When I found this one and looked her over. I talked to the owner/seller and paid for her right there. She went straight home to my barn. FrogInABlender helped a lot getting her started out right. There was never any setbacks or problems even though the horse was only greenbroke and barely knew anything. Her attitude was great and made her easy to work with.
In my experience, the best horses I've ever had were the ones that I knew I had to have when I saw them, something in their eyes maybe. A couple have been a bit of a hand full to begin with, but I've never regretted a purchase like that. Probably due in part to my attitude about the horse I would guess.
