Bought A New Horse! **Photos Added**

[lupinfarm]

I went to look at a 15.2hh QH/Friesan Cross mare today, she's a palomino, 4 years old, has been broke to ride but hasn't been ridden since the winter so will need restarting. She is GORGEOUS, well mannered, picks up her feet, is good for farrier and vet and she's so calm and sweet. They wanted $750 for her, it's coming up for the end of the year, slow season, and they're downsizing the herd (they're all pets LOL, like us, but they also have 150 sheep and 40 cows).

Well, we bought her! Her name is Miley and hopefully she should be coming home on Friday, we put a deposit on her and the lady has found trailering for us for $50.00, can't wait! I won't be doing any training with her until the spring because its so wet out right now, but we'll throw a bridle and saddle on her every now and then and I'll lunge her to keep her in shape.

Now I have to buy her a saddle and bridle!

These are the photos that were on her Kijiji ad, she's actually dappled and does have some dark markings on her legs that, if she had a dark mane and tail and more dark markings, would make her able to be called a buckskin.

Congratulations on your new horse. You will have to post pictures!

I so will, I was going to post some today, but then I remember the woman we're buying her from said she'd take the ad down and by the time we got home, she had.

She's coming Friday afternoon

Omg, speaking of horses... About 6 years ago we were sued after a woman rode a horse we were selling, fell off, and broke her leg. Her fault the whole thing. ANYWAY, we ended up selling the horse anyway to a farrier and knew the name of the place he owned/lived but not location. I was casually browsing the internet today and decided to look up the hunt club that he owned, and there it was.... 20km from my house in CAMPBELLFORD. What the heck?!

We're going to drive by on the way to getting gates for the horse pasture to see if they still have Gee

Wow, I guess nowadays you have to film everything just in case. And have them sign a release. Sheesh.

Enjoy your new girl, she sounds like fun!

Hey ! What a beauty ! Congratulations !!! Love her colour... We bought all three of our horses off KIJIJI also....and we still keep in touch with two of the previous owners ...

About getting sued...I dont understand some people ...A horse is a horse...it could be fully trained to the max and still have a "bad" day ....just as a human could be trained to the max in riding a horse AND how to stay on AND still have a bad day ...

Well Happy trails !

What a beautiful horse! And a great price too! Has she been started under saddle yet? We have a two year old that we'll be starting over the next year. Sounds like you'll have fun with her! Can't wait to see new pics of her in her new home!

She was started under saddle over the winter by her farrier, western. I'm currently looking at getting her a saddle. We've been looking at a Bighorn with Haflinger Bars but my tack shop assures me they can also order a draft size too (not that I think she'll need it, the same saddle fit a pair of obese Canadians LOL). I'm going to be buying her saddle pad/s this weekend and a bridle (she wears a snaffle too, so I guess a bit lol).

The farrier hopefully will be starting her back up since he backed and broke her to begin with.
