I've been mare shopping. Originally I wanted a pregnant mare because I want to experience raising a foal from an egg (so to speak). I saw some very nice mares, but they were all too far along. Just not ready and prepared for the actual birth yet. So I thought, well.. I'll get a unbred mare and start the process from the very beginning.
In the process, I found this 2 year old mare that I very much liked. And drove to Tennessee to look at her. And ended up with a package deal!
A champagne walker/saddlebred yearling and a black two-year old walker mare. He's going to make a great racking horse. She's already got a pretty fast rack and has been started under saddle.
Here they are newly arrived in the barn. Unfortunately they came down with shipping fever so they aren't feeling too good. They're weary and weak right now, but acclimating very well despite it.
