I think this kinda sad somehow. My sister was lucky and managed to reunited her Morgan/Clydesdale mare with her just older full brother. Both are beautiful blood bays. They are so cute to watch; the brother is dotty for his sister, who is very independent and highly directive of him.<br />I'll help fund raise :)forever in blue jeans, Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05971214086040974793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-70782160315131034422010-03-27T08:05:46.868-05:002010-03-27T08:05:46.868-05:00Victoria, I thought of Silk and Siete as I was pon...Victoria, I thought of Silk and Siete as I was pondering this!<br /><br />It's more a matter of finances than anything else. This mare was very expensive when she last sold, and now she has more training than she did then. I would LOVE to have her join our family and of course feel we could offer her a special and forever home - I'm just putting this out there and trusting that she will end up where she needs to be. <br /><br />Of course if I had tons of available cash on hand I'd happily give it up for her! :)billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-82805386652547162552010-03-27T06:46:37.003-05:002010-03-27T06:46:37.003-05:00Billie - That's very exciting.

And I know that both of my horses are more complete and calm from being with each other. In fact, this morning, I was even wondering if I should breed Siete in a couple of years just to keep the line going as Silk is going to be 22 this April. I hope you seriously consider this idea.Victoria Cummingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267314663679137147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-25951383447277876492010-03-26T21:23:47.493-05:002010-03-26T21:23:47.493-05:00Keil Bay has one full brother who I have been look...Keil Bay has one full brother who I have been looking for over the past couple of years. They spent several years together before being trained.<br /><br />Our pony has a full sister who would make a fantastic driving partner for him, and I put the word out that if she is ever for sale we would want to know.<br /><br />I discovered Salina's daughter during one of my wild googling sessions. She had just sold when I got in touch with the trainer who was selling her for her owner. There were a flurry of emails back and forth as we realized that this daughter is very much like Salina, who is really a special mare. I've always attributed it to her losing her eye and traveling here from Germany but it must be more than that if she has passed it on genetically! <br /><br />I'd love it if it could work. The daughter actually looks like a cross between Keil Bay and Salina.billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-84123959646689977502010-03-26T21:07:17.983-05:002010-03-26T21:07:17.983-05:00I laughed out loud at the donkey escapades - too c...I laughed out loud at the donkey escapades - too cute !! How wonderful it would be to reunite Salina with her daughter and how rare - I know I'm a romanticist, but I sure hope it works out !! Would be interesting to see if they DO recognize each other.forever in blue jeans, Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05971214086040974793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-59177439777399551802010-03-26T18:00:08.386-05:002010-03-26T18:00:08.386-05:00I was thinking about Salina being a treasure last ...I was thinking about Salina being a treasure last night - thinking how lost I will be without her. <br /><br />Today the woman who bought Salina's last daughter emailed me to say she is selling her, and knew I would be interested.<br /><br />Salina's daughter looks much like her, but she is Keil Bay's size, and she's trained through 3rd level dressage and doing very well with the movements. She sounds so much like Salina it is uncanny, and as it turns out, she has lived with two miniature donkeys and loves them!<br /><br />I don't know if we can take this on right now, but from everything I've heard about this young mare, she would be the closest thing to Salina I'd ever find. And of course I'd be so curious to see if they recognized one another!<br /><br />If it's meant to be, something will happen to make it possible. But it blew me away that the email came this morning, after what I was thinking last night.billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-83220792193301693872010-03-26T17:50:16.907-05:002010-03-26T17:50:16.907-05:00I love the description of your ride and time spent...I love the description of your ride and time spent with your big boy. It's moments like those that make all the barn work worth it. And I also think that Salina is such a good girl to warn you when things go amiss in the barn at night.
