This is not the horse we left to go look at. That horse turned out to be a sad lame case. More on that later. :~(
This was another horse from the paper, seven years old, Registered Half Arab X Mustang mare. Done 4H, done trails, the daughter lost interest and stopped riding.
She's underweight on first impression, but I don't worry about her gaining weight at our place. Point out anything you see but I was impressed with her legs looking sound and straight.... she's barefoot and has never been shod - they say she doesn't need it ;~) She is not a fancy mover like Bay is, but has a nice fast business-like walk, and overall, ~easier~ gaits to sit than Bay has.
This is the owner (or, rather, the owner's mom)

Whew.... I'm nervous! and excited. This family raised this horse from a foal. They owned mom and the Arabian dad... and lost the mother when she was a week old... She was hand fed, and is very personable and easy to handle. So far. Like Cindy, I will now have to see what personality we get when she gets some groceries in her. ;~D
