Hello everyone! One of my friends over at Equichat suggested I pop over here for questions/discussion about our little friends. So I figured I'd do that with an introduction. Unfortinately I forgot my password to the account I registered several years ago, so I had to choose an unrelated name. Anyways, my name is Nathan (I've always said if I'm not comfortable posting my own name, I shouldn't be posting) and I'm finishing my MS in Equine Reproductive Physiology at Colorado State University. I own two stallions, My Country Charly, a 6yo Appendix, and Deacon's Light, my new little boy, a 11yo 38" black/white pinto stallion. Both are unbelievably well mannered. Charlie knows he's a boy, Deacon doesn't even realize it. Both have foals on the ground doing very well. This is Charlie:
and this is Deacon
.
I bought Deacon just a few weeks ago as a semi sorta-kinda rescue. His previous owner had just bought him from the woman who had bred and raised him (as "Houston's Comet"; I renamed him). She owned him for two or three months. Unfortinately she fell off her horse and seriously hurt herself, which removed the ability to work with him for several months. So to make a long story short, someone talked to someone who mentioned him to someone whom I mentioned to few months ago that I eventually wanted a little mini stud. Sooooo, I ended up meeting him, falling for him, and taking him home a week later. I couldn't have been more lucky.. he's unbelievably mannered (once I reminded him he can't walk all over me), learns fast, and is built just the way I like them
I'm not a fan of the mini's that are as tall as they are wide, but Deacon looks exactly like a horse, just miniaturized. I was told he was well broke to ride, and once he remembered what a bit was he's doing great learning to long-line. Hopefully he'll be moving to live with Charlie so I can work with him every day, and in a month or two progress up to hitching. Yay!
