Meet Tim!

My new horse!! His show name is Still Time - barn name Tim :) He is a 15 year old, 16.2 hand English Thoroughbred. He was imported a while back for an amateur client of Kyle Carter's... She has one other horse and is going through a n-a-s-t-y divorce, hence why she has to sell Tim. Kyle has only had him in training for one week, which is why he isn't in the best condition. His tail also wants to make me cry, but hey, hair grows back (It was chewed off by the yearling he goes out with). 

He was the first horse I rode yesterday in FL and I loved him from the get go. He has 25 prelims under his belt, he's incredibly loving and sweet, has gobs of experience, etc. I included the video of my ride on him - feel free to skip most of the flatwork, AKA the first 9 minutes basically. He got vetted today and will hopefully be here on Sunday night! I got crazy lucky in that we ran into a working student from Louisville at the Holling's barn and she is coincidentally coming home on Sunday with one open spot in her trailer!! YAY :)





Awkward, but he's still SO CUTE

Sorry for the screenshot, but he's pretty B.A. - With Kyle Carter at Training

I'm not sure he can handle Training height... ;)

It's love <3
