I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to really read or post on the forum, but now things are settling down some and here I am!
Okay, as most of you know I just bought a 14.0 hh. gelding, "Jesse". He's my first 'big' horse in a couple of years since I sold my last full size horse. It took me a while to finally decide to make the move again and get a full size and I was very selective about the horse I chose. Jesse really seems to be a great horse, from what I can tell the short time he has been here.
The day I met him his whole personality and ways just screamed "Samson!" to me. Samson was my first pony, 13.2 hh. gelding who was really, my soul mate and passed away 10/12/01.
The day AFTER I got Jesse I checked the mail and noticed two AMHA envelopes. I found it rather odd since I was just expecting one thing from AMHA (a temp. to perm. certificate). I openeded one envelope and it's the certificate I wanted, great..... I opened the other and it's a certificate and DNA results for a horse I've never owned or even know of. I look close and read the horse's name .... Part of the horse's name (not the prefix) is "Samson".
I know my farm is Samson's Acres and I could see if I used Samson's Acres or Samson anywhere in my prefix or registration, but absolutely nothing on record with any of the registries is Samson, since I use my own personal name or initials for everything.
What do ya think?! I find this so ironic and almost spooky. I thought it was a cute topic either way.
(I did mail the certificate back to AMHA the following day)
