I just got off the phone with my riding instructor, and it's official!! I have a horse!!!!!!! :lol::D:):shock::lol::lol::lol: Oh my goodness, I'm excited and scared and just shaking with with all this emotion, lol. I guess that I was just sure that it was going to be a while before anything happened, and then boom! perfect horse falls in our laps, and of course he's coming home to me.

She's going to call his trainer and let her know that I'm taking him, and hopefully we can have him home on Sunday.

Thank you all! I've been so jittery today, my hands shook for probably three or fours hours after I got off the phone with my instructor confirming that I was going to buy him. I know I'm going to have a hard time sleeping until he comes home I'm just so excited!

Alas, the only decent picture I have of him at the moment is just a head shot from my iPhone:

Hopefully he'll be home Sunday. It seems like that's such a long ways away, but it's just another day until I can see him again. In the meantime, I've been occupying myself by looking at his picture every 5 minutes and window shopping for horse stuff.

Just got off the phone with my instructor... the owners have not returned any calls since Friday, and we don't know when we will hear back from them. The trainer, my instructor and I were all looking to move him today, but now we're in limbo.:cry: I just keep hoping that we'll hear back soon and mayybbbee we can get him late afternoon, but that probably won't happen.

His new halter and lead are just sitting on my kitchen counter, it makes me sad every time I walk past them...

say no such thing! :evil::wink: I think we're just waiting on them to give the final approval so that we can move him. They knew that I was coming to try him. I think that I made it pretty clear when I tried him that they should expect a positive answer the next day, even asked about when we could move him... but still we're in limbo waiting for them to finalize it. I just hope that they went away for the weekend or something and just haven't seen the call yet ...

Ok, I thought that I had updated via the mobile site today, but apparently that didn't go through.

But anyways!

HE CAME HOME TODAY!!!!!!!
Yep, got the call at about 9:30 this morning that the deal had gone through. My awesome instructor/BO being who she is (and the trainer being her daughter ;)) went and picked him up this afternoon without me. Sad that I didn't get to see him actually coming home, but much more happy that he is actually here, and I can go ride him tomorrow morning. My usual lesson group actually wanted to switch to the morning, so they have no idea that I've sprung a new horse on them! I can't wait to see their faces...:lol: I'm planning to get here at least 30 minutes early so I can fawn over him and get papers and checks signed. Another boarder who had already heard I was trying him out was there again today when the BO left to go for him, and was wanting to see him when he got back- being a barn full of mostly pre/teen girls, I'm sure he's going to be fawned over lots and lots in the next few days, lol.
