Congratulations! Awesome group of horses they are beautiful. You will have such an awesome time with your new herd and your grandchildren.
Have you made any decisions on your farm name yet? Isn't it amazing how long a month can be while you will be waiting to get your new furkids home.

WOW, nice starter herd. It is so refreshing to see someone start off right. Knowing they are addicting and breeding is potentially in the future, it is so hard to see some buy quantity, not quality. Looks like you have a very nice selection. Best of Luck!!!

Wings is for me and hopefully CDE here we come. (my husband was drooling over him on the pc one evening
and all I said was MINE! ......................mine mine mine
LJ was the #7 I fell in love with. She is lovely
Merrilegs for my daughter-in-laws driving use
Luna, a great one for my granddaughters to learn on and as the oldest out grows her
it will be the right time that te youngest will be involved.
Doubloon, well I love her son Wings, I had hoped to do a repeat breeding but the new owner
of Wing's sire doesn't breed to outside mares, which I totally respect their choice.
But we'll find another stallion to get her bred to.

OH wow, didn't know you were on here
Hey, I won't lie, I was disappointed BUT I respect a person right do do with their horses, life and goals as they see fit.
I also understand bringing in outside mares is work and risk.
Who knows, maybe I can buy an Ace baby from you next year or the year after
Please keep me in mind when you're doing your 2012 and 2013 sales list.
I'd love to have a daughter of Ace's.

Just wanted to pop in and say thank you and congratulations to CJ. It has been a very difficult decision to let go of these beloved mares I have hand picked over the years. CJ just happened to contact me prior to putting up my new, New Years Ad - (Basically a dispersal of all but a couple of my under 34" mares = ( But being able to work with her in starting with a good foundation is making this transition easier. Her enthusiasm is inspiring and she is starting with sound stock and versatility in her new herd. Proven quality producing broodmares, a Res. Nat. Ch. driving horse, a young handsome, talented stallion, a top quality yearling filly... and someone who is willing to continue helping her even after the sale is complete. = ) I'm far from an expert, by any means, so I hope she continues to seek other's opinions to be "driven" with success. LOL LOL
Best Wishes,
Joanne

Let me tell you, Joanne was wonderful to work with.
Her Mini's clean, happy and healthy. The day before, I told her I'd be coming over the next morning.
Due to the mountain pass between us that afternoon I called to say I would not be coming,
My husband had concerns for me, not getting there but getting back. But I reassured him and off I went
(as I mentioned I also had other business to attend to over there) Well being from a cute little town whose polices officers and deputies DO NOT put up with anything (most likely due to small population and are able to)
the traffic over on the west side always throws me for a loop you'd think I'd know by now.
By time I got done with my last business and drove to Joannes area it was nearly 8 pm.
She didn't even sound annoyed and told me to come on over.
I did get into a little trouble when I got home lol
When I left and tried to call my husband at 10 pm I realized my cell battery died and I had no way to contact my husband.
At 12:30 am as I approached my place the lights were off and I figured he went to bed.
But as I pulled into the drive here comes my husband out on the front porch with "The LOOK'
I felt like a teen ager coming home hours after curfew
He had just been real concerned but he had been monitoring the mountain pass all evening on the computer and knew I could get back over as it was bare and dry. As a result we will be buying a car charger lol
Like I said earlier it's great when you can go buy good horses and icing on the cake when the person you're buying from is wonderful.
By the way when will that sweet poodle of yours be on your sales list? He is so precious.

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR PURCHASE! I must say I am on a "new horse high" as well - isn't it a great feeling?
Being that I am always "on the lookout" for new stock. . . .I get this from hubby atleast twice a week!

Goodness you're a curious person......................and pretty darn sly and smart too!!!
I was going to ask Joanne who you were and if she knew you next time I talked to her.
Thought maybe you knew her and she mentioned it.
