Good bye Jake!

Well our horse ownership was very short (6 days). Courtney's trainer Coral discovered that we had been lied to severely about Jake. He is actually a Thoroughbread and is tatooed to prove it and at least in his late 20's. We were told he was a breeding stock paint and 17 years old. We got to keep the tack that came with him and got most of our money back so in the end it all worked out ok. The girls were sad but understand that this was definately not the horse for us. We are thankful that Coral came and took a look at him and will be much more selective and not rush into purchasing again. We are still looking for the perfect starter horse for the girls and hope to find one by spring.
