New Addition to the Family

100_0470sm.jpg

This is Skip. We bring him home on Saturday. He is a 5 year old registered Paint horse. We are thinking he can probably be double registered as a Palomino too, if we want to do that.

He cost 2X the retail value of my car. However, that is more a statement on the relative worth of my car than it is the horse :)

I'd go into great detail on what we learned on the road to this point, but I'm saving it for the book.

You think I'm kidding about the book...

Congratulations! I've been waiting for this news. Hope everything goes smoothly for the purchase, ride home and acclimation.

And what's his full registered name? Any "Bar" in those bloodlines? He looks like, hhmm, he could be a "Skip Bar something-or-other".

But maybe those are QH names only. I don't know much about Paint geneology....
