Fugue in D (aka Spider) arrived uneventfully on April 29, 2003 at 2:30 am. He is out of Toccata, a Canadian Warmblood (Dutch x Thoroughbred, Canadian Sport Horse approved) mare and the Thoroughbred (Gold Premium Canadian Sport Horse) stallion, A Fine Romance. |
| The first 24 hours ... |

| Spider appeared to be black when he was born but he has since changed to dark brown. He is now a rich chocolate brown all over. There aren't even any white markings except for maybe half a dozen hairs on his forehead. |  |
| 10.2 hh (more or less). All indications are that he is going to be VERY tall! |
 |
 |
Ten days old ... |
| At 3 weeks ... |
 |
 |
At 5 weeks old ... 11.2 hh |
 |
... with the herd Silk (the baby-sitter), my Quarter Horse gelding is the chestnut on the left, Toccata (the mom) is the bay in the middle and Fugue in D is on the extreme right. |
| 12.2 hh at 3 months ... Spider is a joy to work with. He is the first foal for both Toccata and me. We couldn't have done better. He is beautifully conformed, calm, thoughtful, intelligent, trusting, interested, and attentive. I couldn't ask for better temperament. He is keen to work with people and he learns very quickly. He LOVES to be groomed which is a very good thing because I LOVE to groom! |

| 15.3 hh as a yearling (at 17 months) .... Looking great at his second show |
