My new horse... Oops.

[PapaFrita]

The Ginger Beastie.

Now off the market and to all intents and purposes MINE; Owner wants him to have a loving home, which he has with me, and I can't afford to buy a horse of his quality (we're jumping 1.30m in training every week) and of course PF isn't going to be jumping for a while.... so we did a deal.

Sorry for rubbish pic. Was hoping to get some jumping pics but they'll have to wait until tomorrow (if I can find someone to take them!)

 

[Vicki_Krystal]

i though you wasnt going to buy the Antifaz???!!!

Bad papa frita!

 

[joeanne]

congrats!
it's nice when things go well!

 

[carys220]

PF!!!!! I'm sure you knew it would come to this....

Looking forward to seeing lots more pics of him!

What are his stats?

 

[PapaFrita]

I wasn't going to! Owner offered him to me for nothing a while back, but I couldn't afford to keep him then. Now I CAN afford to keep him and one day I'll pay for him...

 

[PapaFrita]

Thank you

He's a WB, around 16hh, 8 years old, used to be a right sh:t but is now the BEST ride

NEVER stops, will jump off any stride (just as well!!) We're jumping 1.30m in training (and I'm a big old wuss!!) and starting 1.10 at a show at the end of the month.

 

[carys220]

Good luck for your show! I bet you can't wait

I'm so happy for you!

 

[PapaFrita]

Actually, I'm bricking it, but excited as well. I've never jumped that high in competition!

 

[carys220]

You'll be fine, I'm sure he'll take you round safe....I like horses like that. I used to have a little welsh pony who would know when I was nervous and would stop at the jumps. I then started riding my mum's fell pony who would just pelt round the jumps without a care for what I was doing!

 

[JadeWisc]

YAY PF!!!!!!!!!!

I had no idea you were considering owning him!

Congrats! This will give you something to do when PF is being a mommy

 

[Enfys]

Not oops at all. Very pleased for you.
Have you told PF that she is no longer an only horse?

 

[moneypit1]

FANTASTIC news! I am soooo happy for you. It was mean't to be. xx

 

[Hullabaloo]

That's fantastic - he is so stunning.

 

[Halfstep]

Brilliant news! Antifaz is fantastic. You'll have such fun with him!

[tabithakat64]

Yay, that's fantastic news, I love Antifaz, he's so gorgeous.

 

[KatB]

Fab news. Can his mane be pulled now?!!!!!

 

[annunziata]

WWHOOWW Go PapaFrita so happy for you!!

 

[LauraBR]

I am just thrilled for you PF and think you thoroughly deserve him!!!

I remember very well your struggles with him a few years ago as, if you remember, I was going through very similar with Fal! YOU made him the fantastic horse he is now, it's because of you that he rides the way he does now- I wish you the very best of luck with him xx

 

[dieseldog]

I'm very very jealous - the cost of shipping just made it impossible for me.

 

[PapaFrita]

I only started thinking seriously about it when I got my new job....
Back to being skint again now!!

[ruscara]

I can't tell you how delighted I am to read this! It's the best, best news ever! You so deserve him, and it's just brilliant that it has worked out for you and for him!

 

[PapaFrita]

Thanks, I think I will
