Lost my Arab May 29th to COLIC.
My Lil Welsh pony Sassy is SAD, as the rest of the family.
Been watching for sales, Facebook, and other Illinois sites. Looking for a horse is like looking for a car!
I found an hour away a Share rescue facility.
Went to visit yesterday after getting approved on my application. Yes! Step 1 of 100 seems like. Rode Abby, QH mare, 8 yrs old.
Bucking, running, in the arena. Thought No Way! Got on her, Gentle as can be! 14+ hands. My wife an I are Little, hee, hee!
Then we got on Dancer! QH paint, black and white. 8 yrs old, beautiful markings.
He was pacing in the stall. Was told he doesn't like being stalled. Obviously!
Saddled him, took off running, bucking, been couped up. All the other 60 horses are whinning. That doesnt help!
He finally chills, put on his headstall.
Trainer hops on, what a *****cat!
Hadn't been ridden since last fall.
He was perfect for me in the arena.
So today is outside riding.
That'll help make a decision. If I want one or not.
There are others, but these 2 I'm looking at.
Both picked up feet just fine, felt all body parts NO ISSUES.
Dancer is 14 + hands also.
I looked at TWer's, TB, Apps, Purcherons, actually just loved em all!
So hopefully today will be a good day to decide, it's my B-day which I prefer to SKIP! Figured this would be a nice present.
I'll let you know tomorrow.
Celebrating Grandaughters 4th of July B-day tonite, as she will be in the N. Carolina mountains with her Uncle who just became a US forester.
See ya! Terry
