Horse Shopping Update!!!

I woke up this morning to a text from E saying that Jekyll's trainer needed to push back trying him until tomorrow... BOO. So, our appointment is at 1:00 and I'll make sure to post videos and pictures tomorrow night! Hillary and I actually got to watch him go at River Glen over the weekend, and I have to say that I was impressed. However, he was only going Starter and has a rather questionable past with lots of stops and rails on his record. I have accepted the fact that he is probably not going to be my next horse, but it can't hurt to try him!

In other news, E and I are working on scheduling a trip to Florida! Kyle Carter has four horses lined up for us to look at :)!!!! The most promising candidate goes by Apollo, and I'm obsessed. I want him. He has been competed and brought up the levels by an adorable 14 year old girl, which makes his story even better in my opinion. He is definitely the most promising candidate we have found so far and I am incredibly excited to go see him! Fingers crossed that he doesn't sell before we make it down there!
