After Margaret and I had such a fun time at the fall hunter pace, we opted to go again this spring! This time, while I rode Rejoice again, Margaret rode her horse Jester and had a friend ride Ladyhawke. All Kennebec Morgans!! Jester and Rejoice have the same dam and Jester and Lady share the same sire. Unfortunately instead of a lovely late spring day, we had one of the first intensely hot and humid days of the year. It was definitely a bummer, but the ride was mostly in the shade of the woods and we had a great time! most of the fences were 3' coops but we found a small log and this hay to jump haha Until we didn't. 😑 We brought along a third friend who rode Margaret's older mare, Ladyhawke. She's a good rider but hasn't known Ladyhawke for very long and didn't realize how much of a cranky boss mare she could be at times. She kicked Jester right in the front leg just about halfway through the ride, and while the cut itself ended up not being a big deal in the...
Day Eleven: Find a sale horse online that you want to buy
Well, this is hard! LOL! I am not the type of person who browses sale ads. And I am not in the market for a horse, so sale horses don't cross my mind. :-) If I got to choose a horse to buy for myself (as opposed to have a Standardbred given to me...), I would choose a Connemara (or maybe another Morgan). Yes, I LOVE my Standardbreds! But if we are living in my fantasy world here, then I get to have my dream Connemara pony!!! LOL!
Cute Connemara - and great price!
Another cutie Connemara
And another...
Or I would buy one from Bantry Bay Farm.
I would want a mare, maybe already started under saddle. I would not want anything over 6-7 years old. It would have to be a dappled gray or a chestnut.....maybe a bay. I am sure if I dedicated a lot of time to internet browsing I could find more examples.
You know, it just dawned on me. Instead of choosing a six figure warmblood as the horse I would dream about buying, I chose a pony. HA HA HA HA....

Aww, I like the first one the best. After that, I like the Bantry Bay eventer pony. Gotta love the ponies ;) (although, if you've got a six figurer you're offering up... I wouldn't say no!)
ReplyDeleteI love the Bantry Bay ponies. They event all around up here in New England. So cute and talented!
ReplyDeleteOMG I would never in a million years be able to afford a 6 figure horse! LOL! And you know, even if I could, I would still want a Connemara pony. HA HA HA
