Yay for Blake!

I got the best news this afternoon. Blake passed his pre-purchase exam with flying colors and will be on his way to his new home tomorow morning. He'll be living in North Carolina with a really nice lady named Ann. She plans on eventing him and have a lot of fun with him. When she tried him she couldn't stop giving him kisses and spoiling him. He's such a nice horse to be around, I'm sure I'm nuts for selling him! Anyway, he was vetted at one of the toughest vet hospitals on the east coast. This is the link to the clinic: http://www.vaequine.com:80/
The Doctor that did the exam was Dr. Kent Allen. He's worked regularly with the US Equestrian Team and rarely passes any horses in their PPEs. Blake was there for 3 hours and was such a champ about everything. The only thing they found that was of any importance was that his front feet have thin soles. Not anything I wouldn't expect given the fact that his feet are conformationally very flat. Dr. Allen told the buyer there was no reason she shouldn't buy Blake! Michelle said she could hardly believe the vetting was so easy!
Anyway, we are all excited and wish Ann much luck with Blake!
In other news....our new horse, "Ludington" ran second tonight. This was the first time we've ran him. He's been in our barn for about 6 weeks if I remember correctly. His owner seemed happy with this race and hopefully next time he'll win!
