Well, I have set the date! For going back to Colorado and picking up my last 3 horses and 2 GoatBoys and bringing them home to Arizona, that is...
This is Red and Blue...my infamous GoatBoys. They LOVE to ride in the truck and are sticking their faces in the window of my truck in this photo. Kinda gives you an idea of how LARGE they are. They have grown since I took this photo 5 years ago. A LOT.
This is Boo. I call her BooBoo horse. I have no idea what her real name is. Once upon a time, a person with whom I worked with called me and said..."Someone is giving me a horse and I don't have a place to keep it!" And naturally I replied with, "Well, you can keep it at my place until you get settled and find a good stables." Famous last words. I got home, there was this new horse at my place. I never saw the person again. I have no idea where she came from, what her history is, how old she is...NOTHING. But I love her to pieces. She is the sweetest thing I have ever known. She will be with me until the end of her life, because every horse deserves to be loved by a little girl and I have a lot of little girls hanging around my place.....
Noooooo.....the picture is not fuzzy. She always looks like this. (Not really) But this is my little Siri`. Siri` is a Norwegian Fjord. Fjords are a short and squat draft breed. Although they are usually about 14 hands in height, (like many of my Arabians), they are chunky, stocky and EXTREMELY athletic! You would not think it, but little Ms Siri` is quite the jumper. She is also the Alpha Mare in my herd. No one, I repeat, NO ONE, (except Houdini) messes with Siri`. I will be glad to welcome her home.
I do not have a photo of Jahzz. Jahzz is new to my herd. He is another Arabian gelding and is just 4 years old...same as Mojo! He is a lovely bay and I am eager to get him here to start his training. I have plans for Jahzz, Mojo and Pink to all head to the Scottsdale Arabian Show sometime in the future...we shall see if this works. Or if they kill me during the training process...
If all goes well, my little family shall all be together again by Thanksgiving.
It will be the best Thanksgiving present I have ever gotten....
I'm sure it will be wonderful to have them all with you again! I've always dreamed of going to the Scottsdale Arabian show.. just to spectate and take it all in. You can plan to go and show and I'll plan to come down to watch and cheer you on!! :-D
ReplyDeleteAll did not go well. HUGE storm moving through Colorado kept me from getting there! They actually closed Highway 50 because of the danger from snow. :0( I shall have to try another day.
DeleteUgh. I'm sorry to hear that... Ah, winter... :-/
