So after a few months of searching for the next perfect horse, we've found him! I'm done having my own two legged babies for now, but I'm ready for some 4 legged ones! While perusing horse classifieds, horse magazines, and google search engines a man came up to the Hay Lot(my hubby and I own the local hay lot and sell alfalfa and grass hay) and purchased a few bales. A few days earlier I stopped at a ranch after driving past a little buckskin colt for months and decided to see what they were asking for him. He was a driftwood bred colt, but was already sold. I got in my truck feeling defeated. Then this man showed up, when I asked what he was feeding out to, he told me that he had driftwood bred mares, stallions, and babies on the ground. And said there was lots of color. He asked if my hubby and kids and I would like to come out to his ranch and look at his horses, and since I never pass up a chance to look, we went that afternoon. We spent about 3 hours looking over his 150 head of horses. And the hubby and I came across this mare with a big ole buckskin colt at her side.
A week later I returned to look at a few of the horses I had noticed and written down to take a second look. He had already weaned the colts and fillys and had them in a pin. I saw the buckskin colt again, and I knew I was hooked. He's a big boned colt with lots of eye appeal, great conformation, and bloodlines to boot. The perfect colt to get me back into showing since I went of my hiatus since my first daughter. Here's a picture of him at only 2 months old. He's of course started getting his black legs and his mane and tail are darker too.

We're going tomorrow to pay for him.
And to make this a question. How did you meet your horse(s)? Include pictures as I LOVE looking.
