On Thursday evening about 6:30, my daughters left for Texas. They were going to deliver a shetland mare of theirs for breeding, and pick up a shetland filly they had bought, along with two yearling shetlands a fellow Kentuckian had bought, and drive right back home. While I was at the grocery, my oldest called my hubby and told him that there was a very nice weanling colt for sale that was well worth the money, and would he like him? He had seen pictures. He told her he would be killed and laying in the kitchen floor when I got home if he said yes. Her response was "well, it wouldn't be the first time would it?" Anyway, he consented, and they bought the colt for him. We had to rush and get stalls ready and etc., for when they got back. They arrived much to my real surprise, at 8:45 Saturday morning!
I thought sure they would pull off and rest sometime, but as it ended up, there was only about 4 hours early Saturday morning they felt that neither could drive, and they must sleep. I like the new colt a lot, his pictures did not do him justice. He will mature under 38 inches, we believe, and we will hardship him into the R's. His name is Blackduck High Plains Drifter, which I love, and he is a silver bay. His pictures did not do him justice. He is refined, with a neck, throat, and legs to die for! Pretty head too! Enough chrome to make him flashy. Those girls do know good horseflesh when they see it! Oh by the way, I didn't kill Jerry over it, I just beat him severely around the head and neck with a powder puff!
