Jayden likes to spend time searching horses on the internet. Usually she will show me a horse and I just look and shake my head with very little interest. I got burnt out on horse shopping and have dreaded the idea of having to go look for another horse. This ad Jayden showed me had a very good write up and pictures and videos. The owner was in Iowa, and I called and asked questions. I decided he was worth looking at and if I waited he would be sold. I kept telling Jayden not to get her hopes up. I was pretty skeptical. He kind of sounded too good to be true and I was determined to find out what was wrong. Jayden and I took the day and drove 3 hours to Cedar Rapids. We both rode Ace, a brown horse. He had a great disposition, very quiet and smooth to ride. He seemed to go at whatever pace you asked. He could slow trot and lope and yet pep up to run the barrel pattern. Jayden looked very natural on him and comfortable. The owner's were very kind and told us as much as they could. I realized this horse was not going to be for sale for long. He was a nice package. As we were leaving we discovered the owner's husband is the brother of my vet, Jessica. Small world, and someone as a reference. Jayden and I drove home in good spirits. Jayden was on cloud 9 with high hopes of a new horse of her very own. Jayden likes to spend time searching horses on the internet.
