In stepped Okie (13yo 14h) and Star (12yo 15h)... and changed our opinions. They are the best mannered, even when in season, quietest, pleasant equines to be around. I don't say never anymore... and the corgi, oh my goodness... had a corgi we names Try (because as a pup he'd attempt to jump up on the couch and my daughter would encourage him by coaxing him with "come on, try... try harder" so he became Try... he was also tri-colored which helped. He lived to be 10 yo and succumbed to back and joint issues. I will have another corgi someday when the time is right. They are by far the easiest to train breed I have ever owned.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07278394472129067963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-43270140829958146942014-07-04T15:57:01.449-07:002014-07-04T15:57:01.449-07:00WHP--I like your criteria.

She's more complex, perhaps that's easier to work with as I get older? <br /><br />How to pick a horse, that's a good question. Wise: has seen a lot of things and isn't bothered by them. Sound in body too: good feet and lower legs especially. Independent: will go out alone, happy in new places, relaxed, confident. There aren't many like that, not here in England anyway.

He can spot the horse that will work as a kid's horse--and he has turned horses around for more than twice the money within a day or two many, many times. I have heard through him that the little bay mare is already packing a beginner teenage rider on solo trail rides and doing great. He says that ten thousand dollars wouldn't buy her now.Laura Crumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15200878892304748308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-65724799348123143092014-07-04T11:53:06.794-07:002014-07-04T11:53:06.794-07:00She does sound like a really nice mare. 2500 beco...She does sound like a really nice mare. 2500 becomes 5000 in one afternoon?

She was a really nice mare--acted just like a gelding (mare people are gonna hate me for that one).<br /><br />Cleo is very cute...I guess all puppies are cute. I didn't plan on getting a corgi, but I didn't go out looking for any of my dogs. They just sort of fell in my lap.Laura Crumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15200878892304748308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-59553319353499784302014-07-03T11:11:00.512-07:002014-07-03T11:11:00.512-07:00A mare?!?!

He was the best dog, the happiest dog, and I think I gave him every good day he could have had. But now, I start every day crying. I know I want a puppy, but a certain farmer says no.<br /><br />I also love Corgis, and I have a Swedish Vallhund, who is a lot like a corgi. I love that last picture with your son. Good luck with her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
