This is Spud when we first got him in the fall of 2005.

  Here's Spud on April 1st 2006.






And here's Spud at his first event, May 7, 2006.  We placed first in a walk-trot dressage test!  (Don't ask me why he's standing like that, Annie took the picture.)




  Here's Spud Vader, dark lord of the potato, with his young apprentice:
