Clones?

So I met someone today who owns a cloned horse! They cloned the horse for breeding purposes (it is a stallion).

Anyone want to guess what sport this horse participates in that warrents it being cloned?

No, not a race horse.

Not show jumping or dressage either...

Not a reiner, western pleasure horse, or cow horse.

So what made this horse clone worthy?

It's "original" version....is.....a BUCKING HORSE!!

I had no idea there is that sort of money in bucking horses!

........................

What a weird evening weather wise. I was optomistic and went ahead and built the jump course outside...but 5 minutes into the 6:30 lesson lightenning appeared right overhead...so into the indoor! Did that ever come up fast...fortunately it left quickly too, and we did a nice hack inside, and then were able to head back out to jump, so kind of recreating a show type setting.

I then got on Charmer to demo her to someone...and 10 minutes or so into that ride it started to rain and thunder. Charmer didn't seem to care about the weather though....which is impressive...I remember the first time I rode Dexter outside in the rain, he shoved his head to the ground, stuck his ears out to the side and only wanted to face away from the wind.\

Meanwhile all the horses that were still outside took turns stopping, dropping, and rolling, so be prepared for some muddy horses.

Hmmmm, maybe I could clone Edgar and then teach Edgar II to actually have some ground manners and fear my roar! It could be the perfect horse
