That is the name of the possible new addition. Lol.
Before I go any further, there is always of course the possibility that I might not find anything. I have to remind myself of that. Or I might find it and have the board situation fall through. OR I might find it and have it bought out from under me. I must remind myself of all those negative situations, yes. So that I don't get too carried away. :D
That being said...I thought to myself, I should figure out what I want. The Coach said as much too. Heh. Smart idea.

| This sounds good! :D |
But not much chance of Chilli Morning being magically transported to my backyard. And maybe he's a bit of overkill anyway (maybe....). Therefore. The essentials are...
- Mare or gelding. I really like mares but have "clicked" with geldings too.
- 3-10 years old. I'd like something on the younger side, but started under saddle.
- Can jump! Or at least no indication that it shouldn't be able to jump.
- No obnoxious traits--rearing/bucking/etc. Sure, I can deal with that, but why do it if you don't have to?!
- No health issues. Able to go barefoot if doing low-level jumping and flat work.
- Less than $2000. Yeah I don't have a whole lot of money for the initial purchase...
- Close to my area. Or be able to persuade Coach to take a long trip with me. ;)
- Forward. I like the hotter horses.
- Not too spooky. A bit of goofiness is okay but I'd really prefer not to have a bolter.
- Something potentially show-able.
OTTB!! :)
ReplyDeleteYES. haha :) Actually there's a place 2 hours from my house that takes TBs off the Florida racetracks and gives them a light restart under saddle before adopting them out. Looks really nice. I might be making a trek down there sometime soon :)
