National Treasure

[Serendipity]

Well some of you know not many (thank God ;-) ) that I while at nationals got the hairbrain idea to go to the auction on Thur. Night.

and just because its me of course one poor scared to death gelding comes in and acts up no one wants to bid so knowing I should not have brought a 3horse trailer with only 2 horses bids and wins :shock: :shock: :shock: for lets just say a very good price,I did not know his name age anything about him just that they were basicly giving him away

so after the auction I figure better go see what I bought

Well turnes out he's a grandson of Hilachas! :shock: and only 6yrs old :shock: he seems friendly but really scared and was handled a bit rough at some point

here's his bloodlines see I knew you'd ask ;-)

Looks like a very worth while project horse Nicole. Good luck...he's gorgeous. And KUDOS to you with a big heart and one extra stall in the trailer.

I'm glad for him and you that you rescued him and he gets on so well with your other boy.

[Linda Y]

Wow, great looking and great pedigree!
Hope you can win his confidence. If nothing else, he makes Calco happy!

[Serendipity]

I think he will be just fine Heath like him and we've ridden him once just seems like he know nothing he's coming around quick you know reconise him by spring 8-)

I wondered about that horse when he went through. Please keep us posted about him. He definitely was not happy that day. I will be interested to learn how he comes along and what kind of horse he turns out to be.

They look good together, glad they both have a buddy. Good luck with him and keep us posted.

I'll do my best, he's really head shy right now but did let me catch him in the pasture tonight I put a rope around his neck then work with his head I hate leave the Halter on but its a must right now, Cindy don't know that he'll make a show horse but I'll bring or post pix of him on the trails soon as I find the box with my camera I'll post better pixs :roll:
I hate moving

Sometimes the projects turn out to be the best horses. 8-) Good luck and congrats.

[PASOFAN]

What a good heart you have, he looks like a nice horse, hope he comes around.. Some love goes along way!! Congratz!!

More pics too, would be great to see him in the sun!!

[Mellifluous]

Very cool!

I am happy that you found a great companion for your stallion, and a beautiful one at that.

I bet you will bring him out of his shell in no time and will have an awesome horse on your hands.

If you buy it you will fill it!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

His is gorgeous!!! And a Hilachas grandson. WOW. We have a mare with Hilachas three times but much further back and she's a serious keeper and superlargo horse.

Congratulations!!! How great for your boy to have a buddy. Our stallion was so much happier he found a friend.

Sometimes I think they are a bit tooooo comfortable and happy!!! :lol: :lol:
