Diana, He wasn't a bottle fed baby just spoiled rotten here. There is a reason for it though. He came from an auction at Sweetwater several years ago. [Yes, I drove down all 19 hours and 19 back by myself with 2 kids]. I actually wasn't going to bid on him as he had an extremely severe club foot. Kim wanted him so bad and I wasn't going to listen to a kid for 19 hours on the way home "you didn't buy the one I wanted!" so I bought him. Being a farrier I knew I could fix him and we did. Took six months but he is 100% sound and even the vet can't tell which leg it was. I am so glad I bought him because I knew with that club foot any one else taking him would have ditched him and it would have been a death sentence for him. To me that is only one of the reasons he is so special and I told Karen anytime she doesn't want him he would have a permanent home here. I know Karen will take excellent care of him and he needs to be used, I hate seeing horses just sit in a yard and do nothing. I also know Karen has loved him since the first time she laid eyes on him a couple of years ago when Matt was showing him. Linda
