Sweetie
#128
Sorrell mare. Star/Strip.
Appx. 18 yrs. old. Appx. 15.1 hands. This mare is very broke
and could be ridden by an intermediate rider. Sweet mare
that hasn't buddied up with any of the other horses yet.
Sweetie
(this is the mare's new name!) will be going to live in Arizona!
She will probably be going home next week! Her new Dad, Rick,
contacted me about Sweetie and we had been corresponding/talking
on the phone for the last week. Poor Rick must have thought I
was a bit controlling because of all the questions I ask all potential
new owners! HA! But, it didn't deter him one bit and Sweetie will
be going to a wonderful home with 5 acres that she can call home!
Thanks so much Rick. (Sweetie can't wait to meet her new dad!)
Update
1/23/00 - Just wanted to let you know what's going on with
Sweetie. She is doing
wonderful. She is going to have her feet worked
on Monday. We haven't ridden her as of
yet do to her needing her hoofs trimmed and she has no shoes.
But we have been walking her a lot and
trotting her (running us) in a sandy area.
She is soooooo good. We wormed her the day after we got her, didn't
see any
worms but just did it to make sure.
Her
and puppy (Josie a 7 month old black Lab) are doing ok, Josie
want to
play and run and Sweetie just looks at her like to say DUMB DOG...
She is doing good with eating I started her out
on Pinto Hay, That alfalfa the was turned
extra times before it was bailed, so its not a high grade of hay.
Will feed her this hay with some added bag feed till she gets
use to good feed again. Other then that
everything is about the same here. Well, you
all have a good day and I will talk to you all later. Rick and
Family.....
Update
7/2/00 - Well, ok it's been a while, but Sweetie and I are
doing great. We and I do mean
WE are trying to learn team penning, I don't think Sweetie has
been around steers, and you know how those little steers love
to eat horses (well
that's what Sweetie thinks) lol.. But we are doing ok -)
Sweetie
now had a room mate, Gumby. A 16 year old quarter horse I bought
from
a friend. The
two of them are doing ok together.... Sweetie needed a
friend and
Neil had to get rid of Gumby, so it all worked out good. Sweetie
is still a little skittish, but the two of us are also taking
riding lessons
together.
I'm
still using a hack on her as she does not take well to a bit.
Well, here is a picture taken with my Ex-wife and best friend
Rhonda with Sweetie, just before we went for a ride. That's about
all that's new here in
Hereford, Ariz... Rick
