Wise move on your wife's part, face.
Was supposed to go look at that free Standardbred today but there are time constraints. Maybe Saturday. I am thinking that there is something wrong when someone buys a horse, pays to ship it, and then, after two and a half months, wants to give it away. I am dealing with a go-between and every bit of information I get is second handed. Just not comfortable with this. My favorite dealer came home from the hospital Monday after the heart valve transplant he got last week. I asked him before the surgery to be on the lookout for a horse for me to turn out with Whisper. I have pasture and she wants me to be there when she is in it. A gentle horse, thin is fine, I can deal with thin, broke decent would be good. He missed out on one he used to own. It went through the auction and he didn't recognize it because it was in bad shape. The seller came to him after and asked him why he didn't help him get more for it. The horse was well broke but underfed and feet neglected. I told him he should have given the kill buyer the $100 profit and then gotten his profit from me. I just want company for her but one I could put Cal or a visitor on would be nice.
Whisper was a brat when I made her go out.. She wanted back in when I was doing chores and started trying to open the gate to the barn with her foot...I showed her the lunge whip. She actually got uppity but saw I was seriously unhappy with her actions and she settled right down. She really needs more turnout. Danged weather. She is a lot more energetic since her trim. The angle is different on her front feet than it was and I am wondering if it is making her more comfortable.
Storm supposed to be moving in Wednesday. Hope they are smart enough to shut the buses down before it hits instead of closing things early and making the drivers transport in what we are going to get.
Stude, a visit to DH might help you see if you really want that move.
