There’s a certain person in my world who has populated my life with horses and dogs. Yep. I go to Teresa Osborn’s home and I come home with a horse. She hasn’t done that too me in a while and I thought I was done with that.
But, it’s a different story this time. Teresa has loaned me a wondrous horse to develop, ride and show. He has been started and Teresa has done some ground work with him. He’s been a pasture horse for a while. Now he’s in my horse pasture and is my wonderful new project. Lucky is five or six years old. He’ll be for sale after the Celebration. Are you looking for a nicely gaited short fox trotter gelding that has been there and done that? Wait till the 2nd week of September 2012 and Teresa will quote a price.
He’s wonderfully naturally gaited, short, stocky and a gifted athlete. In other words, he’s got it all just sitting around waiting to amaze everyone. And I get to do it.
What an incredible opportunity for the both of us.
I was so amazed to bring him home tonight, I didn’t even think about taking his picture. I wasn’t even going to take him home with me…but arrange to get him next March when the warm weather is thinking about returning.
I was at Teresa’s. Hope told me I should be taking him home now. I remembered how fun it is to play the Parelli 7 Games with a new horse and the delight it is to bond with a new horse. I asked to take him home and Teresa let me. She even walked him into the trailer ..he might have loaded three times in his life and he walked in the trailer with Teresa. When I got home, he walked out of the trailer with me..calm.
Lucky has an amazing back story. He’s the last son of World Grand Champion Country Frank whom the entire fox trotter nation thinks is an amazing horse. Country Frank died way too early his life and left us with only a few offspring. I have one of them for myself for the next year!
Never did I think this would happen!
I took two horses to a clinic today. Sage left to go make a baby with Pride’s Traveling John John. Incidentally, the Vaught’s and I purchased JJ from Teresa. See the connection! Teresa owned JJ when Sage produced Nova. Diva, the World Grand Champion Ranch horse came from Teresa’s place to my place. I have Goldie, Powder’s mom. I bought Goldie so I could have Powder. See what Teresa does to me! Anyway, I came home with two horses.
I wasn’t going to tell my husband. I was just going to tell my husband that Sage had changed color when he asked me what that strange horse was doing in my pasture.
When I got home, spouse was weak. He’s in the middle of a diabetes episode where he feels wretched. I chose to tell him now and it worked. No screaming. No yelling. Plus, the number of horse that I own has stayed the same. Before today, I own 5 1/2 horses. Today, I still own 51/2 horses!
I’ll tell you Lucky’s back story tomorrow and post of picture of him. I can’t believe I didn’t take a picture!
