You are so lucky!
I am so jealous.
Please post as many photos of her as possible.
What are your plans for her?
Riding English or Western, Horse Shows or Breeding,
or all of the above?
CONGRATULATIONS on the beautiful new addition to your family.
(If I were you, I would just ride her bareback, I wouldn't be able to wait for USPS.)

Tux kitties and tux horsies... nuthin' better, huh?

Plans? Well... ride, ride, ride right now! lol (Or rather, as soon as my saddle/saddle parts come in. ) She's still pretty green - doesn't neck rain, hasn't quite picked up on the leg pressure thing yet either - goes pretty well by voice commands though. (Guess "Santa" will be delivering a ticket to "finishing school" for Christmas. lol)

I would like for her to learn both english and western. Problem is, I'm smack dab in the middle of western country, hardly anyone (seriously, I only know 3 including myself) that ride english. I'm more interested in having a companion than a show horse but I'm not ruling out the possibility of a few local shows once we both get polished up on our skills. Breeding? Again, not in the current picture but maybe one (or two) WAY WAY WAY down the road. (I know I could never give them up thus only one or two!)

I haven't ridden in a couple of years so I don't feel as confident as I once did (hence part of the reason I haven't hopped on bareback, yet). Sounds like we both have a bit of work/learning in store for us!


Thank you guys again for all your compliments and well wishes!
