First Day

Mare came from Canada. Earnie and Sandi from Keyhole Ranch shipped her. Roy and Rod did not make this trip. There was another chestnut gelding on the trailer I liked, but he was $12,000 and young and a LOT of horse (he seemed pretty tame to me, but we didn't see him undersaddle or even in-hand. Mare is grey, full sister to Colleen's Skye, half to Sarah's Dicken (same sire.) She's a lot more TB-y than Skye, thank goodness! I love Skye but he's not for me. Mike rode her in the round pen, few bucks but she'd been in the trailer since Monday! (This is Friday). Then he rode her outside and I got on her - good girl. Needs a few steering and "keep going" lessons, but transitions & brakes are there (yay!) Rode again @ night to let Matt & AP see her, good girl. Only 1 buck. They want $5,000 for her. Called Roy to let her know we'd keep her the 30 days, he was trilled.
