Thanks Zen, I still can't believe it! Well, he will have four legs, a long face, a mane and a swishy tail - but he'll probably be more cart-horse than the fancy horse I could've afforded if I hadn't drank away for decades and lost a lucrative career.
But, I'll love him just the same and I'm excited beyond belief. Plus, the positive thing being, we can only afford one horse's upkeep, so purchasing a less fine, more cobby/hunter type (instead of the finer types I was used to) means that my husband will also be able to ride him, as he wont be over the horse's weight. He'll have to learn to ride first, though!
