So this is why i havent been around much guys. i recently purchased a horse. Not the best idea i've ever had but i went to New holland Auction(one of the top slaughterbound auctions east of the mississippi) So anyway i went with a friend and while we were there i fell in love with two horses the first was a 2 yr old thoroughbred filly right from the track with a severe case of rain rot but in generally good health. she went for way to much money so she wasn't an option the second was a 14.2 h.h pony that went through with 4 other horses 3 other mares and a "Gelding". All the Mares were heavy in foal but i for some reason really liked her. She had an appy blanket and was a liver chestnut color. She had a really kind eye as well. She too went way to high for me to try to buy but unfortunantly she went to a kill buyer but then thursday i got a call from a friend who owns a horse rescue and she said that the mare had been purchased by a broker who was putting her up for resale until monday when she would leave for canada. So after 2 long days of fund raising she is safe and is bound for the rescue i am boarding her at on monday. I am SO excited to have saved this mare from a very unfortunate end. Hopefully we will also find out tomorrow when she is due to foal since that will be a complete and utter surprise. so anyway i just wanted to let you know about her and why i'll be a little more distant in the next few weeks.
