Bahloo!





I'm getting so excited. This is my horse Bahloo. These pics were taken yesterday. She has left the training ranch in Minnesota and is on her way back to Batavia, Ohio. She will be there until next Thursday (the 16th) when she will make her way to Lisa and Jim's. I'm still absolutely in awe that this horse is mine! I can't wait to spend some time with her.

Cathryn, how exciting! She looks huge and gorgeous! How big is she?

Cathryn said...

About 16 hands.. and growing. She is only three. She will grow until she is between five and six years old. Her mommy was a Clydesdale (17 hands)and her daddy was a Shire (18 hands).

So the Army won't be mad when you don't go back to Mississippi? You'll want to stay here with her and not go back! I'm excited for you, I know you will love her.

I will want to stay there!! I am so excited I hardly stand it! I just have to keep in mind that by the time my leave is up, I will only have about 2 1/2 more months on my orders and I will be making 2more trips back in the meantime. Thanksgiving is going to be exciting! See you next week!

Bahloo's pretty(STill partial to Bay's myself thanks to Jazz) so that bay in the back of the last pic was gorgeous to me, but i love bahloo's face. She'll get a few more inches taller, i'll put a mature size at 17.2, anyone else wanna bet??? I've got three horses right now; Abby the paint, Jazzy the Arabian and Pheonix the solid Appaloosa(Still working on getting him home though.)
