They are Legal.....well almost

"Dusty's" official name is: Driften Up Dust...... Cow Horse Prospect


I would direct Dusty towards anything cow horse related. She is one I wouldn't hesitate to take to the show ring. She's not pushy, she's easy going, not trying to be "king of the hill", she loves attention and tries very hard to please.

Then there's ..........

"Tink" aka Driften Chub..... HUS / H/J prospect


Both are for sale, should anyone be interested. Driften Chub will make a great hunter jumper. Long legs, big butt, nice neck and a long smooth stride. I believe she has a lot of potential to do really well to go HUS. Very well built with the Go attitude.

Now I'm waiting for the paperwork to come back complete for the BC. And they will be good to go! If anyone is interested, please contact me privately at my email addy.

Well I finally got it done

The first time ever. I got the babies registered! What a feat though. Being as it is something new to me, it was a learning experience even. But boy, am I relieved.

I also called the vet, who will be out on Monday, weather permitting, to 1. geld Cotie, 2. pull his wolf teeth, 3. pull Coggins and 4. put my beloved Rottie Heidi to sleep.

More about Heidi in a seperate post.

For Sale - $1,500.00

Genetically tested as a palomino. A/A, e/e however, she is going gray I believe.

"CC" is registered AQHA, NFQHA and FQHA. She's 14.2hh

Her registered name is Foothills Cappuccino

Her pedigree is listed on All Breed (click on link)

She's not been started yet, but will be this spring - fall. She's used to kids running around like screaming banchees, cats, chickens, etc. She isn't spooky but will be "alert" if the killer bag goes flying across the field. She's at ease with other horses, foals, mares and geldings. CC leads, loads, does all the normal typical stuff she should, all but had someone sit on her and ride. She is currently a 3 yr old. Ready to start your way. Good mind and solid feet, doesn't crib, bite, kick or charge, easy to handle on the ground.

If interested email me privately at my email address.

Cotie

This is my stallion Cotie, each of these pictures were taken today. Of course it has been raining off and on since yesterday. So please excuse the muck.

Cotie weighs in now at 969 lbs and is somewhere around 15hh. I'd like to see him bulked up a bit and of course fully shed out. I've put him on that Gold As Sun stuff to see if it makes any difference in his coat color. I'll post the results after the tub is gone and his coat is fully blown.

He's finally developing that chisled jowl of a stallion, I think I see it anyway. Now he may not have an A list pedigree, he may not have what one would call eye appeal, since beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

In my opinion, he has matured into a fine looking horse. What do you think?

Proud? Why Yes I Am!

I was accused of being "proud" of my horse Cotie once. Ya know, I have to agree, after much deliberation and thought, I admit, yes I am proud.

Cotie came here when he wasn't quite 4 months old, he got shipping sickness shortly after he arrived that quickly turned into full blown pneumonia.

Fast forward to about his 2ND yr. I decided to sell him to someone who really wanted him to service her own mares, since my fencing seriously lacked the security it needed for an intact stallion. Well, things didn't work out as well as I had hoped. In fact, things didn't work out at all. After him being there for about 8 months, I brought him home. He had lost a significant amount of weight and hadn't grown much if at all.

Well, he has been back home for a year now. His temperament remains the same as it always has been. He's a pretty "Steady Eddie" in that department. According to the new tape, he weighs 969 lbs. My height stick is in two pieces currently, so I used the tape, according to it, he's at a flat 15 hh. However, I think he's taller then that, I don't think I used the tape correctly. Neither here nor there, he looks pretty good now. One can no longer feel the every vertebra or all ribs. I can see muscle AND fat. It was a long year of recovery, one that I am SO glad is over. Cotie has had a rough start in life. So to say, "She's proud?" Why, yes, I guess I am.

Cotie has 2 foals due to hit the ground this summer. One will be for sale, the other is already sold in utero. He will be gelded here shortly as I would rather him being out in the open enjoying life, seeing the sights and going on trail rides with me.
