A New Addition To Our Equine Herd

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

Yesterday Fredi and I went to pick up our new 12 year old horse Redford.  He is a beautiful Appendix Quarter Horse.  I guess there was some miscommunication on my part because his owners were not home.  Hopefully I get it straightened out and we bring him home by Wednesday.   Redford has been a bit of a pasture ornament for the last four years so he is desperately in need of training.  But, the lovely people who have had him are just wonderful animal lovers and he has been taken care of exceptionally well.  I do like to retrain horse’s who have been sitting in a pasture and give them a job.  His personality is very sweet, and he seems to have a good head on his shoulders.
