The weekend in my news....


Ah the husband came in on Thursday night and it was amazing how much I missed him over the past 12 days...we had to sit and chat for an hour or so and get caught up on the happenings.

I needed to hear about his trip and he needed to tell me about a surprise he has found for me. Which of course led to another discussion. He knows I have a fondness for American Saddlebreds and he happened upon one that is absolutely wonderful. He is an 18 yr old gelding named 'Doc'. Doc has been in three movies and his a five-gaited, all business type horse. He is a bit over 16H and a very sound very good boy. So after discussing Doc, it appears that he is going to become my Christmas and Anniversary gift. LOL. I cannot wait to post pics of him as soon as we get some taken. The only was to describe him is a tri-colored fade. He is a Dark Red Bay that fades down into a black at the fetlocks. One front fetlock is white. I was pleasantly surprised that my husband remembered that I loved dressage as well as western riding...I did not think he has paid much attention to my disclosure of my love for Dressage. As some people refer to it "fancing stepping"... Apparently Doc just loves being a horse...he loves being under saddle and will do whatever you want to ask of him which is totally cool. Husband did tell me he is not the "lovey" type of horse but he does prefer females. So I think with some well-earned personal attention and affection, he will be more 'lovey'. I am indeed a happy wife and also a very lucky one.
