Cross your fingers for me!!

I am so happy! Someone is finally interested in buying my gelding! I have had him up for sale for about 3 months now, and I finally have someone who wants to come see him.
Here's the history with my boy:
I 'rescued' Dallas about 4 months ago. He was 200lbs underweight, hooves hadn't been trimmed in 3-4 months, and he was just in terrible shape. The girl that owned him didn't even own a hoofpick

. He was fed 3 giant scoops of sweet feed once a day, no hay at all, and lived on a 3/4 acre pasture with another horse (who's owners boarded it there and was fat and healthy).
He's an ex-barrel racer and 4-H horse, with awesome bloodlines. We bought him for $600. We brought him home, got his hooves and teeth done, and he started packing on the pounds. I started riding him, and I soon found out that he just wasn't the horse for me. We didn't "click", and when we live on a property where I can have only 2 horses, I didn't think it was fair for me or Dallas to have to put up with each other when he could find someone who really, really loved him.
FINALLY, someone called the other day. The woman interested lives on 60 acres, has 5 ponies and a stallion, and it sounds like heaven for Dallas. She is familiar with rescue horses, and sounded really interested in my boy. She is coming out on Sunday to look at him. I am so happy, I really hope she likes him! Everyone, keep your fingers crossed for me!!

Thanks everyone! Now it's just a matter of waiting until Sunday

.

Does anyone have any suggestions to get him all cleaned up for his "big day"? I was going to give him a bath and clip his muzzle/around his eyes. Is there anything else I should do?

Good luck! And I hope you find a horse you do click with!
