We had a really great day today. As some of you know we have still been looking for a new horse for my DH. Yesterday, we stumbled on this one and today we went back to pick him up. I rode with the man's wife and friend on about a 2 hour trail ride (as a test) and when we got back, another friend of the wife's was there and brought her mini. The Mini is headed to the trainer.

So...now my horse (who ended up being named Dixie Chick) has a new dude...here he is and his name is Scooter!

Hi big guy....how's the weather up there???

I see love is in the air. Nice horses

sandpat 08-24-2009 05:09 AM

Thank you all...we are still pinching ourselves that we were able to find 2 such nice horses. Karla, DH still has some recouping to do before he can just "hop" on, but he is a good rider and he will love riding this horse!

For right now, I have to ride Scooter for him...man, I hate that :roll: :wink: :lol: :lol:

Mousie 08-24-2009 07:39 AM

Dixie and Scooter, love it! They look like they had an instant chemistry!
What a pretty girl and a handsome boy, you have there, Patti :D
I think I want a horsie, awww :wink:

BFW....usually the big horses are really spooky around ponies. I have no idea why, but the ponies scare them to death! :shock:

Both of your horses are just gorgeous!!! Wish I was nearby---I would love to go riding with you.

k3n 09-01-2009 03:06 AM

Scooter's a beauty and Dixie seems to think so too! As much as you love riding him, won't it be great when you and DH can ride out together? :D

sandpat 09-01-2009 05:10 AM

Well Marcia, just come on over! I'd love to have you a riding partner!
