3/17/17 The second trip to Mayo, Mark and Jayden had a road trip planned. They went from Mayo for testing and then went on to North Dakota. The two of them were on an adventure
taking a road trip out to Bismark North Dakota for a horse sale. I thought it would be some nice father and daughter quality time. Jayden has been doing her research and has had big plans to purchase another project horse. I personally thought she has her hands full with a seasoned barrel horse that she will be getting ready for rodeos, a 4 year old in training, and a weanling that needs training. My thoughts were to buy in the fall and work with a project horse in the winter months and sell in the spring. She researched the sale and the horses, and convinced Dad to go. She would spend her own money on the horse. She told me the horses were selling high. They were shiny and fancy. She found one horse that had good bloodlines, but he was in a back pen, scruffy, dirty, and head down. She said he looked thin and sad. The owner didnt even take the time to throw him some hay or brush off the mud. He sold low and Jayden could afford him. That is the horse she brought home and eventually named him "Moose". He came from close to Canada. She arranged a ride home with Meiers' and I later went to pick him up 2 1/2 hours away. Moose is young and green and she will have a project on her hands.
