Heath came home super late one morning (he already gets home at midnight). He said he was trying to find a place for our new pet. We can barely handle Sarge ... I was curious what KIND of new pet. It was a horse!!! Heath already named her Dodger, because she was dodging traffic. Addi just about died! Both kids went to school telling all their friends about their new pet!!! Addi even wore her boots, to "set the mood", of having this new pet.
DPS got a call for a horse running on the highway. Heath and his Sargent answered the call. Heath being the cowboy he is, was able to get the poor colt and lead her to the side of the highway. For 2 miles, Heath and this colt walked to the nearest stables to see if she belonged to them, as his Sargent drove slowly next to them.
This colt didn't belong to this stable so he asked if he could keep her there for the night and come back in the morning to speak with the owner. "Lucky" (Addi named her) stayed over night at this ranch and in the morning Heath went to speak with the owner to find out what happens next to this poor horse. After talking about the options, Heath and the owner made arraignments for Heath to come back on Thursday to pick her up and we would take her to a ranch that Heath's uncle has. As Heath was leaving the property, a truck stopped him. After talking to this gentlemen about the colt he found, it turns out this colt belongs to another little 9 year old girl who's training to be a barrel rider. This colt comes from champion blood and is worth $10,000!! The owner followed Heath's tracks to the ranch.
Addi was so sad and to be honest, I was too! How doesn't want to give their daughter a "pony". Oh well. It's best that he be ridden for what he was bred to be! I do think he'd have a better life with Addi as his owner, but I may be a little bias.
