Mephis

So I bought another horse! Lets just say bring on the horse expenses is an understatement.

500 - The horse himself
30 - To move him
25 - Farrier
14 - Wormer
250 - Board
65 - Pulling the Coggins
17 - Two buckets for stall

I'm sure I'm forgetting something somewhere but this is all the immediate up front costs to bringing him home. Yikes.

He has the same issue Dodge did which is rushing out of the stall. I asked around for some advice and have a game plan in my head. I know he is just testing me to see what he can get away with and I try to be somewhat fair in how I treat my animals. On Friday we are going to work our asses off at the stall scenario. I'll get him.

In all he is what I wanted: 15 hands or taller, Tennesse Walking Horse, and a easy goig disposition. Oh and to be gaited, he has WONDERFUL gaits. On Sunday I'll work with him more with that and hopefully come to a understanding with him. (I said hopefully, not expecting miracles here.)

I'll get pics up soon, I'm too lazy to copy and paste.
