Hi guys! Sorry it has been forever since I last posted. Since my last post, several things have happened-I started back at my old job and picked up more riding lessons and I got a new horse. A friend of my has had some health issues and needed to get rid of two horses, a mare and her 3 year old colt. He could no longer care for them, and yes, I am very aware that this colt needs some weight so please do not tell me that. Since I have had him he has started gaining weight, but you need to do it slowly and safely and not just throw feed to them. I assure you-this horse is being well cared for now. I knew I did not want the mare so I sold her before I ever brought her home. As for the 3 year old gelding, I hope to make him my futurity colt for next year. I know this will not be easy since he could barely be lead around when I picked him up last Wednesday. We have been working most days and he is improving greatly, but now, he needs a name. I am going to be holding a contest to name this horse. He also needs a registered name so registered names as well as barn names will be accepted. Just post your name and name suggestion at the bottom of this page. I will be taking names until Tuesday morning at 12:01AM and then I will allow everyone to vote on the suggestion until Friday at noon. Then Friday evening I will post the results and the winner will get a horse lover's prize package. Here are a few pictures to help you get a feel for him. I know a few of them are very dark, but maybe they will help some. Thanks for your help in advance! Also, you can enter as many times as you like!
Several people are having problems commenting on this site so you can also send your answers in by Twitter- @Wishingwindsran or email at wishingwindsranch@gmail.com and I will post all the names we have gotten on Wednesday so everyone can vote. Thanks for all the participation!
