Casey texted me to look at a horse on KSL and within 5 minutes I bought it and made arrangements for my dad to pick it up. Josie named her Roxy like the pony Roxy but when Dean brought her home she changed her name to Sara. She will probably change it again. We had some cold weather so we didn't get to try Sara for a few days but today we rode her for a long time and she is exactly what we need. She doesn't flinch at dogs or cows and does good on the road. She limps a little when she trots but still has enough gumption to go. We all fell in love with her today and hope she is with us for a while. She is 24 but hopefully will help Josie learn to ride and gain more confidence. It will be nice to have two kid horses so Josie and Trig aren't continually fighting about who gets to ride on front on Scout.
Josie loved riding Sara and learning to make her obey. She loves to trot and Sara didn't seem to mind trotting from one end of the corral to the other a hundred times. Trig was trying to get Scout to trot like Sara but because he was riding in Dean's saddle I don't think Scout could even feel him kicking. I hit him on the butt and he took off, Trig lunged forward and yelled, "whoa Scout your a crazy horse".
Quincy went for her first ride today she didn't seem to care much once she was on but she has a pretty serious fear of anything with fur. She is afraid of cows, cats, dogs, and horses. Maybe it will be like stranger anxiety and pass with time; or maybe she will just stay in the house for the rest of forever.
