So, over the last few months I've been watching mini baby postings, here and on Facebook. Early on, I literally fell head over heels in love with one boy. Then I reminded myself that I did not need anymore horses, my husband would divorce me if I even bring the subject up! LOL! Besides, this boy is mostly white with a black head and a couple of black patches. I have sworn to NOT buy a mostly white horse ever again.
I ultimately decided that there was one local to me breeder that I wanted to buy from if we could come to an agreement on price. I also decided that I wanted a boy, to be gelded as soon as possible. I do not need nor want a stallion. I have no place to keep a stallion separate for very long at all AND I don't want to breed my horses. The idea is to give me a halter horse in another class that isn't direct competition or ultimately end up in the same class as my silver bay.
Little by little, the idea of another horse has been swirling around my head, despite my best efforts to push those ideas OUT. The beginnings of plan started forming instead. After convincing myself that the black and white colt was not a good choice for my plans, I kept watch out for more foals being born. Sure enough it wasn't long before I saw a couple of buckskin and a couple of palomino boys that took my breath away.
I've even figured out how to pay for my new boy. This girl needs to lose weight. And she needs to stop spending money so easily. I'm not bad (i.e., I don't have 50 pair of shoes and dozens of purses) but I could tighten the belt better. So, I'm challenging myself to stop the spending AND stop grabbing lunch or dinner out once or so a week. Every time I have the opportunity to do so and don't, that money will go into the COLT FUND.
Now, I've met those boys in person. And there is one who I cannot stop thinking about. I've sort of already given him a barn name. I guess I should tell his breeder to see what she thinks
