Another mouth to feed

Wifey and I went up to VT to look at a Mustang Pinto cross. Only reason I agreed is that there was some Mustang in the horse!
Wife really liked the horse so she bought her.
She is a 7 year old 14.3hh tri color pinto and she is really pretty. So now I have to get another pen system and a run in shed for her. This girl is just such a neat horse and as funny as the Vin man. I'm pretty sure they will hit it off in short order and the old owner of the pinto thinks so too. She said that Mercedes always falls for the geldings and is a bit of a flirt. Should be interesting to see how they react when they meet. That is why I am getting another pen so they can meet and be seperate at the same time. Then when they get used to each other I can take the 2 pens and make 1 large paddock for them to share.
Also got a McClellan saddle to try out. Nothing fancy, just a cheap one. Looks like it will fit Vin well and on the saddle stand it does seem comfortable. When the weather decides to clear up and we don't have sunny days Mon through fri and rain and snow Sat and Sun, I'll saddle Vin up and see what he has forgot over the last month of no rides.
