Ridiculous Superstition











I have come to the realization that keeping things from the internet, such as not posting anything about any available equines, is just a ridiculous superstition. You see, every time I post something I want up here - houses, horses, and the like - They are sold quite quickly and we don't get the chance to try for them. But this is all a matter of chance. It would've happened even if I didn't post about it. Soooo - here is my new target.

As you can see, the horse pictured above is gorgeous. Simply fantastic. He is pictured during different points of his training - desensitizing, riding, and leading. Actually, to be exact, he has never been ridden, only sat on. He has been led with a mannequin on his back, and has had people sit on him, but no actual riding. Which is more spectacular than you might think, at least for me, anyway. You see, to keep my interest in riding, for me I need to feel sort of obligated to do it. With this horse, I would need to ride to finish his training. He naturally jumps 4 feet easily, which is really good considering he was never trained particularly for jumping. He is like Theodore O'Connor, he is the same size, and jumps very well. 14.1 hands high, the perfect height. He is a mustang with a whole lot of Spanish influence, as you can tell by the pictures. It's obvious. His ad says he can canter at the pace of a normal horse's walk! This shows great collection, and also he has a nice smooth gait, something my current horse is definitely lacking in.

Now for the price...only $500!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe it? Unheard of amazing. His name is Riley O'Connor, obviously named for his role model, Teddy O'Connor. I guess it's an OK name. Better than Elmer.

Everybody, keep your fingers crossed for me, that this post doesn't ruin my chances of getting him...bye now!

*sigh* Sorry about the horse's head that is cut off in the one picture...not literally cut off of course...Just, sorry, I couldn't fix it...
