The New Filly...

Okay, this has the potential to be a very long post, so bear with me and I will try to keep it short. I am not sure if everyone knows yet, but no so long ago we sold all of Kaitlin's horses. Well, that is not entirely true we still technically own Breeze, but we have leased out for breeding. Anyway, selling the horse was really not a good thing for Kate. Shortly after we sold them she became very depressed started doing some pretty rebellious things. Suddenly she became a child we did not know, just grumpy and sad all the time. So finally after months and months of this I took her out to dinner just the two of us and had a real heart to heart talk with her. Well come to find out her passion for horses runs much deeper than either Paul or I ever gave credit to. She was just missing her "babies" very much, and just wishing we hadn't sold them. I asked her if she would consider looking for a new "baby", that we couldn't just go and get the other ones back. Of course the idea of a new "baby" perked her up, however the idea of her "babies" being gone forever was a bit unsettling to her. About a year ago she began mucking stalls and working horses for a woman, named Beverly, on the outskirts of town. I guess we thought her work and Beverly's horses would be enough for her, but we couldn't have been any more wrong on that. So about 3 weeks ago we began looking for a new "baby", and found a beautiful little filly. She is not quite a year old, as she is a May baby. Kaitlin has not yet chosen a name for her. She wants to work with her for a bit and see if a name will come to her that will fit the filly. Anyway, to make a long story short Kate is a very happy camper, and she is looking forward to working with the filly. Hooray, the old Kate is back. Thank you God, Dave Clark, and Beverly we couldn't have done it without all of you. To view more pics of the filly & Kate you can go to: http://perchalskifamilypics.blogspot.com
