I bought Ariel last night

Postby PaulaO » Fri Jun 30, 2017 2:32 pm

Yep, it's legal. I've been riding her since September and in my heart she was mine. But I needed to make it official. Here is our first picture as official owner/equine overlord. Mind you, I had been at work, had the pre-purchase, wrote the check, had a lesson, and she had bodywork before. I was literally physically and emotionally exhausted. The universe has righted itself.

She passed the PPE with flying colors. She got a 1 out of 5 on the flexion, which is great considering she had 24 starts on the track and has been a schoolie for many years. Clean legs, good feet with nice heel. And a good girl.

This it be right.

Congratulations to you and Ariel! She sounds like an awesome girl. There is nothing better than a good chestnut TB mare (I know 'cause I have one too). :)
