Lance Sold

I only walked one round today. Diane helped load Zalena by shutting the trailer door after Zalena walked in and we were on our way to Hoerr Vet clinic getting there 3 minutes late. Our appointment was at 8:30 am but I had to spend a couple minutes cleaning the heavy frost off the windows of the truck and didn't have a good scraper. I finally drove up to the house and grabbed the one out of the car. Dr. Hoerr was waiting for me when I arrived. Today Zalena got her teeth floated and was de-wormed.

From there I drove to Kroger to pick up food for the Berean meal.  I tried a new recipe and then tried it out on Mark tonight for supper. He liked it! Joan invited us all over for games tonight at her house. Sean's parents came down from Wisconsin to spend the night so there was a houseful of people. So many we had 2 games going the entire evening.

I was going through some old pictures and came across this picture of Blaze and Rhoda. She is about 2 years old in this picture. My parents bought Blaze for us kids when I was 13 years old. 

Dad took his dad (grandpa Meister) with him and grandpa knew his horses. He told dad, "this is a GOOD horse!"  Well we found out that the price of Blaze was quite a bit more than we could afford Dad looked at Blaze and then offered $125.00 for him. The farmer told him, "No" and that was the end of it or so we thought.  A few days later the farmer called dad and told him, he would take the $125.00. We brought Blaze home and he lived teaching young children everywhere for the next 38 years finally passing away at the age of 41.

Rhoda went from that horse crazy toddler to an amazing trainer. Below she is training Darling, a Haflinger we rescued. 

Well I say rescued as we got a call from a man from Canton, IL telling us that his neighbor has this horse he is going to shoot if someone doesn't take it NOW! We drove to Canton and yes she was beautiful but she was no saint. She would not be caught and would consistently turn her rear end at a person threatening to kick.  By the time Rhoda was done with her she was just about perfect.  

Yesterday the deposit came for Lance, Sheena's colt by Valiant. The buyer is coming on Wednesday to meet him and is pretty thrilled. 

Sheena and Valiant have gorgeous tall foals. We kept the only filly Sheena had by Valiant which is named Skye and Skye will be 3 years old this year and bred to Evan. Skye is already WELL over 16 hands. She will also be started undersaddle this year. Skye is pictured below at age 2.

And now there are just 2 colts left from 2019 still for sale. If I would have guessed which foals would still be for sale it would not be these two. Both are WAY better quality than the price we are asking. Josiah is 75% Friesian 25 % Thoroughbred, has amazing movement, will be tall and have lots of hair AND we are only asking $4500.00

His mind is as beautiful as his movement. He really is that special. The only other foal still available is Joshua, our Warlander colt. It is EXTREMELY rare to get a BLACK Warlander so we were really pleased when Madiera gave birth to him. Both the Andalusian breed and the Friesian breed are people loving horses, easy to train and Joshua will be exactly that. He likes people and wants to please. He also inherited the mega hair from both his sire Evan and his dam Madiera. His tail is so thick, long and bushy it will be dragging on the ground when he is full grown and his mane hangs on both sides of his neck.

 We are only asking $5000.00 for him.

Both Josiah and Joshua are registered, papers are in hand, both have a current coggins so these boys are more than ready for their new homes.
