I just bought my very first horse.

[amastrike]

Yup :yes:. Wrote up a bill of sale and the owner and I signed it yesterday. I bought my crippled useless little Momma's boy who's completely and utterly spoiled rotten. He sold for a handsome sum--$1. Which is more than the BO paid for him :lol:.

What a cutie. So... is he just a pasture ornament? Or is he rideable? :)

[starrysky]

Yay! Congratulations :D

[amastrike]

He mostly just stands around and looks pretty (which he's very good at), but I occasionally hop on him and walk around a bit.

And I wasn't informed of this because.... ? :)

[amastrike]

Haha, sorry.. With the whole mess with Irish, I wanted to make sure Wilson wasn't going anywhere, and BO agreed.. so at least one matter is settled.

[Katie-Nicole]

Well, I had asked if you had died and you didn't respond...

[DressageGeek "Ribbon Ho"]

CONGRATS!!!

And he so has a look of my Ted...what's his breeding?

[maunder]

He's LOVELY! Congratulations!:yes:

[amastrike]

LOL, sorry, Katie. It's been hectic.

Here's his pedigree: http://www.pedigreequery.com/imafavoritetrick

He won over $100,000 on the track (the info on PedigreeQuery isn't up to date) and he set a track record that's still standing. And now he's crippled and useless.

Wait, wasn't it you who was going to buy that chestnut mare who went missing? What happened with that?

Yes, that was me. I don't know what's happening. But I wanted to buy my baby before it was too late.

[cloudyandcallie]

What happened to the chestnut mare?
Did she get saved?
Did she got to Canada?:eek:
Katie-Nicole, any word?

She's on her way home. :)

Hey ! I have one of those lawn ornament thingy's too ! Got mine for the same price. Sometimes it just seems like the right thing to do when a horse is out of options. Join the Bleeding Hearts Club!

[iloverocky]

Congrats on your very handsome, extremely expensive for a $1 purchase price motorless lawn mower!

[DressageGeek "Ribbon Ho"]

Well, not much overlap till the fifth generation back - Nasrullah and Native Dancer.

But oh, he's pretty!!!

[Mendin Fences]

He is beautiful! I think he should be a horse model for halters or sheets or something.

[jengersnap]

A buck doesn't get you much these days, but I think you got a lot of love for your dollar. Congratulations, and thanks for giving a fella down on his luck a home. I bet he'd love to learn something like clicker training with you. :)

[snkstacres]

Crippled maybe, but useless, never. Even a pet horse is fulfilling a purpose. My guys are everything from ride on lawnmowers, weedeaters, tree trimmers, babysitters, guard horses, emotional therapy instructors, feed tub cleaners, grain vacuum cleaners, hay picker uppers, but useless, NOT A CHANCE. Thankyou for giving this wonderful guy a home and heres hoping the chestnut is also returned to you and katie nicole.

[YankeeLawyer]

He is a handsome boy! He looks like one of those grand TBs in a painting.

Congratulations!

[4whitefeet]

He's not useless.:winkgrin: Pasture Maintenance Engineering is a very time consuming occupation. I think he is just right for the job, and good looking to boot. :lol:

[cloudyandcallie]

And I wasn't informed of this because.... ? :)

Well, I had asked if you had died and you didn't respond...

And now the new thread where the dealer still has the horse. :confused:

[Trevelyan96]

Amastrike, he's quite the handsome boy! Congratulations!

I have a lawn ornament too. Darn good looking useless one! Not because he's crippled, just becaue he's 'speshul' :lol::lol:

My cats and kids and DH are all 'speshul' too! :lol::lol:

Me though, I'm just nuts. They are waiting for me to wander off one day when the dementia sets in. :D:cool:

[AppendixQHLover]

He is an accessory lawn ornment. His job is to make sure none of the grass gets higher than 2". that is a very serious job...

[arabhorse2]

No, no, no! He's a Pasture Maintenance Engineer. ;)

I gots one'a them myself.

Mine is also the official companion of my wing-nut riding horse. I need to think up a fancy sounding title for that, but my imagination ran off somewhere.... :lol:

[Sunsets]

Equine life coach?

Performance horse consort?

[Guin]

He doesn't look crippled in that first photo! What renders him unrideable? Could you teach him to drive? He's lovely.

[KnKShowmom]

[QUOTE=arabhorse2;4240585]No, no, no! He's a Pasture Maintenance Engineer. ;)QUOTE]

That gives you the title of PMS - Pasture Maintenance Supervisor!

Remember, a horse is only useless if no one wants him!

Congrats, he's a cutie!

[amastrike]

He has a bum knee (arthritis). Thankfully, he can't read x-rays, so HE doesn't know he's crippled :lol:. He's not entirely unrideable, just mostly. Every once in a while I hop on him and we walk around a bit and maybe try a wee bit of trot. I would not want to be in a cart pulled by this horse, he's a bit.. ah.. frisky. I mostly just look at him and tell him how pretty he is and clip fun shapes into his hair. Currently, he has hearts on his butt :D.

My dad came out today to do a Coggins and give him vaccinations. His verdict is "he's kind of a nice horse." Which is VERY high praise from my dad, who isn't too big on horses :lol:. And he IS a nice horse--he's very sweet and loving and cuddly. It's a shame he's not sound.

[Drive NJ]

ER-hmmmm

He is actually a Kinetic Pasture Art. Adding sooo much to the view.

Enjoy

[SOTB]

Congrats! He's cute!

[TVOR]

Congratulations on your PME! He's beautiful but you already knew that:)

[amastrike]

Thanks, Jill :).
