Hey Love? One of the guys has a horse for sale...

It's funny that we were just discussing terms like "green broke" and how it means different things to different people.

DH just called. One of the guys he works with is short on cash and long on horses at the moment. And to be fair, we are a horse short.
We only have three broke horses right now and four behinds to put on them.

But he was like a little boy hoping to get that new Red Ryder BB gun he saw up town, the way he was selling me on it.

"How green is "green"?" I'd ask.
He'd reply with, "He's real pretty... Buckskin with a glass eye."
"How green are we talkin' here?"
"Mike said I could borrow him for a day or two and try him out..."


OK, you can try him out. lol

I swear though-- There are days I think he's like an alcoholic working at a bar. A bunch of horse traders up there, they're always trying to sell each other a saddle, or a pair of spurs, trading around their bridles or selling each other this "colt I picked up at the sale that's just not working out for me. You interested?"
How anyone ends up with a paycheck to take home is beyond me. lol

Could be worse- mine's current "thang" is golf. Golf is the most boring activity known to man. He's going on a golf outing next month with three buddies, when he was telling me about it I heard: three days, Maryland, Delaware, professional courses, need some stuff... I'd take a pretty buckskin with a watch eye any day.

Pictures please? I just bought a buckskin mare myself.

Now that you have an equal number of riders and horses I suspect you may need a spare for those times when one can't be rode, lol.


Have fun, be safe
