Do you keep this kind of list?

Not really. I have a NOW list. LOL

I would really love to have an International quality warmblood that I could compete at USDF recognized shows.

BUT, since that is really unlikely that I can afford what I WANT, I think I'll probably look for a really nice quality TB to event with.... at least for a few years

I would love to have my last sucessful show mare back. I had to sell her because she couldnt jump and she was the greatest western pleasure mare. I know the general area of where she went (a small town) so I would put up fliers and ask around lol.

My trainers stallion is wonderful and I would love to have many of his foals but there are 2 in particular I would buy in a heartbeat if I could. Unfortunately, one of these two was sadly put down after being struck by lightning in a field (she was in a herd and they were bringing in the horses when it happened). I knew her since she was born. The other is an 8 year old paint gelding. Normally I dont like paints or blue eyes but this guy just stole my heart. I have known him since he was 6 months old and was sooo close to having him. At the time I was doing horse camp and he and another horse were for sale. I had begged for ages for a horse and my mom almost bought them both for us until her ex talked her out of it saying we didnt have enough property for two horses ( He had 8 acres...) but then proceeded to try and convince her to let him get 15+ cattle to raise.... (He and I never got along well..)

Unfortunately they decided to keep him after that and he became my trainers husband's horse and then he got too tall for his tastes and was sold as a 4 year old. My mom married my step and he helped us with getting horses etc (we actually got horses long before he was married, about a month after they started dating we got our first). Well about the time I was looking for a new horse because my old one couldnt jump... he went up for sale again and sold without me even knowing it.. All I remember is coming out to the barn for a lesson and he was there. I thought he was back for training since she trained him on occasion then my trainer told me he had been bought by one of her students...

This particular student goes through horses like tissue because of her unwillingness to practice and bad temper so I figured this one would be the same. But since her parents payed so much for this one and they finally realized its their daughter and not the horses... they arent selling him. So was heartbroke for a long time, watching her ride him and throw temper tantrums and blame him, while I struggled with horses that reared, bucked, flipped over on me and bolted. Then I got Bon and kinda was able to let it go, because Bon is just as much my dream horse as that gelding is. I would still buy him in a heartbeat if I could but I could never give up Bon and if it came down to choosing, Bon would be first.

Oh I would buy back my first gelding from my trainer but I fear I would break too many hearts by doing that. There are lots of people out at the barn who have offered to buy him and love him to death even though he is in his 20's. I know my trainer will keep him safe and happy to the best of her ability until the end of his days. I also have first refusal on him if she ever is forced to sell him.

Well, there's the fantasy list for when I win the Powerball and buy my own place, and can spend all my time riding instead of working.

Then there's reality

I would like to buy a nice young warmblood several years down the line, when I need to start thinking about retiring Obie. I'm partial to Oldenburgs, but I also wouldn't mind a pinto or sabino American WB. Of course, I would also love to buy a baby from True Colours Farm, so a TB isn't out of the question, either.
