aka: Forest, Furry, Fat Boy, Furrmeister
"Costalot"
was an accidental purchase from an Inglis tried stock sale. His racing name was "Forest Romance", he is by "Forest Glow" out
of a "Celestial Dancer" mare "Rhythm and Romance". So far he is showing a great attitude to his new career and an awesome
ability over fences.
Forest just
placed 11th in his first CCI**star.
Forest
has placed TOP TEN in all but 3 starts, including CIC, CCI, * & **stars

My mate Ryan was competing Forest for me while I was
getting ready for a Postdoctoral fellowship in America. Ryan took Forest (aka: Costalot) to Canberra World Cup Show on 6th
and 7th Nov (2004) and did his first D-grade classes.

Now that I have returned to the USA for another Post-doc I have left Forest with good mate Sandy to see how Forest goes
as an eventer. To date Forest has taken to eventing like a natural and will be aimed for a **star start at Sydney 3DE 2007.
You can follow his progress on Sandy's website, just hit the link.
Visit Diamond Lodge and Sandy Lucas to follow Forest's eventing progress.

Ryan then took Forest on a road trip to compete on the Victorian World Cup Circuit - Wodonga and Sale then on to South
Australia (Mt Gambier) for the Australian Championships. He had a great initiation to competition by doing this show run with
Ryan and competed in some tough D-grades, Young horse classes and Futurities.
I competed in the Tempo Showjumping Classic on the 4-6 Feb 2005 in the D-Grades. Forest was fantastic, he coped so well
to me being a little rusty and was very forgiving of my mistakes.
