I bet Storm will pick it up and go with it! "Fjord with Arab brain" ...I love it....LOL LOL LOL. That is soooo funny....ROTFL Speaking of Arabians...mine is registered with the Canadian Arabian Horse Registry....but unlike the Fjord registry, I can't seem to look up her pedigree on line. For instance, I don't even know if she is Polish, Egyptian or Crabbit. I have her original papers but no actual transfers were filed with the club and she has been sold 3 or 4 times. I was told today to contact the original owner and have a transfer signed directly from her to me....and skip the middle owners. Anyone ever done this? These Arab owners were also telling me not to jump into selling my Arab mare....that the spooking problem can be easily overcome. So guess I will just keep her awhile and ride her in the paddock where it is safer (too many coyotes down back anyway)...and maybe expose her to some stuff....garbage bags in trees....etc. Do any of you have any despooking ideas? ( If I have any potential buyers from my add, I will just take their phone number...and get back to them if and when I really do make up my mind to sell her.) They all had their feet trimmed today and all were very good about it. The farrier says Storm has very good feet....probably won't even need shoes. He was very impressed with him.
