I'M IN LOVE!!

I've finally experienced love at first sight. It's a powerful thing. I walked into horses yesterday and there he was. The most gorgeous black gelding I've ever seen. He's tall, dark, and handsome in every sense of the phrase. I lusted after him from looking at him, then I rode him. He's amazing. He's super responsive, nice lope, but kind of a bumpy trot. He's the most fantastic piece of horse flesh I've ever experienced.

A little history on my fellow. He was a $20K roping horse in his previous life. He hurt his leg and had to have surgery (so his leg is a little swollen). Bottom line he can't do his job anymore so they were going to put him down. That would be an atrocity to the world. So the vet suggested an alternative. Give him to us for therapy. We could sell him and keep the money, or use him as a therapy horse. He's super broke and doesn't startle at anything, but he doesn't like bubbles.

For the record his leg doesn't even phase. We rode him every chance anyone had yesterday and he never favored it once, or stepped short. So I've been begging Cindy to let me ride him at the fundraiser next week. I'm pretty sure that I look better just being on him. I also think since he was formerly a roping horse that he'll do alright at sorting.

This is also your reminder for the fundraiser next Saturday November 1st at 5:00. Please come and buy stuff at the bake sale and raffle and silent auction. But most importantly to watch me ride the most beautiful horse in the world for team sorting. This is the ranch's website so you can find it. Please everyone come. http://www.sdpbuffaloranch.com/
