TOMMY!!!! I GOT ANOTHER HORSE! OMFG!!!!

[maggies_lens]

Not much time to write, I gotta try and contact somene at the paddock to let them know I just said yes to a free horse and will need to book a private yard! This is Tom, or Tommy as I'm already calling him. Friend just called me from Geelong, this little guy is only 3 years old, he's a QH X Arab X Percheron. His owner has run into financial difficulty and they are getting rid of their 3 horses. Their other 2 (including Tommy's dam, Arab x Percy) have been rehomed but no one has wanted Tom and he was to go to the market mid next week. Not reg'ed, unbroken, and not in the best condition I've ever seen a horse. No points for guessing where he'd end up!!! Rachel was really upset as she really likes this boy, says he's super friendly, just a clumsy dumb-ass colt. YES COLT! NOT GELDED! FARK!!!!! Getting my vet to come out and geld him next week the day after he arrives. Rachel can't afford another horse (she has 5), so I've stepped up. HOLY SHIT I HAVE ANOTHER HORSE!!!!! I reckon break him in and yeah, I'll have 3 HORSES to maintain! SHIT SHIT SHIT! But look at his FACE! How can you say no to this FACE?!?!?!?



Sorry, only photo I have at this stage. MORE SOON!!!

UPDATE: APRIL FOOLS, YA BUNCHA OF DAGS!!!!!

i read all this and i was like "wow she took on a project!"
and then read the bottom and was like...but it's not april fools here yet!
(which means it could be april fools there because you're def not int he US but still!)

[maggies-lens.livejournal.com]

It's def April Fools here in Australia :) Ahahahahaaaaa, I've had people calling me in a frenzy! I haven't had this good a responce in my RL since that time years ago when I told everyone to come down to the paddock and meet Detiny's foal. We'd had a rig at our paddocks that got thrown out 10 months previously for mounting mares and attacking people. God I worked so hard for 10 months to put the seeds in everyone's minds.... that Desi was getting fat, that her teats seemed a bit too swollen, that her hind end seemed saggy and she seemed out of sorts... gee it went down well.... that is still my crowning glory :D

[aeroflash.livejournal.com]

LOL. that is GREAT. I am not sly enough for april fools jokes, much less building one up for MONTHS!
major points to you

[maggies-lens.livejournal.com]

That one was just perfectly set up, and yeah it took a lot of work and patience, but MAN it was worth it :)

[phoenix-rose-up.livejournal.com]

[maggies-lens.livejournal.com]

[phoenix-rose-up.livejournal.com]

haha sorry it took me a while to get around to actually, ya know, posting it but its there now (as you have so really noticed lol)

[dawning-horizon.livejournal.com]

That's a pretty picture ;)

[maggies-lens.livejournal.com]

Yeah awesome shot isn;t it? :) Cute little horse tho. Get some groceries into him and let him grow up a bit more and he'll be a very handsome lad. Almost wish he really WAS mine for the fixing!

[ilikerivers.livejournal.com]

Haha. You are a dag for posting this.

I want to know if that horse is really that breeding. Where did you find his photo?

I just found a QH Arab Perch here:

scroll down to the 2mnd last pic; he's actually a draft X QH. What SORT of draft is anyone's guess but I reckon prob Clydie by the look of him. I'd love to actually get him but I do NOT have the time or money for another horse, let alone a 2yr old. Mind you they've broken him in already at 2 :( So that means I'd havet o turn him away for a good year or so to undo the damage breaking in that early would have caused. He's a handsome boy... and in Victoria! :D

Oh had a look at the link, hard to see coz it's sucha tiny pic but looks like a nice looking horsey. The Qh X Arab crosses are pretty common, see them a lot. Perchy's seem to be infiltrating more and more into the Victorian horse sence for pleasure riders. I think people are realising they are a bit smaller and actually calmer than Cyldies, and they blend VERY nicely with the other breeds, plus they are tough and do well on drought suffering paddocks. I'd love to have one one of these days, I totally fell in love with the one at Martin and Diana's wedding, he was soooooo sweet. Ofcourse I could breed a Perchy stallion over Desi and see what I get...*evil grin*

i LOVE quarabs. soooooo nice.

[ilikerivers.livejournal.com]

They have a clydie arab filly on that page you linked! It's a baby Mocha. :D :D WANT.

No more horses for the Purr family for a good long while though.

The poor bubba 2yo draft x who's been broken. :(

I think Mocha got broken at 5. :)

[madeyemads.livejournal.com]

Oh disappointing!
I was thinking for a minute we'd have three year olds together! Oh well.

[maggies-lens.livejournal.com]

hehehehheeee, sorry Madz. I'd love to have another horse but I just can't afford it, and def don't have the funds and time required with a youngster. Plus I don't seem to bounce any more, these days it's more of a SPLAT, so I'm not too keen on going through the fireworks and dragon-fire that is training a youngster again. I don't think I'd be lucky to have another one as forgiving as Desi was either! You CAn buy him for me if you want: http://www.horsedeals.com.au/horses-for-sale.php?doSrch=doSrch&horseTypes_id=18 he's in Vic, Redbank (not sure where that is). Broken in at age 2 with clear signs of going through a growth spurt, little fella would need a year or so to undo that damage and just be a pony!

[madeyemads.livejournal.com]

lol no thank you. I have my fwee year old who I am riding tomorrow (she was ready for me last week, but time didn't work out) who is going PERFECTLY even going on trail rides on her own! So that should be enough for now. She's only being ridden for the next six weeks when she gets home then she's chucked in the paddock to grow until December when she turns four.
She's gorgeous, wait until you see her!
