Colossus of Rhodes
Colossus of Rhodes came to Blackthorn Stables late in 2011. He was supposed to be accompanied by Golden Age and Classical Renaissance but Stone, as usual, couldn't fulfill their orders, but I managed to get Rhodie shipped to me in time for his debut show at Peach State Live. When he got here, I was already frustrated about not having the complete order, and on top of that, there were some things about him that seemed off to me.
However, at his first show he performed amazingly, getting 1st runner up to Best in Show (the judge said it was either him or Laws of Attraction who was going to win it. Since Laws won it, Rhodie ended up edged out. He has had an amazing show career with us!
