Mr. Darcy

So I got my new horse Mr. Darcy last night! He looks like he is just straight out of a movie! He is a 4 year old off the track thoroughbred. He is a 16.2 hh chestnut with a white stripe down his face, nice and tall for me :) He is just as sweet as can be and so handsome! He seemed to do well with the herd when we let him out last night. It is his first time being in an actual pasture with grass since most of his life was spent on the track and in stalls, so He will be in paradise! I can't wait to start working with him. I want to get back into natural horsemanship and really work towards gaining his trust and basically just starting from ground zero with him since he hasn't been exposed to many things. I am hoping to compete with him in jumping! I can't wait. I think we are going to be a perfect fit. He was definetly a God answered prayer. He is a great new project for my life right now. He came into my life at just the right time. Unfortunately, I did have to sell Brutus. I am going to miss him so much. He really was just the perfect horse. I hate that I had to sell him, but I just can't afford 2 horses and I really needed a horse who was a bit more versatile competition wise. Caroline, who sold me Mr. Darcy, is taking Brutus back to her farm in Aiken South Carolina and will try and sell him up there as there are a lot of small farms up there looking for nice quiet horses.

Things are changing all around me, and for once I think I'm actually happy about it.
