I'll know more about him by then. I don't know anything about the gelding yet. I do know he's registered because he's got papers with him but the owner did not know his registered name by heart. I know he wants $800 for him which is ridiculously low if he's in good health. He says his son (8 years old) rode him just fine. When I see him tonight, I'll have a better Idea of conformation (for so far as I know anything about that), health, rideability and possible driving ability. I'll try to take pictures. I'm also trying to get my vet to come with me. I do hope that someone is willing to rescue this boy. There's a horse auction in Lexington tomorrow and I hope that the guy will give me some time to find someone for this gelding. Because most horses bought at that auction are being shipped off to Mexico. I would hate to see that happen.

Re: The Cinderella Carriage Company
This message is from: Sue Weakley sw...@aol.com What a lovely e-mail. Thank you, Dave. Your story made my night. Sue On Thu, Jul 8, 2010 at 11:37 PM, Dave McWethy 4nh...@gmail.com wrote: This message is from: Dave McWethy 4nh...@gmail.com I have metamorphosed (if anyone cares) into the Cinderella Coach Company, specializing in the transport of young girls. I have discovered an exquisite niche in the carriage driving world, which is most particularly, picking young girls up from school at the end of the day. The CCC is looking for young ladies in need of special recognition. I've done it three times now, two elementary and one middle school. This is the scene: I arrive with my pair of white horses, manes carefully trimmed and standing tall, at the end the day, and while the less deserving get on the school bus, our young friend gets on the carriage, joining her mother and me, and off we go. I can't think of anything I can do that has greater impact on someone's life! I'm hooked! This week I gave a ride to a grandaughter of a friend, a four year old, and thereby too young for school, and besides, school is out, so what am I going to do? The grandmother went ahead in her truck, so it was just the two of us. This was a smart and mature young woman, who could in fact spell her name, who very clearly has a passion for horses. She has many versions at home, but had never ridden in a carriage and never sat on a horse. Aha! Cinderella Coach Company reporting for duty! As we went along she said how she wanted a horse. I told her that mine were for sale, and she looked interested. She said she would take one. I said no, she had to take both, since they are a pair. She said,Okay, and asked me how much they cost. I was a little surprised to be having this negotiation with a four year old, but she was very clear. I said, Thousands! She said, I don't have thousands. I said, Talk to your mother. When we got back to the paddock, she had the chance to sit on Solven and ride a hundred feet, supported by her grandmother. We were both having a right good time.

First and hopefully the owner will fill in the details , I sold Clayridge Henry to Karen Petty , this spring. Karen lives out on the West Coast and she KICKED BUTT today doing Intro A B, with scores of 75% and 67%. You go girl. Karen had a Fjord gelding that she did dressage with and unforunately he died of Colic. She is VERY excited to have Henry and get started with his dressage career. So...WAY TO GO KAREN YOU GUYS ROX! Then in the Midwest, I took Sebastian to his first Dressage Show , and only second show his whole life. I took him to BE in July but he wasn't really ready to show yet, but now he is! We came home with Reserve Champion for the Intro Division. With a high score of 65.5%, second only to a school master TB , so I was THRILLED. We also did Training level Test 1, and had a nice ride until the right lead canter. We have had troubles with this but this week we nailed it ALL WEEK, until today! Even in warm up , right on. Oh wellcan't be perfect all the time. I was very pleased with his attitude, willingness and performance. We have two more shows this Sept/Oct. We'll be doing Training level and will NAIL that lead!
