After we put Versace down a few weeks back I thought I would pull Poncho out of retirement and just enter him till Braska is running at futurities. So, we go him up, legged him up, did some injections and started running him. I ran him 6 times=3 3D times and 3 NTs because of ducked barrels. I decide he can stay semi-retired this time and be a lesson horse. Then began the unpleasant search for a new prospect for me. I wanted something age 3 to 10 that was not started on the barrels but really broke! Brandon and I prefer mares, not just to bred later but I get along with hormones better than geldings. I tried not to be a complete pedigree snob but I really can not help it. Oh, and it had to be a bargain!!!! I looked at 7 horses......6 were lame(seriously peps), 1 was a midget(tape measure people, no guessing!) and 1 was the mare we bought. My math is correct the midget was lame too! One of my best friends Jennifer Zeller (the South Dakota Cowgirl) knows the girl who had her for sale and like everyone right now she need to sell one and get some cash flow! Jennifer told Jamie that she knew a perfect home for the mare...My house!
She is by Special Show and out of a daughter of Moon Lark. Special Show is by Special Effort and we all know how much I Love Special Effort. She is big and sorrel with some roan and a coon tail! She has the typical Special Effort mare disposition... not real trusting and bitchy at first but then they come around and love you! My favorite mare Gucci and this mare look so much alike. They even have the same marking on their faces. I did not know what the mare's name was when I brought her home so I named her Vanity. Her registered name is Ima Special Lark(we will have to see about changing that...sounds like a western pleasure gelding's name.) I think she has been around the barrels a bit like trotting them or something. I want her to go the left and change a couple things about the way she is broke, but I can hardly wait to get her bulked up, in shape and going!
