My little sister Nellie [you might remember her, she came here for a few days and kind of left...lol ] has finally gotten my parents to give in to her requests for a horse. Of course, I never got that Mercedes convertible I wanted...but a horse is no problem.

I don't know too much of the details...I haven't dared to ask, I really don't know much about horses. Anyway, my sister has been riding for quite a long time, and so what could be better than a horse? She's been showing for a few years and has been begging my parents for a horse of her own since she first started.

Apparently one of her trainer's students is moving out to Minnesota and won't be able to take her horse with her. I don't know much about horses, but my sister told me he's a 9-year old bay Thoroughbred gelding named Cayman. I do know one thing, though...the price seems outrageous to me. $15,000!! Holy cow! To me, that is just absurd. But eh, whatever.

I've seen this horse once before when I stopped by Nellie's riding lesson over the summer. He's definitely gorgeous, but I don't think I'd pay $15,000 for him. Apparently he's an A Level Amateur Jumper or something and has competed and done well in some pretty big, well-known shows....not that that means much to me, but I guess that is why he is so much. Oh, and get this...his price has been seriously lowered from the original!

I don't know when Cayman will actually be Nellie's...but I think no later than June or so.

Oh well, just thought I would share...lol.
