Okay, so I'm gonna ramble a little and fill everyone in.
My horse herd got a lot bigger and more colorful today.
I traded Jade for that black colt I posted a while back, and a few hundred dollars, now, the black colt isn't really a horse I wanted but I could not for the life of me get Jade sold (mostly because of her age, everyone wanted her as a broodmare or something to work hard but changed their mind when they saw she was 16), so I gave in and took the colt. I liked the colt, but then again I like 90% of all the horses out there lol. So I just figured what the heck, I'll keep him. WELL. Then I saw those two colts (the palomino and roan) and they actually are horses that I WANT, so I was gonna sell the colt and buy one except for one thing, I was probably gonna lose quite a bit of money trying to sell a weanling this time of year. But I did find someone who wanted to trade horses with me. She had 2 grade geldings she'd trade, one is a year and 9 months, the other 2.5 years and has about 10 rides on him. So I figured, sure, I could trade and although it'd be a LOT of shuffling around, I could get them sold a lot easier than the black colt, then I could use that money to buy one of the others.
But here's the problem.
She picked up my colt and dropped off her geldings today, and I REALLY like them. Like a lot.
So now I'm super confused,
Do I want two adorable and quirky grade geldings, or do I want one AWESOME looking colt with the same great grandsire as June?!
I guess I'm going to spend the next week or 2 working with the geldings and then decide based off their personalities.
Whichever I decide, if I keep them or if I get one of the colts, after that I will be done buying and selling for a very long time.
And about the two geldings,
The first one is "Chex" (which I'll be changing if I keep him) he's 2.5 years old, 14.1 hands, red sabino (?), and he's a quarter horse, Appaloosa, mustang cross.
The other is "Voodoo" (I might actually keep that name), he's a year and nine months, 14.1 hands, buckskin tobiano (I think that's the right pattern?) with one blue eye and the other has a sliver of blue, he's either a paint or a paint/quarter horse.
They're very sweet boys. Voodoo seems smart, but very nervous, and Chex is very confident and sure footed.
Regardless of what I do with them, they should be fun to work with.
Oh, and question, with Voodoo being almost 2 and 14.1 hands, when I start desensitizing him to things do you think it'd be okay to put a saddle on him? Obviously I wouldn't sit in it.
*they are MUCH cuter in person than they are in pictures
I have a "pinto" and always wondered what the difference was
