Some good news for tonight.

We didn't plan on another one so quickly but

Our daughter just got a new horse

It’s only been a few weeks since we tragically had to put down our previous horse. Still miss that big ol goofball.

But her trainer came across a young (two year-old) off-track thoroughbred. He’d only been raced three times and wasn’t quick enough. There was a waitlist a few dozen long already but we managed to get them to hold him until yesterday until we could decide

Flexions and x-rays were good (so we won’t be blindsided with leg and joint issues again) and he’s very young and hardly raced so he hasn’t been stressed

But. He’s 17hh! Will probably make 17.2hh

He’s TALL. The withers are at the top of my head!

Our daughter is excited. She’s been saving for a while and was able to buy him on her own (we help w/board and vet bills)

Sooo

Yeah

Here we go again! . We didn't plan on another one so quickly but
