Getting a new horse so I needed more fencing


This River (aka Kip) he is going to be my new horse.  He has been at the Nebraska Humane Society for awhile now and a wonderful lady and trainer named Colleen has been working with him to make him a good trail horse.  He is about 6 years old and is a Spotted Saddle Horse (we think).  He has a wonderful running walk like Jordan does and is about 14.2-14.3hh and is shorter then both Jordan and Dancer.  I went to see him after Colleen and Tammy and Terri and other friends told me about him and suggested he might be just what I wanted...a nice short gaited horse.  He is everything they said and more.  I am so excited to get him.

I hadn't planned on getting another horse until I sold Dancer, but things happen and that was River.  So now I am going to have 3 horses and 2 run-ins.  Not good, so I needed to put up another paddock and a run-in shed.  I quickly bought a Wright Bros. shed and really like it.  I think it will work out fine for him.  Now I just needed fencing......


So...called the fencing guy.....never called back......called another fencing guy and he didn't call back, so I went and bought the fencing stuff and did it myself!  Not bad if I do say so myself :-)  


Now that the shed is in, the fence is up and River is trail ready, I am picking him up this coming Monday and bringing him home.  I am so excited and happy!  He is so sweet and really wants to please, I am hoping he is my forever horse!
