Here are photos of Phantom as he grew from a cute baby...

This is the picture taken from his APHA registration papers. I would estimate that he was about 2 months old here, as his papers are dated July.

This is the photograph from the Paint Horse Journal's "Stars of Tomorrow" section where I first found him. It was probably taken when he was approximately 3 months old.

This photograph was taken in early October, when he was approximately 5 1/2 months old. (Thanks John and Laura!!)

Here is Phantom the day he arrived at his new home - 6 months old (and tired from his long trip!)

This pictures were taken the first week he arrived, at 6 months of age.

These two pictures were taken at one year of age!

This photo is of Phantom and his new "buddy" Hank (Honky Tonk Cowboy, our other gelding) - Phantom at one year old and Hank at 16.

...and here is Phantom proudly displaying his first blue ribbons...at 14 months of age!!

Here is Phantom the first night under saddle, in March of 1999.

Just 5 months later, here is Phantom with his first blue ribbon in an under saddle class!!
