If you're crazy when you get 3, then what are you when you get 7?

If you're 'crazy' when you acquire 3 horses, then what are you when you acquire 7 horses?

That's right, we just might be getting out 7th horse next week of so.

A family friend has offered to give my Uncle Man (Willie, not David) a small, 14/14.2 hand black Arabian mare (I think it was a mare)... Supposedly, the mare if child safe, and Man wants to get it for his three grandkids, who are 5 and younger (the 5 year old has been wanting a horse for two years).

The Arabian isn't in the best shape right now, because her (?) owner doesn't brush her or anything; he's got 2 other horses. Man said she was thin, her mane and tail matted, and she's supposed to have sores all up and down her flanks from either fighting with the other horses or just scabs or something.

Either way, I am hoping we get the horse. She doesn't have a name, I don't think... her owner just calls her 'Horse'. More 'n' likely, if Man gets her, 'Horse' will stick to her as a name... (he's got a dog named 'Dog Dog'... lol...)

But I hope we get her. I don't even know what she looks like, other then she's black...

Aww, it sounds like this girl needs a good home. She just might be a diamond in the rough. Let us know if you get her!

Will do!

I'm really hoping that Man will decide to get her... even though we really don't 'need' another horse... lol. It's his decision though. I hope he gets her! He was talking about taking a trailer down and picking her up next week this morning on the way to church.

The only thing I don't think I will like about her is her height (if she in indeed only 14/14.1 hands... I feel like i'm riding a midget when I ride any horse under 14.3 hands...

Oh lordy-gosh... I can't tell... ^^

1 and 3 look shorter, but that may be because of the riders... lol... long legs make things seem shorter than they are...

5 looksa average, as does 4...

and

2 and 6 look a little taller

((sorry, i'm in a hurry, school starts in like, 2 minutes! YEEP!))
