Re: [RC] [CTR] Well... darnit... I bought a horse. - Sky Ranch

How about Ember?  You already have Flame, so Ember would fit right in!
Really would fit if he's a chestnut / sorrel.  Good luck with him, I hope
you find reasonable shipping for him.

Hi, everyone!

Well, guess what: I bought a horse. Guess what else: He's in Pennsylvania,

and

I'm in Colorado. It's a good story, though, so read on.

I've been working for two years with a horse named Bobby. He was reputedly
crazy and dangerous, but I just couldn't believe such a thing of a horse

that

licked my hands like a dog. It was obviously a pain response, but it took
months to figure out that his hips were locking and causing his hind legs

to

fall out from under him, and that the bucking we'd heard about was his way

of

trying not to collapse. After I got that puzzle piece, I finally got
permission to ride him. Now he's doing very well and, despite having
narcolepsy and chiropractic problems, back to work on the flat and

preparing

to return to low jumps. Just yesterday, he got his first adoption

application

in two years.

Now here's the kicker. Also yesterday, a horse by the same sire showed up

on a

forum I visit, desperately needing a home. The new horse's name is Embrace
Reality; Bobby's registered name is Payne Realty. Embrace Reality would

have

been sent to a meat auction at New Holland tomorrow if I hadn't done

something

about it. So, for the princely sum of $350, I seem to have purchased

myself a

three year old former racehorse in Pennsylvania.

Shipping's the only problem. Anyone going this way in the next month or so

who

might take him part of the way for a fee?

Jelena Woehr, Flame, and (newly) Embrace Reality (he needs a barn name,

any

ideas?)
