The School of Life with Horses

A blog covering my journey with my quarter horses and paint horse. Horse show news from the Pacific Northwest, to do lists, horse tips as I learn and share them, my struggles and solutions - basically everything horse as I come across it.

Stretch in the Raw

 Wednesday, June 17, 2009

So there are some people interested in Stretch - who have actually hadmore than one conversation with me! I'm excited! They sound like excellent homes with knowledgeable horse people. One person is local -who would use my trainer. One is really far away but really has the best interest of Stretch in mind, after a couple of conversations with her I am judging her to be a very honest, nice, lady.

Buying a horse from a distance is always tough so I sympathize with her.

Onefamily I am familiar with wants a consistent horse to keep her in theshow pen - she's had some ups and downs with horses, and health issues that have kept her from the show pen. I can also sympathize with her. 

So we'll see what happens. I really hope I can work something out with oneof them - they sound like awesome homes. One of the many things keeping from blogging.

Some shots I took to show people what Stretch looked like, minus tack and blankets.

Eeeeek! He's naked!




Here is he turned out - he said "Hi Mom! Pardon me if I don't stop eating...."

Patrick ran and hid again. See below - my mom's mare in the background and no Patrick.



Hereis again - gained a little weight - looking all stacked! Man I justlove the way he's built! Just wish his tail was longer (it got chewed by a horse in the stall next to him at the trainer's barn).



Me: "Seriously - Hold STILL this time!"



Stretch: "Fine.......can I have some more grass now?"



Stretch: "Remember - grass - I wanted more grass?..."

About inclined2ride

Live up in Northeastern Washington State - where its cold and we have snow for a loooooong time. Been riding horses since before I could walk - grew up doing the 4-H / FFA thing, and a lot of Open shows. Was educated in Western riding as well as English riding and Jumping. Survived college on Top Roman so that I could keep my horse up there with me. Am now all grown-up with a non-horse husband, and 3 horses to boot (technically 2 horses). I currently show on the local and regional Quarter Horse Circuit with a Paint Show thrown in when I can. Horses are as much a part of me as my arms or legs.
