A change in horsies
Jan/14/09 08:29
I can’t believe it...two sunny days in a row in the valley in winter. Miracles will never cease. Which means a GREAT day to play with horses at the stables.
We’ve decided that with most of our concentration focused on our draft horses and driving, Rosie (our Arab) was getting lost in the shuffle. A difficult decision was made, and we put Rosie up for sale last week. She really is a pretty little arabian with a beautiful, typey head, but like all horses, she needs lots of attention and a job. Lunging her every other day and riding her twice a week wasn’t cutting it-she needs to be someone’s special baby. That said, a few folks came out to see her, but one family fell in love, and that’s all she wrote!
The great news is Rosie will remain here at NAS Lemoore, at our boarding stables, so although she will have a new Mom, she will still be part of our lives and I love that I can still visit with the always ready carrot. Congrats to Jordan and Rhonda on the new addition to your life. We hope you love her as much as we do.
Last I wrote, I had taken a day trip to Paso Robles to look at Shires. (Shires in my blood, what can I say?) Two horses caught my attention. I took Tony back down that following Sunday, and we both decided “Silver Prince” would be the horse for us. He is about 19 months old, so he is young yet for pulling stuff, but I do want to get him going on the bit, learning to ground drive, etc. He is going to be a BIG horse, so the sooner I get him super gentle and trained, the better. We put a deposit on him, and are hoping to bring him home at the end of the month once he is gelded and healed. I will post pics. We think we are going to name him “Cyde”.
It’s time to head to the stables and begin the day. My goal for today is to give stable orientation to both Jordan and her Mom and hang out with horsies for awhile. A perfect start to the day if you ask me!
Hope your day is starting off just as great as mine!~
