Day Eleven: 30 Day Horse Challenge

Day Eleven: Find a sale horse online that you want to buy.

Wow this is a difficult one! It's been so long since I've done my research that I can't honestly answer this one, but going off of first impressions and very brief digging here are my choices. I couldn't find anything by my favorite sires, but these are good too.

Horse One - http://www.dreamhorse.com/show_horse.php?form_horse_id=1676950

I couldn't find any baroque style colts. It seems like the sport type are the only ones available now. I like this colt's pedigree and he could possibly look more baroque. I love his movement. I'm betting his temperament would be very nice. He is registered FPS/FHANA. I want one that hasn't been ridden yet because I like to start them myself so I know they haven't been ridden too soon, too hard or taught bad habits.

Horse Two - http://www.dreamhorse.com/show_horse.php?form_horse_id=1675647

This guy is heavier and looks like he might be more baroque. He also has a ton of hair already. The reason he is second is mainly because I would have to see what his temperament is like because his sire Teade is known for producing "hot" offspring and his ad just didn't have as much information. There is a video though. :)

And just for fun I looked up Appaloosas because I love them too and came up with this horse. I don't know for sure if I would buy him, but he's cute. :)

Horse Three - http://www.dreamhorse.com/show_horse.php?form_horse_id=1648406

He's a Friesian/Appaloosa and he's my favorite Appy pattern, black blanket. :D He's cute! You never know how Friesian crosses are going to look, but it looks like he's developing nicely. I bet he has a wonderful temperament too. He's also going to be tall and his grandsire is Laes, one of my favorite Friesian stallions. :D

Laes 278

And just for the heck of it, isn't this one cute??

He's a pure Appaloosa colt. Cute!

I enjoyed this challenge. I love looking at Friesians hehe. :D

Breed: Standard Donkey
DOB: 2007

Date Aquired: My dad rescued/bought him shortly before I brought Chrome home, but he gave him to us on 1-18-10.

Likes: Treats, forehead scratches, his buddies and braying early in the morning.
Dislikes: Being handled at all (his first three years were spent in someone's backyard never being touched), sudden movements and sometimes his bratty pasture mate Chrome. :D

I'm in my thirties, live in the USA and I love horses (obviously). I've been obsessed with Friesians (that's Chrome's purebred Friesian sire in the above picture) for over ten years. I started riding horses when I was five and always had horses from then until 2007 when I found myself without one. I wanted a Friesian, but the budget wouldn't allow for it so I started looking at crosses. I found Chrome (Friesian/Arabian) and I haven't regretted it for a second. I bought him as a five month old weanling in 2009 and I've done all of his training myself. The blog is about our continued journey together as I attempt to make him my dream all around horse who can do anything from dressage, competitive trail riding, driving, mounted archery, working equitation and anything else we want to try. He's still very green and we obviously have a long way to go, but you're welcome to follow along on our journey. I also love dogs, art, photography, writing, reading, fishing, biking, camping, archery and many other things.
