Getting a new horse...

[born2run]

on Sunday. I'm so excited about this! It's a trade...this gal is taking Sierra (who was way beyond my capabilities and time) and I'm getting her yearling Paint filly. This filly has excellent bloodlines, and I'm really hoping to get a speed horse out of her. She is gorgeous! For those of you who know Paints, she's a sorrel tobiano. Has Sonny Dee Bar in her pedigree. More close up her grandsire was an excellent gamer. So she could go either way.

Anyway...had to share!

That is so neat...paints are beautiful! I want a sorrell too..with a white blaze on her nose...I want to call her Abigal, and get my husband and black stallion and call him King David. We just got 2 donkeys...they are the sweetest things...I am so excited for you!! We hope to have horses in 2 years...we have the land 80 acres, but have alot to do, fencing etc...Have fun!

That is awsome!!! We have 5 horses. 4 are walking horses, 1 qh mare that is a cremello, I wanted to see if her parents are reg to try and get her reg with AQHA since they did away with the white rule. We have a 2 yr old black and white tobianno walking horse filly. She's pretty.

Bad luck struck on Thursday night. This filly injured her leg quite badly, so I don't have her yet, much less know if I'm EVER going to get her. I'm plain disgusted, but such is life.


Tamara...looking for that sorrel? lol...Sierra is exactly like that. Sorrel with a blaze, flaxen mane and tail, socks on diaganols, coronet bands on diaganols. She's spectacular!

AWE...I am sorry to hear about that...be careful about getting a horse with an injury. YOu know...God understands and ask him for the right timing as well as the right horse...it will happen! Sounds like the one I want!

We have 2 donkeys....tonight Misty was limping, and I was so stressed, I walked over to her trying to figure out what happened..I looked at her hoof, I am not sure how she managed this, but she stepped into a black circle of plastic....that fit her hook perfectly. We got it off, but she was hobbling along on it....I'm so concerned for her, I prayed for her, We don't ride them, but still I want her happy!

Don't be to discouraged....ok? Tamara

So sorry to hear that, maybe something else will work out.

What a shame. I sure hope the dear thing isn't permanently hurt. Is the Horse any better today?

 

[born2run]

The filly is permanently injured. She'll never be ridable. Evidently she had her original injury at 2-3 months. As far as Sierra, I've pretty well decided to keep her and use her as a broodmare. She should throw color (came from sorrel overos), and have good conformation. So...if ya'll are foal shopping in 2007 keep me in mind.

 

[country woman]

I am sorry to hear this about your new intended foal. I hope you will get another horse.

 

[MagicStar723]

I'm sorry to hear about your misfortune. Good luck!

 

[born2run]

Thanks for the good wishes, everyone.

I'm disgusted, but happy that I found this out before I got her home. The last thing I need is another unridable horse.

On the upside, I've been having some incredible rides lately on my Appy. I found out she "Indian Shuffles", which took some getting used to, but it's her preferred mode of travel. I've been training her quite hard, adding on miles and getting her ready for our first limited distance endurance ride. Don't know if that'll be this year anymore, but we'll see what happens.

 

[Tamara77777]

glad to hear you've moving forward and enjoying the horse you have presently!

You never know what God will do with the horse you have now!

 

[country woman]

What is Indian Shuffles I never heard of it?

 

[born2run]

The Indian Shuffle is a 4 beat gait, not quite as pronounced a ASB or TWH's rack, but similar. It feels like they're just lifting up their feet, and it gives the rider a side to side motion, rather then up and down. You cannot post to it...believe me, I tried until I figured out that it was comfortable to sit it!
