Well, i'm hooked!
My husband and i went to the local market a month ago and there was a miniature farm owner there showing off his beautiful babies. My husband was drawn to them, while i was saying 'I'd rather have a big horse' as i used to own 2 full sized horses many years ago.
After chatting with the owners, i decided it was time to actually touch one of them. HOOKED!!! It happened that quickly! That one stroke of little 'Bailey' who was 5 weeks old at the time and i was in love.
We took their business card and for the next week or so i couldnt stop thinking about this little guy. I started to do research on the net about mini horses. I couldn't sleep at night! I emailed the owner and discovered that little Bailey was way too expensive. It was money we didn't have. We have a house that is need of renovations etc. Having a mini horse also meant spending money on fencing.
I hate it when my heart rules my head. My husband is much more sensible even though he loved Bailey too. It was killing me. The owners asked us to come and visit their farm which was just down the road. So, away we went. Another big mistake cause now i got to play with Bailey and the other foals, although Bailey was the only foal that really captured my heart. (Why do they do that!!!!!!!?) They offered Bailey to us at a much more reasonable price now that they could see that he would be coming to a loving home.
To cut a long story short, we will be Bailey's new owners at the end of February!!! My darling husband has given up the money that we had put aside to build his long awaited garage/workshop to buy Bailey and build the fencing and shelter! What a wonderful husband although i did put on my best Academy award winning performance for weeks on end!
I will post photos once i figure out how to do it. This is a fabulous forum and i'm so glad i found it. You are a great group of mini lovers.
