Well, just to keep us going, here's some pics from our ride this past Saturday, out in the Forest.

Little Miss Whirl with her half brother Blade. They definitely look alike to me!...

BladeRider on Blade and HaveFaith on Sassy, enjoying the fall foliage. And yes, it really was that yellow right there and not just bad camera color...

And I've gotten a couple of updates from the girl who bought Goose. They showed him this past Saturday night and here's what she had to say about that...

goose won....1.. 2nd,1.. 3rd, 2.. 4th, 1.. 5th..red won.... 2..4th...doc(my red roan),won 2..2nd, 1..4th-------goose done really well. he was scared of his shawdow bad during warm ups though. we were scared he would blow up when they turned on the music but he held it together great.we were showing against seasoned big time show horses all dolled up. some with banded lite shoes and glittery show clothes,which shouldnt be allowed but politics lets them in. jeffrey showed goose in all the solid color trail classes and speed racking. he got 2nd in speed racking out of 4 horses. the winner gait broke into a run but was considerably faster than goose. that horse belongs to my boss..lol. she lives for that class every year.goose actually looked better but she pretty much almost lapped him,but for a colt he is very fast. the other horse is 8 i think, and shown lots in that class. i think we might get it next time. we got lots of compliments on him.he is trying to run his nose out though. everybody kept saying if we could get his nose out of the air he would be awesome. we put a bump port with 4 inch shank. i think he may need longer shank to pull it down. trying to get him to look like he did with you last sunday.we gonna ride about 10-15 miles today . i will take more pics then. my camera takes horrible pics at the show ring cause the lights. they all blurred!! we are definatly proud to have him. jeffrey is getting very attached to him. we have about decided just to share him because we both like him and my little horse is pretty awesome to. he looked the best hes ever looked with me in the ladies spotted class. i got 2nd.i wasnt even excepting to place because all the others were show horses and then there was me,,so that was cool.i wish you couldve been there. they will have another in the spring. maybe you can come then. prob be late march or april. or around there.well gota go get ready to ride, chat later tonight with details from gooses ride 2day.

She apparently doesn't believe in capitalization or punctuation, but it sounded good anyways. ;o)

And here's the latest update on his first real trail ride at his new home

goose did good today.jeffrey rode him.he done really good in the woods.we didnt jump anything yet. he stepped over some little logs and i had to jump cause my horse likes to jump!...lol. he stands on anything you ask him to. troy must have thaught him or did you? he got his front legs on a stump like he knew excatly what to do. he threw his head really bad though. we going to co-op to get a snaffle bit today. hope to find time to ride him after lunch maybe.he lets you open and close gates on him really good! get u some pics as soon as i get this comp figured out.
