I just won a horse! Photos added, Post 38

Aw I want to see pics!

There is a yearly paint horse raffle which I always eye off. Last year it was a medicine hat though, which I don't really like - and knowing my luck it would be the year I won haha

Did you have to prove in any way etc that you are horsey (to either enter or pick up the 'prize'?) Just wondering if there was anything to stop a totally non-horsey person winning a young horse. I'd be far too afraid to give up a foal/any horse for a raffle as I wouldn't have control over who took them home...

If you don't have pics yet, can you at least tell us her colour etc? Does she have a name?

Mia, no, they didn't really ask me anything... I did tell them I had a horse, and that I had a horse trailer so I didn't need her transported. They basically just called and said, "hey, you won this horse... can you come down today and pick her up?" I did tell my husband though, that it was a good thing that it ended up being an experienced horse person getting the horse. Could have been anyone that ended up with her.

Her registered name is Tiny Echo. I am thinking I'll either call her Tina or Echo. They were calling her Tiny, but I want her to grow, lol.

I promise that there will be pics tomorrow!

Okay, thank you. Sounds very cool but not something I'd ever let happen to one of my horses, personally.

I like Echo! I think that sounds nice...

Yay, can't wait to see photos!
