Horses are Like Potato Chips...

Life has been busy but I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. My current semester will be over at the end of April and then my final semester will be from mid June to August. I am looking forward to the break from school and am very excited about my summer plans! My dad is scheduled to do a bicycle tour in Colorado and wants to drive to visit family in Kansas. I have decided to tag along and since Colorado is a hop, skip and a jump away from Utah I have also decided to make a trip to visit Carol and Bruiser. This got me thinking...it makes more sense to go ahead and get Bruiser since I will have already driven all that distance.

As a college student I knew that I couldn't afford three horses and so for the last several months I have been looking for a home for Eclipse. The market is atrocious and he isn't an easy horse to place but recently I found a potential candidate. The rub is that now I'm not so sure I want to part with him. I continued training him while I was looking for his new home and he has recently shown some excited progress with groundwork. At first I had a horse that thought canter meant trot like hell strung out and now I have a horse that actually offers to canter on the correct lead both ways!

So this left me with a dilemma. I can't afford three horses at the moment but I want all three. I know I need another horse like I need a hole in my head but Bruiser seems like such a perfect match for me. Thankfully I have found a solution and my client Anita has decided to lease Calatar. It will work beautifully for both of us as she can now get a taste of horse ownership and I can ensure he can retire with me when the time comes. Needless to say I am thrilled and I promise to take lots of photos and videos of Bruiser for his fan club.
