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.

She does, trust me. And everyone at the barn is happy she landed softly.

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).
