Rhapsody and Waverly Fall horse sale

 And our horse family got bigger ! 

Luke and I went to the Waverly horse sale this fall, with Rhonda. Rhonda bought 3 Gypsy Vanners- well 1 purebred stud and 2 crossbreed fillies. 1 of which she offered to me and I bought her from Rhonda then. 

Luke also had great luck and got himself a nice broke QH gelding.  So we all came home with awesome horses! So let's see pics!  

 

I named her Rhapsody soon as we met. And she is a doll! Gypsy and Quarter horse cross.  She was listed in the catalog but had wrong number sticker on her, making her appear as a stud colt in the catalog and she went cheap. However Rhonda got that mixup sorted out. Rhonda had bought her cuz she wanted the buckskin paint filly she'd already bought to have a friend and not panic.  But really didn't want another horse so was eager to sell. And it all worked out, cuz for years I'd been telling Rhonda that if I was gonna buy a Gypsy Vanner I'd rather buy one from her. And then it actually happened! 

And here's Rhonda with her filly, now named Tawny 

Tawny is staying here till Rhonda gets her colts weaned. She's very cute, but her personality is rather stand offish,  and she has no qualms about kicking/ striking anything she doesn't like so it's a bit hard to trust her. Though I'm trying to make friends she's not as friendly as the other 4 colts here. Her and Shanti are always duking it out who's boss- must be a Buckskin filly thing lol. And poor Rhapsody who towers over everyone, is bottom of the herd.

And I think Rhapsody might be blue roan instead of black- she has alot of white mixed in and her coat looks so much like Tango and Kaz's and they were both roan.  I guess I will know for sure in the spring! 

And then Luke and his QH, now named Anduril.. 

I love seeing how much fun he's having with this horse
