New Horse(s)!

We had a new arrival yesterday...and he made sure to make his presence known with the ladies; he spent the first hour or so prancing around showing off the the mares on the other side of the alley and making lots of noise. The mares were fascinated. Pete is a dark bay gelding, with a big white face, hind sock/stocking and some white on his neck/jowl. Very neat colouring. He is here for some finishing work and to be introduced to dressage. We will also be working on is catchability as he is a little sceptical of being caught.

Kaitlin also brought her new gelding down to the arena so I could meet him. He is a very pretty bay and he makes Kaitlin look tiny! He is close to 16.3 hands, but also quite thick in his body; definately a warmblood. He looks like a nice athletic horse, that just needs some consistent work and training. It is odd to see Kaitlin on such a big horse! She sure has a nice string of potential jumpers now!

If anyone knows someone looking for a fairly cheap TB mare, started under saddle and nicely built, albeit small at only 15.2 hands, I have been contacted by a lady I know who has one needing a new home. THe owner has some health issues and was taken advantage of by a trainer (who took her money and didn't do the training) and I would like to help her out. I hope to find the time to go look at the mare and possibly free jump her in the next couple weeks.
