Horses!

Flicka... sorry this is out of order, but it's a pain to try to put her at the bottom of the post! Read on, and it will all become clear! :)

So, we are in the market for a horse! We found our "dream boarding stable" this weekend. It's a bit of a drive, but the price is right and the facilities are worth it! We checked out these two horses at Red Rock Ranch on Saturday. The paint is a 7 year old who is the perfect size, but hard to catch and a little too naughty... head-tossing and some ominous prancing around. The buckskin was a wonderful, well-trained 12 year old mare, but a bit tall and priced a bit high. The search continues!

Sophia on the paint gelding... he's fine when someone is leading him, but a bit sketchy under saddle for me!

The buckskin. Very sweet mare!

Me on the buckskin... she was a nice ride!

Sophia had a bit of a tantrum when we didn't leave with a horse! We are looking at a well-broke Quarterhorse/Arab named Flicka this coming Saturday. She's beautiful, but also spendy... we'll have to see if she's "the one!"
