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.
Thanks! Not much you can do except to say, That is my horse and it is going home with me.
Reminds you of that old story or saying, "A horse, my kingdom for a horse."
: )
Yeah. I knew I wanted mine as soon as I interacted with them. I would guess that they know you like them too.
I was reading through the posts and I gotta jump in here on this one. You are exactly right!! Whenever I was iffy about a horse I always regretted the purchase. When I went to see Tuffy I rode him for 5 minutes and said I'll take him. I just knew. He has a permanent home with me. The palomino mare I bought for my daughter I didn't even have to get on, I watched someone else ride her and said I'll take her. I must have ridden 50 horses in the last 8 months or so and I can usually tell in the first 5 minutes if it's a horse I'll be seriously interested in. I drove more than an hour and a half to see a horse that looked and sounded really nice. When I got there they were already riding the horse and had him in a dripping, lathered up sweat. If I hadn't of driven so far I would have turned around and walked away. Those people must have thought I was a total moron.
