KS's Handsome As Bond

'Connery' is a bright chestnut with a flaxen tail, blanket with spots, and a star.

When you spend 11 months dreaming about what you want a foal to look like, it's hard to dream up a more perfect colt than this! One of only two foals sired by International Champion KS's Dashs Double O Seven before his exportation to Australia, Connery is almost the spitting image of his sire. While this is the first foal for his sire, Connery's dam is an already well proven mare. Shown herself in halter and JPFC classes before retiring to the broodmare band, KS's Tigers Date A Dream has already produced KS's Justa Tad Nifty, ROM Champion, International Res. Champion, KS's Ima Nifty Peterbilt, National High Point Champion, and KS's Nifty Hello Kitty, Alabama State Open Show top 5 in halter and walk/trot. Connery has a beautiful head with wide set eyes and a tiny muzzle, a shapely neck, and the same wide build and huge hip his sire has. On top of that he is a very good mover who just loves to lope, and you won't find a more charismatic chap! With a proven, power packed pedigree, acomplished siblings, aunts, and uncles, Connery is destined to be a show pony and then sire deluxe. Connery made his showring debut in 2009, and what a great start it was to what is sure to be an illustrious career. At only his second show of the season, Connery took home Reserve Grand Champion Stallion and Reserve High Point Yearling Triad at the Southeast Regional! From there it was on to the International Show, where he brought home an 8th place in halter. As the year continued, Connery racked up wins against some very tough competition in halter, yearling lunge line, and in-hand trail. As a July foal, Connery was fequently at a disadvantage due to his age and size, at times competing against colts 6 months older than himself. However, he continued to show his quality and talent. At the 2009 International Futurities, Connery placed 5th in halter dispite being obviously the smallest colt in the class. As the icing on the cake, Connery ended the year Reserve High Point halter stallion, and High Point in-hand in the Tennessee POA Club. He is also well on his way to his ROM in halter with 3 grands, 6 reserves, and 259 halter points. Watch for Connery at a show near you in 2010 as he competes in 2 year old halter colts, 2 year old lungeline and in-hand trail, and also adds most colorful to his lineup. Owned by Joanna Jacobs, Connery will be trained and shown by KS's Pony Farm again in 2010. There is no doubt he will catch everyone's attention both inside the show ring and out. He truly is Handsome... as Handsome As Bond!
