is my fifth horse
that's the bay i linked to earlier.
broke all the rules - didn't get on (frankly, it was far too treacherous, and even though trainer did, it was pointless!) and haven't had him vetted. and didn't take any photos, we were all doing well to stand up, let alone remember to take phone out of other jacket pocket and out to frozen field!
but really nice person.
good as gold in box, good as gold to tack up.
now to organise transport, sort out stable/feed, and fingers crossed it doesn't snow any more on north yorkshire!
Blimey Claire that was quick work! Congrats and hope he's everything you want in a horse. He looks very nice!!
ReplyDeleteWow, an early xmas pressie...congrats, he looks a sweetie
ReplyDeleteCongratulations :)
ReplyDeleteWhat will his stable name be?
Hearty congratulations Claire, he looks a very nice sort indeed, what a find! Can't wait to hear more about him :D
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness...you bought Tucker!! Told you I was a sucker for bay Thorougbreds. I'm a bit surprised that you broke the rules, but then again, that's how I got Chance. Wishing you the same success I've had.
ReplyDeleteSounds like love at first sight to me. *G*
in this case, Jean, it was break the rules or no horse... no one can try him in that going, ice heaven! TOO dangerous. and for vet? vet knows vendor .....
ReplyDeleteWOW, congratulations!
ReplyDeleteHe is a good looking one, Claire!
I am looking forward to follow you with your new partner. Exciting!
Clearly you are ready for your next horse and didn't want to wait. Sometimes you just know. If all they say is true, and so far that appears to be the case, then he will be good to you, and you will have a lot of fun getting to know him.
ReplyDeleteNow as far as the snow goes, well, I am wishing you luck. Dave and I were just saying that we are glad that we are not trying to fly out or into the UK this Christmas season.
I found my Russell through a recommendation from my vet. He knew the dealer and told me he was honest. Russell and I were a match made in heaven. Here's hoping the same will be fore Monfils and you. Monfils Monfils is a curious name. Any idea as to the source?
ReplyDeleteJean - not really, but i gather he started his racing career in France, so i guess that's relevant! google shows, currently, a tennis player & a politician of that name, and translated it is "my son my son" ... so who knows!
