AHHHH!!!!

Sorry I havn't been posting in a while. I ended up really starting the search for a new horse 2 weeks ago. It was over in 3 days. I ended up looking at a few horses on Rememberance day, and my friend made a phone call to one of her friends that deals in AQHA horses whom she thought would know more about what was available. Anyways he had a 9yo in his barn, that the owner lost intrest in and that she had decided to finaly sell for whatever she could get for him. So I went over and tried him out, and he was perfect!! Easy to ride, quiet and more than enough quality for what I need! Sooo what did I end up buying??

A 16.1 hh HUS gelding, named 'Love The Luke'. Hes a full brother to 'Stonecold Luke' (Congress Champion), and he also has a full 4yo brother that Tena Kaven is showing. Lucas has two Top Ten placings from Congress, and has shown all over the US and Canada. He needs a little pampering, and special care but even if he can keep me on horse back for another year or two he will be well worth the money. Not exactly the WP horse I was looking for, but my boots are more at home in an english saddle!

The funny thing is that while some people are very happy for me, some others are more than a little dissapointed that I will be returning to the AQHA show ring, with a quality horse. Oh well they just better step up the game!

I got him home on Friday rode him yesterday, where I stayed on his back while my sturip broke, and the skill saw and hammer were making room for more horses. I lunged him this morning more to get him loosned up than for anything else. He needed some weight on, and he needs to get into a good program but he should be more than ready for the show season by this spring.
