Congrats on Tommy and its great you get to share him. My daughter wanted a horse forever and actually got a job at 15 doing dishes and leased her first horse that fall. It was the beginning of a Great relationship. She did actually have a way with horses and started to compete soon after....she did come in 10th in Ontario Paint Circuit. She worked her butt off paid for it all herself and has always felt that was the best way to start. She now has 2 horses of her own.
I just wanted to do a quick update on this! I bought my first horse on sunday and she will be coming this thurs. or fri. Unfortunately the owner of Tommy sold him so I didn't get to ride him at all other than for a month. I continued riding a different horse in lessons, and then finally got my own horse.
I'm extremely excited! Her name is Misti, and her registered name is Royal Mystique! I can post more details if anyone is interested!
Here's a few quick photos of her, and one of my holding the signed papers showing she's officially mine!
I'm glad things worked out for you. With a lot of heart felt prayers, dreams do come true.
Nice looking mare!
As for your original post....one thing i learned the hard way..... "usually somethi g for FREE.....doesn't end up free! You usually fave registration papers to pay for, well check and so on.)
If it were me I would make sure Misti has a clear coggins and a well check from YOUR veterinarian of your choice and a curent vaccination record. Just saying, I've seen beautiful animals end up with somethig wrong but on the short term and sight nothing seemed wrong. Protect your investments!! Remember NOTHING USUALLY IS FOR FREE .... if it is it is usually to good to be true.
