So
last month I told everyone about the juggling I
started: I threw some things out there to see what kind of response I
would get if I offered Farrah for sale/lease/syndication/sponsorship on
Sport Horse Nation (Thanks!). I am not sure what kind of response I was
expecting, but let me say I was overwhelmed! In a good way; qualified
riders with a lot to offer contacted me from all over. I asked myself,
this is a pony, my pony, not a full sized horse, and I have all these
riders interested? It was so awesome and thrilling and kinda scary at
the same time.
I
had some
excellent offers, from 4* riders down to 15 year olds wanting to ride
their first preliminary......foreign and domestic riders. In the end, I
chose the rider who I thought would fit Farrah's personality and riding
style best and who impressed me with their professionalism. Even
though she couldn't come for a test ride due to a bum ankle, she sent
her good friend Lisa Barry (who did a great job on Farrah) to test ride
Farrah and called me that night with a proposal I could not refuse.
I
am so proud to say that Forrest Nymph, aka Farrah or
the Red Head, will be ridden by Sinead Halpin (SHE) beginning in
December. Farrah's former owner, Lynn Simpson, and breeder, Leslie
Feakins of Trevelyan Farm, are super excited as well. Black Dog Farm
(where Farrah resides) will miss her Highness, but we will have a great
team to cheer on this winter.
Thanks
so much to Lauren DeNeve for putting the excellent preliminary miles on
Farrah. A special shout out to Nataly Pacheco for helping me keep
Farrah ridden well and to Lauren DeLalla for helping make this
connection to
Sinead.
Go Red Head and Team SHE!
