OT: Something that doesn't happen every day.

Nothing to do with trucks, unless "Good thing I have a Dodge Truck with the tow package, because I need to buy a horse trailer" counts...

First, folks here don't know, I think, that I'm a horsewoman without a horse. That was my first career, before I started fixing computers.

I purchased 5 tickets for a raffle for a young Rocky Mountain horse at a horse expo back in January.

Much to my surprise, I found out Monday that I've actually WON him! I hardly ever win anything, so this is a big deal on a couple levels...

If there's any horsepeople here, he's a 9 month old Rocky Mountain colt (soon to be a gelding), his color is "red chocolate", and he's going to grow into a beautiful horse. Rocky Mountain horses are gaited, which means they have an extra gear, which is very smooth and non-bouncy.

I'm completely thrilled. Now, if I could just get in contact with the current owners, my week would be complete. They're being a bit elusive, I'm told because foaling season has started.

Anyway, that's my news for the week. How are y'all doing?

Horses don't make as good as targets as cats but they'll do in a pinch.....

I suppose now that you'll be too busy with the horse to bake us cookies.......

Now, that is pretty cool!! Congratulations!!!

I know nothing about horse ownership but I would think that it can be time consuming and I would think expensive.

How do you get it home? Do they ship it or do you have to drive out to get it? I'm thinking it's time for a Cummins powered truck.

I know we have to forget the CCC's as your going to be dealing in hay and whatever else a horse eats. Of course that presents a opportunity for Denny to vary his diet.

Post some pic's please!

Maybe the govt should do more of this, (give horses away)...

think of the economic stimulus it would generate... now you need a truck (if you didn't have one) and a trailer, a fenced in area, some kind of shady area type out building. Then all the feed and vet bills... lol

I know, just ribbing ya. FWIW, I raised cattle (cow & calf) for a while. 'least I had hopes of making money at the end of the tunnel, horses.... not so much.

She knows better. And, she can tell who wrote what.

I don't know why, but since you messed with your reader your's is the only one that leaves out the >>>> on the post being replied to.

Actually it was you running your mouth that got us screwed out of the cookies.

Well, I certainly hope not. My hay burner is just a baby though - 9 months old. Photos will be forthcoming in due time - I go up on Saturday to sign paperwork and make arrangements. He'll stay at his home until late spring. I need time to find a suitable place for him here.

Who might make cookies soon to celebrate. Maybe. If I can afford the chocolate any more :)

It does take a little time putting one in all those little dog food cans. The cans are actually quite cheap!

Yes, I've met him. He's a free horse, and the stable is reputable, so I'm not so worried about a vet check.

Patience young padwan. I have to take some first. Tomorrow.

If someone gave you this horse,

it would be free. What you are getting is going to cost you (and your dear hubby) a lot. I hope you started baking to butter him up.

FMB, oh, I well know he's going to be a money sink. I've been a horsewoman longer than I've been a geek - or a truck owner . This is a dream come true for me though, and I can afford it.
