That is really cool about Sophie!
How old is she? Kai is worth about $1,000...but her owner is selling her to me for $800...not as good a deal as your's but still under$1000!
What breed is she? What does she look like?
Anyway, I have to go...I am taking care of my boss' horses while she is out of town...She has 10 horses...and all of them live at her house!
So I have quite a job to do!

Actually, I really trust the people who are selling her to me so I haven't really asked much about her. So just by looking at her I would guess that she is 6-10 yrs old. I have no idea of her breed. Large black and white spots. Thick mane and tail. I haven't really paid a whole lot of attention to her (except petting her whenever I go past) But what I have seen is she seem s pretty bomb-proof.
Ten horses is a lot of horses to feed.

Well, I work for her...as a kind of farm hand-slash-exerciser for the horses-slash-house keeper, and horse feeder while she is gone...I get paid pretty well...But I also work for the local animal hospital...and I walk dogs, go on farm calls...which is where the vet comes to your house and does whatever! I also help with surgeries, and give shots, and clean cages, and all of that good stuff! I try to keep my working days liited to 2-3 days per week...sometimes less...but its because I am still in school, and have to focus on that too! even on the dyas I work, I do school when I get home...!

By the way, it sounds like you have gotten yourself a "paint" horse...is she trained yet?

Well, Its sounds like you stay busy.

Actually, Sophie is not a paint horse, but she has "paint" markings. I rode her today, and she is just wonderful. Yesterday she was being lazy, because she hadn't been ridden in a year, but today now that she knows that she has to do it she has been really willing and eager to do everything I ask her to do. She is 4-7 years old, the guy didn't know for sure (I'm going to find out though), I would guess she is 15-16 hands high, she is great with water, she really is just the perfect horse. Although she founders easily, because she is so fat, but I am going to work it off of her. And maybe breed her in a couple of years.
Ray thinks she is part Missouri Foxtrotter, but is not sure.

Have you gotten Chicken Pox?? Let's hope it's a light case.

I'll post pics as soon as I bring her home this weekend.
