Borrowed Time
#132 Lightly Fleabitten
Gray Arabian Gelding. Large snip on nose (pink nose).
Appx. 13-15 yrs. Appx. 15 hands. Rides somewhat hot. Would require
an advanced intermediate rider.
This awesome boy
is now named Borrowed Time. (aka Pal). He will be heading to his
new home with Mom Jan sometime next week. He will never be placed
in another auction, another feedlot, another place where he is
just a number. He and Jan will travel down the sunny side of the
street together! Thank you so much Jan!
Update 2/7/00 - Folks, this horse should
never have been in a feed lot anywhere. Somewhere in his former
life this guy was a dressage or equitation horse. Our first ride
and he is doing pivots on the forehand, pivots on the hind, any
kind of lateral work I could remember to try......Backing practically
at a trot, step into a canter from a stop. What a gem.
Update
4/23/03 - Borrowed Time got stiff and older in January and
Feb of 2003. We were a little worried, but he is very fat with
many buddies to scratch and spend time with. My concern for him
was enough to schedule an evaluation with Dr Rick but I think
Time heard me make the call.
As the weather
has warmed so has his aching joints, he is roaming around the
pasture well away from the barn, at some points even cantering
with the herd when I call them for supper.
All things
considered ( he is 30 something ) this ole fella is doing great
and we love having him here. So looks like Time has another summer
of memories to make...Jan
