Big news around the Poxleitner household-- we bought Nicole a new horse yesterday! We still have her 23 year old horse, but he's not doing very well, sadly. We thought we should start looking for a replacement. We have read and considered hundred of ads for horses. There were lots that had potential, but there was always something not quite right about them.
We tried one out in Pullman the other day and decided he was the one!! He's a beautiful bay gelding who is only 7 years old. He's incredibly well trained with amazing manners. We're leaving him with the owner for a couple of weeks so Nicole can go up and get a few lessons from her. She uses lots of leg pressure, and subtle cues to communicate with him. She has agreed to help Nicole learn how to ride him the way he's been trained.
I didn't have my "real" camera with me when we bought him, so we took pics with Glenn's phone. Sadly, I don't have the pictures right now. Soon, I promise!

This one, is the right one! Love his confirmation ... (Nicole will still get to use that pretty silver halter)... And I think it's great that Jaspers former owner is going to get her started with him. That will help the confidence level. Great job finding this boy, she will win one of those pretty ribbons with the two foot long tail, now!
I totally agree! Can't wait to see pictures and see what Nicole and Jasper can do!
