Confetti Kisses

Found this filly while looking for something else. Wasn't planning on this but when the right opportunity presents itself- 

She's 3 and while the photos don't show the true size she sticks right at 13.3h and is a little narrow at the moment. 

She's clearly jumpy and all kinds of spooky her first time in crossties. Lol 

This is one of the ad photos. From this one the only thing I could fault her on was the depth of heartgirth area. Personally she has a little more white than I like but that has nothing to do with her talent. 

She looks wider here and the seller was asking if I was still interested. Yes please! 

Well stacked from behind. Toes out a little but it could be from muscle tightness in the groin area.

The front end seems a little narrow but I'm super impressed with how the upper foreleg is muscled up. 

She also has a slightly blue eye on the left side and a blaze that was similar to Izzy's. 

Don't worry there will be plenty more photos and updates on Kisses. The farrier was just out and although she could use a trim, we will hold off for a bit and work with her to see how she's going to be for other things first. No need to rush things and freak her out early on. 

I still need to find her a better halter, matching lead, measure her for her temporary winter wardrobe, get her hay nets and sort things thru in general.  One day and it has already been a whirlwind.

Exciting news

Since having to withdraw from the show and my accounts not taking a hit I have decided to take a plunge and purchase a marathon carriage. So the accounts will be taking a bigger hit in a way. But it's an investment.... I keep telling myself that anyways. 

At least when we finally get the chance to hit up an HDT, a CDE or an ADS sanctioned pleasure show- we will have the proper equipment and be able to run with the big dogs. My friend has given me plenty of info and pointers of what to look for, look at and consider. I have looked at tons of carts, carriages, buggies and what not. Some caught my eye at first but when looking into them further and doing the research- I could see the things pointed out and why what works and what doesn't.  It's an investment. I keep telling myself this. 

It's an investment. And actually it is. I'm finally investing in me and investing in my pony. Investments always come with risks and this one is no different. I'm buying a carriage in hopes she turns out to be an awesome driving pony and goes to the top of the sport. From what I've seen her do- she should go far. And the investment will pay off in spades. At least that's the plan. Or what I'm hoping for.
