Yaya! I'm so excited. Well. Here's the story.

So. My grandparents saw that there was a horse in the paper for $700. And they just like to go look at horses so they went to see her. She's a 5 year old registered black quarter horse mare. Black with white socks. When my mom first told me they might buy her I was a little skeptical seeing as how Sarge went living with them. Apparently she's really sweet. My grandad rode her so she mustn't be too awful because he sucks at riding. She was trained professional I think. But they don't ride her often. I think their grandkids rode her but now they aren't interested? I think. So that's the reason they're selling. They said she was a little skiddish which I'm fine with. I've always wanted a skiddish horse to desensitize. haha. They said her hooves needed a trim and they were cracked but that'll get fixed with regular trimmings, I'm sure.

Anyways. I totally wasn't expecting them to buy her. So on the way home from school today my mom said "I have some exciting news" and I was like "what?" cause I really wasn't sure what she could be talking about. And then she said "they are buying the horse" and I was just like "wow". hah. Apparently my grandad told my granny that if when she called they would sell her for $500 then they would buy. So she called and apparently the owners had said that they would sell her to them for $500. So it's like perfect! So now all we have to do is get her in the trailer and get her home. But wow, this is so cool. I have another horse to work with! I'm so excited. I already have plans of what I'm going to do with her. hehe.

Her registered name is Shotgun Shyeva or something like that. They call her Eva but I don't like that. I want to call her Shyanne. Sounds like a perfect name for a black horse. (:

Now my only problem is where to work with her. gr. We have no flat areas. But I'll find somewhere, I guess. I plan on just lunging her at first. Does that sound good?

Eek. And now I have to go horse shopping! hehe. Get all new tack for her. Hehe, what shall her color be? x3

heh. I've been meaning to update. Just forgot.

We got her yesterday. She's very pretty. Today I lunged her. She was wonderful. I could say more, but I'm too lazy. hah.

I'll post pictures as soon as I make myself put them on photobucket. har. She's purdy though. (:

And I guess her color is pink. Went to the tack shop today to get her a halter. And I was drawn to this lovely pink and brown plaid halter. heh. Got her a matching lead rope too. She looks steller. (:

I'm sure this is the most random and obscure thing, but I'm like in love with that halter. I so want a horse. My friend has 5. A quarab and 4 minis. *is jealous of you all*
