Day 1

I went out to the barn this morning and went into the tack stall and got the grooming box and lead line. I looked over to his stall and X was all the way in the back of the stall, what a silly horse. He was very happy to see me and walked right up to me and let me attach the lead line to his halter.

He was in quite a hurry to get outside, he just wanted to go say hi to the other horses, and he got to, but Lightning didn't seem too happy to have him in the pasture with him and Twilight. Something tells me X may be at the bottom of the herd, although the herd is going to shrink in about a day or two since, Lightning and Twilight will be leaving, but then he will get to meet his new buddy Indy, the 16 hand Thoroughbred coming on Sunday, how exciting, X is going to have a new friend.

He did pretty well on the lunge line and his trot and canter are just gorgeous. Im looking forward to riding him within the month of January. He is going to be fun, and I can only imagine how beautiful he will look in the Spring when his winter coat sheds away. And Oh my thats going to be a lot of horse hair to clean up. :)

X Calibur's First Night In The Barn

The Drive home from picking X was pretty uneventful, no problems what so ever. It was a long-ish drive but it was well worth it. As soon as we pulled into the driveway there was a round of whinnies from Lightning and Twilight welcoming the new arrival. X Calibur whinnied right back.

X Calibur went into his stall and started chomping away on his hay right away. Lightning and Twilight got brought into the barn and Twilight and X hit it off right away, no problems. That is until I brought X out to take a picture and take him over to meet lightning, then Twilight decided she wanted to follow, and busted down the wall between her and X's stall, such horse power in such a small and young horse. X was a bit surprised to see her out there, but eventually ignored her.

After the whole ordeal with Twilight, The other two were put out in the pasture and I was forced to put X into Lightning's stall since I couldn't exactly put him back in his stall since there was wood all over the place. The light's went out and they were all happy.

Overall a pretty calm night for X and I.
