A-38319 Dandardel Bobbie Jo lom

(Menai Silver Buck x Dandardel Betsi)

    Dandardel Bobbie Jo lom or as many have heard me call her “my little fat brown pony” has been my pride and joy since the day I bought her from JD Orear at the Tulsa show at the age of 4 months.  While looking at other Dandardel ponies, I walked by Bobbie’s stall, she turned around, looked up at me with those big brown eyes and I knew right then I had to own her.  Rich built her a little box stall in the horse trailer for the trip home to Ohio although I tried to convince him she was really small enough to ride in the back seat but he wasn’t buying that.

    Bobbie’s show career, as short as it’s been, includes breed classes, her performance debut being in leadline as a two year old with Travis Castellanos (also two in show years), as well as pleasure and draft driving.  Bobbie Jo makes me smile daily with all her antics.  Anything hanging on the walls or stall doors is fair game and heaven forbid you leave a broom in the aisle. 

    Bobbie has been an absolute delight and I dearly love her but we’re very proud to be the first to have achieved this award for a Dandardel pony.  JD would be so proud and he will be dearly missed by us.
