What does this buy?
How about...
or...
or how about this cutie?
If this doesn't sell you, I saddled up my (!) 26 year old mare, put Cavallo Simple Boots on her front feet, and rode my girl for the first time in about 10 years. 20 minutes of walking, circles, and serpentines, and about 30 seconds of jogging...the most sit-able trot I've ever felt. After good supplements, months of turnout, and *very* light work, I think I'm going to have a very nice trail horse on my hands. I couldn't believe, after all these years, how soft and responsive she was, moving her ribcage over when I asked, bending, and did I mention responsive.
I'm pretty sure I just got the deal of a lifetime, and that was the best dollar I ever spent. Especially because her barn (whom her scum owner signed her over to) donated that dollar back to her care. That's one dollar bill that won't be spent. Everyone should have a Chamie in their lives. I'm someone lucky enough to have her twice, and she's not going anywhere ever again without me.
I've won the horse lottery, you guys. My dream thoroughbred and my angel, saintly first horse...pinch me. Hard.

Congrats! That's a dollar well spent!
ReplyDeleteI think you just got MAJOR interest in the form of horse-love for that dollar! Probably the best investment you'll find in today's economy. Love only ever seems to grow exponentially ; )
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a dollar well spent. Chamie is adorable, and I'm sure she's glad to be back with you again!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you!! I still have my first horse (he's 25!) and I think this is an amazing story... both for you AND for sweet Chamie. May you make many happy memories!
ReplyDeleteYeah, BABY!!!!! I love this story! Definitely a dollar well spent. xoxoxoxoxo from Bar, Lena and me.
ReplyDeleteWonderful!!
ReplyDeleteThanks to everyone, honestly. Does she not have the most honest face, the most trusting eyes? She is the best. Miles is going to be smitten instantly, I know it:)
ReplyDeleteWow! What a awesome halter and only for 1 dollar.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you got to have such a nice ride on her.
She is adorable.
Oh she is JUST beautiful!!!!!!!! I love the pink on her and she seems to wear it proudly. I'm sure she is so happy to be carrying you around, having care/love, and now a little job. So awesome!!!! She's worth a million of those dollars ;)
ReplyDeleteMarvelous. :-)

All happy thoughts here.
Even if you were dreaming, there's no way I'd wake you up from this one. Congratulations, and (if you don't mind me saying so...) money well spent!
ReplyDeleteYou're awesome to take back your first horse. And what a happy girl she is.
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you!!!
