Lemme guess, impulse buy at horsey store? SAHRABs horse obviously wasn't an 'ole Amish plug-horse
No
it wasnt an impulse buy, there was a (little) thought that went into it.
After losing Tonk to twist, we ended up finding Deuce (AKA Douche
) from a buddy who Farriers at La Grange Stables in Virginia.
A bunch of us (Me, MyLilPony, Plumloco, GoldenHorse, Wes, and a Bud from VA) all went and checked him out on Saturday.
Was told he was a lesson horse, but that the kids were intimidated by his size (which of course apealed to me).
Although we found that he was REALLY GREEN, he most likely never been out of the Ring, and he wouldnt Lope/Canter. The owner told me "He's a draft they only Walk & Trot, none of that Canter crap"
he's obviously never seen Moe on a trail ride. Slept on it Saturday, and ended up picking him up Sunday.
My first horse Zeus (who i had no business being on) was as green as him, with a similiar attitude (wants to learn but i didnt have a clue). thankfully now i have more confidence (or is that lack of sense?) with this crazy horse riding idea.
He's a tad smaller than Moe (for those that know him) in height but otherwise built similar, except he's a (i think) Dark Bay,(others think he's a faded black) with white around his coronet bands on his rear feet. AND HE HAS A TAIL!
We'll be there Sunday, ya'll can have fun watching me try to keep this beast from bolting every time the wind blows a leaf off the trees
