Hey everyone,
So I didn't get a mini after all. Things just worked out differently than I thought they would.
I GOT TWO.
Meet Aggie and Winston (1st and 2nd photos respectively)! Aggie was at a home to become a therapy horse, but didn't get along with the others, and needed a home. Winston came off the transport after being freed from the killpen in Oklahoma, and less than an hour after getting off the trailer, I knew he was the one. I was watching all the new minis that arrived, and watching them eat, when this little black and white mini walked away from his food and came to say high. He skipped the sniffing and usual 'get to know you stuff' and just wanted me to pet him. He put his head against my chest and let me scratch his itchy neck. I am over the moon with these two, and my happiness is indescribable. They move in tomorrow!
Thank you guys so much for all of your help. I can't wait to share my life with these minis.
