About three and a half years ago I bought a yearling McCurdy. He will be 5 this May so the past January he went to a trainer to learn how to really do what come naturally. I had him broke to ride as a four year old. He has been with the trainer for three weeks now and we took to him a small schooling type show today, just for the experience of seeing the outside world. Here is a picture I took of Smoke (McCurdy's Wholly Smoke) with Dub Ivins riding him. I did get to ride him in two of the classes for the first time gaiting him for me! Can't wait to get him home and start riding the trails around here and start his trail riding career! Attachment: IMG_2923_2.jpg (Downloaded 63 times)

I love McCurdy's!!! And he is gorgeous! He looks bigger than most I know. How tall is he? That is such great news and know you are anxious to get out there with him - trails and shows! Our BO has 2 wonderful ones and we used to ride with a Pastor McDuffie here in SC, now deceased, who raised some and that's all he rode. He held organized rides for all McCurdy owners at Hitchcock Woods near us, several times a year. Great inspirational man. We miss him a lot. But love the breed!

Thank you all. Smoke is 15.2, his dam is 15.3. I was kinda hoping he would take his size from his sire McCurdy's New Tradition. He is a very honest and willing guy, and super sensitive. Guess part of his new job will be to learn to come pick me up off whatever I am standing on!
