So guess what......we have good news! We vet checked our mare that we were interested in and she passed! Her name is Vixen and she is a beautiful 15.2hh bay mare. She is an ex trotter and is trained to harness so will be great with a little more training for pulling our wagon. The best thing about her is her temperament! She is a lovely quiet type and she learns fast. Desensitizing her will be a smooth process as we can already clap around her face and wave things around her without so much as a blink. She isn't saddle broken but that may be a special project of mine.... She is 10 years old and is a real sweetheart, very trusting and most of all calm. Can't wait to do some natural horsemanship with her. I know we will all be good mates.
She arrives at our free grazing in Hunua next week (thank you to Stephen and Naomi as well as to Genna and Kerrin Revell to their offer of free grazing for us also! You are all incredible).
I will post some pics of Vixen now but I promise there will be MANY more to come :)
Isn't she beautiful?
Blessings!

She looks great, Sarah. If she's anything like my trotters, she will not object at all to being ridden.
