DANTE ZFS
My SWEET Dante….. the beautiful, elegant, endearing c**t I worked so long and hard to produce.
My SWEET Dante - the boy who hands down wins the award for the kindest, most civilized intact c**t ever at ZFS. Twice now my vet has had to reschedule his castration and each time I have thought hmmm….maybe he should stay a c**t……. And I RARELY think that once the testosterone starts flowing.
For anyone who knows me or has visited the farm in the three years leading up to his birth, there were endless stories, laments, self-deprecating rants about the stupidity of buying “just one more mare”…and the crazier decision to buy from “that breeder…..” who I had dealt with numerous times before……. Hence the song used in my FB story - Everlong…. A favorite song and the song playing in the barn as I slowly withdrew my arm from Dante’s dam having SUCESSFULLY inseminated her….an act that I feared would never happen and if I did attempt it, would result in my certain death…. “Hello…I waited here for you……..” I cried then, I cried at his birth, I got teary eyed yesterday, cuddling him in pasture having just given up on the attempt at post worthy video…..because when sweet Dante keeps circling back to me in the field while I wave a stupid bag on the end of a whip….well you drop the bag, admire what a handsome, elegant c**t he is, and call it a day.
He is the boy his dam Kit (who I have come to ADORE) shared willingly with me….raising him was truly a team effort - and what an amazing mother Kit proved to be. Quiet, and steady, and generous, and kind….. in fact, raising Dante became a group effort early on as Kit willingly shared him with his older sisters as well….happily letting them babysit while she took some “me time” each day…..
As his story is only just over a year long, the best way to further describe him to a potential partner (buyer) is to remember spending time in the barn with him as a weanling…the lone weanling on the farm. He was the one to hang out with me during winter barn chores….playing in the aisle as his siblings had done in the past. There were tack room adventures, dark storage room explorations, walking over (and sometimes under) things games….and then there was the time I left the barn for a bit and when I returned, I couldn’t find him! That was an “under” game….young Dante managed to get under a big tarp, hanging over a “safely fastened” stall guard….all to get into the hay room - clearly proving Dante is NO Dummy
Then there was the cold, miserable rainy day I once again left him in the aisle way for a while and when I returned, in adorable “puppy” fashion, he had made a nest out of the moving blankets I put down for them to walk on….and there he was, curled up fast asleep….
So - to summarize yearling Dante….sweet, kind, endearing ……everything I hoped for…everything I waited so very long to see.
Dante is one of the most elegant youngsters I have produced in recent years - he could be a fabulous hunter but certainly can become an exceptional dressage partner as well. Hopefully video is not needed to show he has the same exceptional hind leg as all his other siblings…and the same rhythmic movement in the same correct gaits….. Hopefully the MANY photos give a glimpse at how smart, curious, and trainable he is…..
