On a Roll

Ah late summer... the birds are singing in the trees....
No, the damn magpies and blue jays are fledging their chicks and they won't shut up at 6:30 in the morning!!! Gak.

Sigh, ok, I'm all better.

It appears the horse market is making a come back in Alberta!  Within the last month, I've sold 3 of my 5 sales horses!  Today I will say goodbye to my good friend Khori, BG Khorina.  Khori is a BEAUTIFUL grey purebred Arab mare, 6 years old.  As a child, I always said I wanted a purebred dapple grey Arab mare.  Well she's sat with me for the last 5 years doing little to nothing.  I had her started under saddle with the incredible Katelyn Carter as a 3 year old. You can check for the video on youtube, search BG Khorina.  ...WOW!!!

I bought this princess horse to be my SPORT HORSE/DRESSAG champion!  Her father is phenomenal, talented on all levels and the sweetest disposition!  Her mother is 16 shades of BEAUTIFUL and so light and responsive.  Unfortunately Khori only grew to 14.2 hh and developed movement much more suited to western or hunter pleasure. 

So, my loss is Cathy's gain! 

When I met this lady, I thought "PERFECT!!"  Cathy used to breed Arabs but stepped away from the equine world for a few years.  She called me explaining that she wanted some horsie therapy again, wanted a dependable friend who she could enjoy to the ends of the earth.  Yep, that's Khori.  They seemed so comfortable with eachother when Cathy came to meet her.  It was the right match. 

So now I'll go get dressed as the rest of the famly sleeps, load the good girl into the trailer and deliver her to Beaumont area and have the pleasure of bringing extreme joy to a lady's life.  That is the true gift right there! 

Best wishes!!!
