This month, we added a couple of new boarders and a pair of ponies for Mom and I.
First in were Lori's pair: Toby and Little Girl
Toby is a young paint colt. He was gelded shortly after he arrived.
Little Girl doesn't have a real name yet - someone special will get to name her after her birthday.She's a fine pony - palomino, and perfect for a certain little girl.
Toby and Little Girl have finished their quarantine period -and have been checked out by the vet and farrier, so now they have all their shots and nicely trimmed hooves. They're both well-behaved and live together in a small paddock by the race track.
Right at the end of the month, a neighbour let me know that he had a pony mare for sale. The original owner was too ill to keep her, so she was for sale at a great price. Princess came home - she walked with me along the side of the highway that night.
Princess is a 16 year old pony mare. She's 46" (11 2 hh) and broke to ride and drive. She's a little thin right now, but a real sweetie to handle.
Princess is for sale for $500. Mom would like to keep her, but we have a lot of horses here already.
Next came Spot (Spot My Dream). Mom bought Spot. He's a 2 year old stallion that thinks he should be top of the heap. Once he's out of quarantine (standard procedure for all new additions), we're going to let Sneakers teach him some manners.
Mom will see if she can register him as a Pony of the Americas (POA). If not, she'll check out the International Spotted Horse Registry and see if they'll register him. He's awfully cute and, as long as he's not near a mare in season, well behaved. He's broke to drive and was driven by a couple of young boys.
There are many other horses and ponies at the farm - some will be here as long as they're alive like Reba, S'Heir and Sneakers.
