I was bad

[happy appy]

Well it's not really a marestare thread but I thought I would post here. I was really down after Cheerio lost her filly so my husband took me to an auction today. We came home with a couple new additions. I believe the person I bought from is also a member on this forum. I bought 2 mares with foals on their side and one yearling colt that is the spitting image of my favorite driving horses Sugar! If you want I can post pictures. They aren't very good but I just got home and put everyone is a stall for the night to rest. It was a long weekend for them. They started with a 10 hours drive yesterday to the auction house and then the crowds all day.

Yes, of course, we want to see pics, even if they aren't the best. We love pics, especially ones of new horses. I like your math... You say a couple new additions, and if I can add, it sounds like you brought home 5: two mares, their two colts plus a yearling. Is that right, 5 new horses? Congrats, can't wait to see them, plus hear all the details.

Here is AJ Murray's The Brat Entertains, colt, yearling.



On the left are AJ Murray's Simply Elegant mare and her colt AJ Murray's Georges Rhinestone.



On the right is AJ Murray's Blue Diamond Buckeroo and her filly AJ Murray's Georges Ice Queen.



I didn't know at the time but they were bred back to Boones Little Buckeroo Charmer for next. I wouldn't be upset if they weren't in foal. But by next year I might be happy about foaling again. You never know.

WOW!! FIVE new horses, plus possibly two more for next year! Awesome!! And they are all just beautiful!! All of them are so well groomed too! CONGRATS!!

 

[cassie]

Wow! They are lovely very exciting! And I can understand your reservations and excitement about the maybe foals for next year.

Gorgeous new babies. Congrats again

Hubby talked me into getting the 2 mares because they are a driving team. I will probably find good homes for their foals though but it wont stop me from playing with them for the next year or so!

you sure were bad....lol 5 very nice looking horses

Really I only bought one! Hubby bought the others. lol The foals are very small and petite. Moms are only 31 inches. Zeus is much larger than the new foals and they are 38 (right foal) and 32 (left foal) days old and Zeus is only 18 days old.

That is so awesome about getting a driving team. When you gonna start driving them?

Once the foals get older I will put the mares to a vehicle but for now I might start ground driving them with the foals on their sides. Individually at first of course. They haven't been driven in a couple of years since the owners husband had a stroke.

Wow Tina that is WONDERFUL!! It is so cool that you have a driving team!!

Their foals are really pretty, they look to be silver, grey/black?? What fun you will have this summer with Zeus and the 2 new babies!! You have a very kind and thoughtful hubby he knew just what you needed after what you went through!!!!! Enjoy all your new babies and I really don't think you needed to ask if we all wanted to see........OF COURSE WE WANT PICTURES!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS on your new "babies" !!!! YES, this is the place to share your new "couple of horses" -- and I, too, like your math skills!!!!

Can't wait for more pictures -- and how nice that Zeus is going to have 2 buddies to play with !!

Ok I took day time photos while they were on the pasture this morning. I do have halters and catch ropes on the mares only because they don't know me and I wanted to make sure I could get them back in without and fuss. I don't turnout with halters normally. In all my excitement yesterday I forgot to get their barn names! I have sent an email through to the Murray's to find out but they wont be home until late today after their drive. They told me it was 10 hours for them.
