dark Faith, an elegant filly. She has had two colts (one who died) and a filly in the space of time between Faith and Skippy Jon Jones in this photo. She's had many foals. And she is nothing but patient, calm, sweet, intelligent, capable, and efficient. She's kind to everyone and rock solid. She is Barbie's daughter's horse now and little KT loves her and her new baby!
