| Getting to know each other... |
| It was love at first sight. |
| First kiss! |

 |
| Mar 2002 - Showing off with Dad 9 months old, 13.3 at the withers |
 |
| Apr 2002 - First trail ride (boy, did Dad have fun!) 10 months old, just over 14.0 |
 |
|

 |

 |
 |

 |
| August 2002 - Hanging by the pool and catching some rays with a friend on a sunny Florida morning. |
 |
 |
| January 2003 - Not such a little man anymore! Update...as of April he is 15.3 at the withers and 16.0 at the butt - we're finally starting to level out! |
 |
| July 2003 - After spending a month with the trainer to start him under saddle, Riley goes on his first mounted trail ride around the neighborhood with Mom and friends. He did GREAT!!! We always said Cheyenne had the best canter, but after trying Riley's all I can say is...WOW...what an awesome ride! |
 |
| May 2003 - Crashing in the backyard until someone had to wake him up... |
 |
 |
| April 2004 - After 9 months of acting as the crash test dummy and putting some miles on him, it's time to turn him over to his future partner. This was their first lesson together with Kathleen. Riley really seemed to enjoy showing his stuff as he trotted over small jumps, especially since he spends so much time watching the "big boys" jump around. |
| May 2004 - Looks like they found a fun way to keep cool (and get muddy) on a hot afternoon! |
 |

 |
| November 2004 - Riley's first Hunter/Jumper schooling show! He was entered in two under saddle classes and won both! Congratulations! |
