The plan is set!

Well I had a few things going around in my head lately. First off the horse market is awful and I can't even find horses in my price range that I want to look at. The second thing is I have a wonderful prospect that is coming along great. Kiz is not throwing her head anymore she is W/T/C with beautiful movement and she is starting to relax. She will also start jumping soon and I am very excited about that. I decided to keep her for sale but start working with her and Chelsey so I can begin showing her. I feel maybe with more maturity and more training she may become the horse I want even though she is a bit marish if ya know what I mean. I am very excited about this because Kizzy is an amazing talent and I can actually show this year. Chelsey will continue to train Kiz with the help of Jon and Suzy at Aspen Farm. I will continue taking lessons with Chels only I will start taking lessons on Kiz. Our goal will be Beginner Novice this year. Hopefully the updates will continue to be good and maybe she will even become more trustworthy around Gage and Dan...I hope so!

I'm Bummed...

I've decided to sell Kizzy and it is not because anything she did. She is coming along wonderfully. She is walking, trotting and cantering like a rock star. She is balanced and quiet and has a great brain. The reason I am selling her is because she is marish and neurotic on the ground and when she is left alone. She gets kicky and nervous and with a 4 yr old and a non horsey husband I don't feel safe with her around them.

When I started looking for a horse I was looking for a quiet gelding that had show experience at the Novice level. My goal is Training level maybe Prelim if I get the guts but I need a competitive horse that has a kind willing mind. The horse also has to be quiet on the ground so when my 4 yr old and my husband want to help they can. Now I know you have to always supervise kids and horses but I want a horse that I feel safe around and I am not scared when Gage gets a brush out to help.

I bought Kizzy more from emotion and I should have. I should have thought it through more but I truly thought Kizzy was going to be that sweet quiet horse I was looking for even though she is young right now. I did learn a lot from Kizzy though and with selling her I will have a bigger budget to find my perfect horse.

I will be changing this blog a bit once I get my new partner but for now I will close...
