- Hi Everyone,
- After the trick my niece pulled on me, (backing out of selling her
- horse) and me posting it in RE, I swore I'd never do this again,
- but....here I go again...(silly me!)
-
- I have a friend that works in a near-by Safeway store, and she has
- one horse too many, and would like to find this one a really good
- home. I went out to her house and looked at him, and if I had the $$$$
- I'd take him myself, but on a bus driver's salary....(hah!)
- What follows is the information I got from her, and from my own personal
- observation of the horse. Believe me, he is a real gem.
-
- Horse's name is Skeeter, 7 1/2 years old, half Arab, half Quarter horse.
- He's 15 hands, Sorrel, with a blaze and 3 white socks. His mane is long
- and full, as is his tail, same color as his body. He looks like an arab,
- but has a wide chest, with a deep girth, (good lung power)
- He is well trained, although he probably needs some 'brush up work, or
- fine tuning. He has been extensively rode on lots of trail rides, been
- used in the poker runs at the Flying M ranch in McMinnville.
- He loads, clips, bathes, easy to shoe, well mannered, no vices, meaning
- he doesn't kick, crib, bite, or buck, ect. His disposition is very kind,
- and although he is just a bit wary of strangers, he is friendly. He's
- an easy keeper, and is well cared for, with documentation for all shots,
- wormings ect.
- I checked him pretty much all over, and couldn't find one thing wrong with
- him, feet, legs look great, hooves are sized proportionate to his body,
- and are in excellent shape. While I was petting him, he did not show the
- least amount of nervousness at being touched anywhere, and when I run my
- fingers down his back, he didn't flinch at all. He is sound.
- I could picture this horse doing dressage, or running barrels, or team
- penning...you name it, but the thing that came to mind the most would be
- endurance...I think he would be a great endurance prospect, he has the
- perfect build for it, and he has the look of an endurance horse.
- His eyes are clear and bright, no discharge from his nostrils, breathing
- rate was good, and he has the prettiest face,...well, you'd just have to
- see him for yourself. Yes, I fell in love with him, and like I said, I'd
- buy him in a minute if I could, but all I can do is to let others know
- about this 'prize', in the hopes that someone will find him and fall in
- love with him the way I did.
- If you think you'd like to go have a look at this WONDERFUL horse...
- you can call Barbara or Jerry Smith at 985-3216..evening or weekends.
- Skeeter's price is ONLY $1200, and he is located in Gaston, Ore. They
- have access to a nearby indoor arena, if you care to try the horse out.
- I don't think that this is one horse that will last too long, so if you
- think he sounds like something you'd like to have, better hurry before
- someone else snaps him up.
- If you want more information, you can call Barb or Jerry direct, or
- you can email me, and I can tell you anything more that I know. I will
- forward all responses to Barb.
- Laters..
