Holy Shit! I bought a horse

[history_gurl]

So, um, yeah, we bought a horse on Saturday. She's a four year old, bay mare. Green broke. Thoroughbred. Her registered name is Majestic Jet. We changed her barn name to Maia. Pictures under the cut.








Turning is a skill she hasn't quite mastered yet.




She's 16.1 and such a dark bay, but she'll grow a little bit more and fill out a lot.





She is, however, quite willing. She'd never even seen a jump before Saturday, and she took it in stride. Literally, as she simply trotted over the cavaletti. But hey, it's a start!

You know, I was just thinking this morning that I needed to call you and see if you're still alive. ;)

Hey, gonna be around there next October? My mom's planning a family outing to Vermont (the 'rents, one of my aunts and me to visit said aunt's younger son in VT) and we're working out the way there. Was thinking that I'd finally get to use "my room" *vbg* if we go that way as my mom suggested. :)

(The idea is they drop me there to spend the week and they go on to VT, then I may see if another friend from outside Montré wants to meet halfway or something from your place so I can spend some time with her and then the fam will pick me up from there.)

OMG! That would be totally awesome! Like, beyond awesome.

I'll be in Toronto this weekend, but I shall call you soon.
