Tis true They do!!

WOOT WOOT! SO! New news. I have like 3 things today to yammer about!

So, I've been looking for a pony for Liz. I think I talked about our rather odd experience last time...crazy vibes, tell you what. Here was the post:
Anyhow, yes so Thurs. last I went out to see this lil Caspian. I was SO excited when I learned how unique they are, and as soon as we pulled up, I thought...okay...this is the one. He just is. I rode him and loved him, and...I was RIGHT =D Cause Sat. I went back with Liz and her family, and she just fell in love with him. He's so sweet. =) He's just mellow as can be, but a little leary of people just because he's not been worked with in a long time. His name is Zuphus Hehehe! I love it. It's so cute...just like him. He's not PERFECT conformationally, but he's sound in mind and body and the perfect size and temperment, and there's nothing like that we'll find anywhere else. He's almost blood bay, too. So cute and handsome. So Liz, she's SO quiet. She doesn't talk a lot and is really shy *though her Gma says that since she's been riding she's WAY more confident...she trotted on Roger even though she was scared to, and now she's so confident...and then she trotted all the way around the ring with Feliche. That night they went to Red Lobster and Liz...ordered for HERSELF They were so proud of her* and so I didn't know at first, though I felt...a softness and comfort around her and this pony that I didn't feel last time with those two others. Oh btw I also looked at Mabelline and she wasn't right at all...she could be a SUPER champ expensive reining horse, she's amazing, but not for anything like what we want. So anyway, Tami *owner* let Liz walk around with the pony after her ride to get to know him. I asked if she liked him, and she said yes. Better than Abra? Yes. Think maybe he's the one? *nods*. While she was keeping him company, the adults and I talked. Then Liz called Ali (her gma) over and was talking to her quietly. They came back and Ali announced Liz's plan...so that she might keep this pony, Liz *SEVEN years old, btw* is going to ask her Grandpa...for a LOAN Can you believe it?! A loan. I just love it, and admire her work ethic! She doesn't want to be handed anything.

Before we left, we went to say goodbye to Zooie. She gave him a hug around the neck and told him..."You're my favorite horse" Aww. So sweet...they're just made for each other. Now remember how Zoo is leary? Well...his eyes softened with Liz. He could feel the need and the love that she could give him. It was truly amazing.


Second item of business...Cross country and MY pony updates! We took Andre and Feliche XC schooling yesterday in AZ. Got up at 3(am), drove 6 hours, rode for four hours, and drove 6 hours back home. MEGA yawn. Sad news is, we couldn't go to the LCHA HJ show because it was the last weekend to school, and we couldn't go sat. because we HAVE to have an "insured trainer" and my friend Alexis from Tuscon and her trainer weren't coming until Sunday (show day). But it was worth it!!

Andre was SUCH a good boy. We only had 3 (4 if you include water, which isn't flagged at his level anyway) stops the whole day Cutie pie...he is NOT a dirty stopper either. He trusts me a good deal, and so when he isn't sure he SLOOWWSSSSS down like a frieght train =P But then, a little kiss kick cluck and he goes right over, the dear little guy He thinks he's about 9 hands, I swear. So then, I rode Feliche, and he was SO full of himself ;P Silly goose. He jumped EVERYTHING in sight, I swear. Even water. Water, which was a festering pool of muck because they're letting it try to re-bed it, which is really good I guess =) But it sucked off one of his shoes part way! I didn't know until the Mission jump. It's an adobe wall made to look like a Spanish Mission, with a little arched cubby with a candle inside. He came into it funny, jumped it with a chip, and CLANG...hits his feet, HARD. Wait, CLANG?? I trot him a sec and make sure he's okay, and then jump off and look at his feet. Yeeepp. Right front shoe, GONE. Lisa was like "did it come off in the water?" and I said "no I heard a clang!" and we looked...and couldn't find it! So I peeked in the hole...and there it was. Feliche has mad skills. The HORSESHOE almost made a RINGER around the candle!! ROFL!! LMAO it was the funniest thing, I swear!! Ahhh

Then Dante is good too =) He hasn't gone up on me in a long time, and today even though he was forward and I had more contact, he didn't get mad at me! I was very proud. He deserves a cookie or three! Tomorrow should be even better. We're trying fences now, but he likes to rush so I'm setting placement poles. So, handsome is good And I need to DL the pic of Andre letting me hold an Umbrella while riding

Thanks for reading! =D
