Horse Shopping. Oh how I’m not liking this process. I venture to guess it’s worse than buying a used car.

First off I have to figure out what I want and what I need. Need: Safe Driving horse to fit current tack and vehicle. Want: Rare flashy totally unobtainable breeds that are out of my price range.

Now to filtering through all the ads in the paper, swap sheets, online and of course the “horse free to a good home.” After looking at all this over whelming information I have finally replied to 7 ads. Some already sold, some to big, some fine under saddle but won’t pull, some perfect in most every way but would involve more expense because they need custom tack. Then there are the horses that after viewing them you’d consider them a rescue case rather than a purchase.

I still am on the horse hunt and haven’t find the next perfect horse for my heart. Maybe soon I’ll find the right one. If not, it’ll just be me and Goliath on the trails this summer.

What terrible news.  2 Days after my last post I made the hard decision to put Hobbie down.  I’ve just recently stopped crying and have finally been able to bring myself to write.  Hobbie was an abandoned horse who found me only 3 years ago.  In that time Hobbie dug a big hole in my heart and nestled right in.  She was a fine pleasure harness horse, a bold trail horse, and a fairy tail mount for my wedding.  I miss her dearly.
