I have placed an ad on our local buy and sell site. Hopefully I get a perfect match. Kupid is still doing just fine alone though.

Good morning everyone. 
I think I found My new horse and Kupid a new buddy. His name is Toby and he is a paint, 20 years old this coming May. Has a bit of arthritis but fine when not ridden.
. I go see him on Saturday. He is at a stable. His owner can no longer afford the board fees so replied to my ad. I really hope Toby is the one.

I was out there to see Toby. I am buying him.
He is a real good boy. Gets delivered in a couple of weeks.

He's cute! Is he sound for riding?

Yes. He actually is sound enough for trail riding at a walk. Short trips out. He might require pain meds if his leg begins to cause him problems. I really like him. He is a gentle boy.

He is a pretty paint. He should be ok for light riding.

With arthritis it helps to be moving. Maybe you could ride him a bit daily, or take him for walks so he doesn't do too much standing around.
Of course maybe he and Kupid will keep each other reasonably active. Is it your plan to keep them together eventually after they've gotten acquainted?

Yes. They will be together after a week of visiting through the fence. My property is all hills so they get a workout walking.

I was hoping that Toby would be delivered this weekend. The temperature is dropping to over night lows of -28C and daytime highs-18C. Not sure if any of us want to be outside messing around with horses in weather like that? 
I have garbage bags filled with leaves and I have been dumping leaves for my goats. They eat them like potato chips...
I seen in my hatchery catalog that they have Golden Laced Cochin Bantam for sale this year
. I think I need some of those..
My puppies are growing up and very busy little puppies. I take the dogs out daily to play ball and tire them out!
