And thanks to everyone else. My wife just left to take her to her new home.
you'd think when a trainer had a horse they no longer wanted, they'd give $1k to the person stepping up, not the opposite.

There's some wear and tear on those joints ... great pics. New life of being spoiled by three horse-crazy little girls? Heaven!

Be sure to post the picture of her with her new family, when her mane is braided with multicolored ribbons, she's wearing a pink hat, and is being ridden bareback with a halter by two of the kids at a time :-)
