Sold the pony....
So.... chapter closed. Nanza is back at the ranch, getting her vet check today. If she passes she's sold. I'm a bit sad, because Nanza was a great mare and I dislike seeing her go. We all do, even the ranch owners were a bit miffed. But we have both ehr parents still and a sister, so there's plenty of Nanza's blood to go around still.
On top of that she's going to some awesome people, who will give ehr a lot of attention. They want to make quiet trail rides and maybe occasionally compete a little in reining and western pleasure. She's going to be the family pony!
People came to check her out last thursday and almsot immediatly fell for her. Despite having looked all over the coutnry at several horses, they really liked Nanza.
They rode here, and all was well, I got a bunch of compliments for how well she was behaved and how lightly she responded to the aids, which was all good. The next morning they called Henk with an offer and bought horse and saddle in one go.
Saturday they came to pick her up and brought back little Noble. Who isn't so little anymore, only between his ears.
Some pictures of the pony that haven't been posted before... ^_^
Subsequently, Noble decided he should make a grant entrance. He'd bene good the whole trip and decided to leap over the front bar of the trailer upon arrival and thus when we opened the trailer up found him laying in the very front of the trailer on his back. That's some yoga skillz right there. Luckily we got him out quickly and he was amazingly unharmed. Not even a scratch on him. He wasn't even sore the next mroning... silly bugger...
