Then I would still do therapy work with people and animals so would rescue horses and ponies, yep just rescue and enjoy it !
I would also have a lare estate for the animals and people to come and enjoy and grooms to help me look after them all.
If you were going to buy me
If you were going to buy me any horse I wanted, I would have to do alot of searching. I would want a well shown (performance only in a western) mature stallion at least 15h with a very good temperament. Dun coloration would be a plus but not necessary.
My dad had a stallion with a wonderful temperament when I was a girl. I remember riding him bareback with 2 of my friends (all 3 of us at once). So, I would be very picky about temperament.
It could take me years to find exactly what I want :rofl After I found the stallion I would like to get some mares to complement him.
I love arabians. I already
I love arabians. I already own a buckskin 3/4 arabian and would love to have her mom and 1/2 brother HMH Sophie and TT National Traditio respectively.
But mostly what I think would be really cool is to be able to acquire the unwanted horses that just need some groceries and training and a bit of loving and get them to a point that they can just be good, reliable family type mounts.
Well Jane, since you are a
Well Jane, since you are a billionaire and you are buying, I would love to have a coal Black (NON FADING) Arabian stallion, homozygous for Black, not over 15 hands high, possibly a white star, but no other white. Extreme dishy Arab head. Of course if I were to go with big horses, I would have to have more land, a new barn, and then a small band of mares to keep him company. No Grays. Nothing over 15 hh. I do NOT like these new giants pretending to be Arabs. JMO
Oh dear...you asked for
Oh dear...you asked for it.
-A team of four matched driving Welshes
-A team of four matched driving drafts (probably Percherons, but I am less picky)
-A naturally (correctly! no pacey stuff) gaited 16hh+ TWH
-A naturally gaited Peruvian Paso
-A broodmare string (~5 or so) of perfectly conformed RID mares
-A really nice, well-bred ISH eventer/fox-hunter
-A really nice, well-bred Welsh D for dressage and driving- I'd take Cardi if he was for sale or another like him
-A string of Argentine Polo ponies or Criollos for polo and polocrosse
-A team of two matched driving Hackney Horses
-A really nice, well-bred QH that is trained for ranch work
-A few other nice, well-built saddle horses
I would then need a place to keep them all. My facility needs to include enough turnout areas for all horses (I don't keep horses in stalls). Also, a full sized indoor polo arena with premium footing plus a covered multipurpose arena, a covered dressage ring and one or two covered round pens. The multipurpose ring would need equipment for stadium jumping, driving courses, western gaming, gymkhana and any other thing I could need. Also on the facility, I want rehab equipment such as a swimming pool and a hyperbaric chamber.
Outside, I want a couple more large riding arenas, a dressage ring and a few round pens. I also want at least two perfectly groomed polo fields that are wide enough to double as polocrosse fields. I also need enough property to put up a traditional cross country course for 3-day eventing and a cross country driving course for CDE. I also need some acreage for my cattle so I can use my QH.
I want custom made saddles and/or harnesses for every horse that are perfectly fitted and balanced. I need several styles of cart for any kind of driving from your basic two-wheeled training to fanciest presentation carts and carriages including some really nice cross-country and marathon carts. I need a full range of polo mallets and one of those mechanical hitting cage horses grades your skills. I also need a functioning reproductive lab.
I could probably go on, but I think you are out of money at this point.
Oh well, in that case...In
Oh well, in that case...In addition to all of the above, I will take these horses who are currently for sale: an Arabian stallion named Capt. Han Solo and another named Celzeus; a little crossbred pinto mare named Kholored by Love; mares named TA Anabelle and TA Europe. I will need a big farm, ideally 100+ acres, ideally on the east coast, with an extensive network of trails. Various facilities would be nice, but I can also tailor it to what I want. I'm sure I'll think of more.
I can't find one online but
I can't find one online but in my head my dream horse is a blue eyed splash white brown, liver or silver Icelandic mare (ride and drive), one that goes without much effort and doesn't take much effort to ride. With my RA even that would probably be too much for me. Unless you include private medical treatment and all the best modern expensive drugs that the NHS can't afford in the package :grin:
Okay, there's a colt in
Okay, there's a colt in Australia I'd like to have and of course a HZ champagne mare bred to Cougar, a Chocklate Confetti mare that's ApHC-registered, a mare that's currently in TX, bred to my friend in VA's stallion, another mare that's currently preggers in OK but sent to the girl in TX and bred to the stallion she acquired when another friend of mine passed away a couple years ago (mare's for the hubby, foal is for me), uhm, a roany mare that's in VA bred to the girl in TX's PP stallion...that's it off the top of my head. Do I get to come back after doing some looking around? :rofl
Yes, you'd definitely be able
Yes, you'd definitely be able to brag you rode him...I remember when I got thrown up on Boomerang, and got led around while he was being cooled down at a show in Dublin waaaaay too many years ago. Didn't wash those pants for DAYS and boy did my mom catch it from me when she snuck into my room and snagged them. ~x( ~x( ~x(
Oh my gosh... any of
Oh my gosh... any of Innishfael's horses.
OR, with that much money, just genetically concoct me my dream horse. ;) I want a quarter horse the color of Elechtric LC but otherwise identical to my boy Blue(size, conformation, hair, mind, etc): http://www.facebook.com/KellysBlueKing
Please and thank you. ;)

Minis?? Not sure. To be perfectly honest there just are not that many that are as sound or as good (without photoshop/starving/clipping to the skin etc) that I would [i]have[/i] to buy them. And I do like my horses to look as good moving as they do standing still..... There are a number of Americans that I would buy from happily, Robin from Roko because she is as straight as a die-
Forgot to say, I would like one of Supa's stallion's babies, and ditto Banner. Particularly outlandish coloured ones!!!!
OK, over to you......[/quote]
:grin: :grin: :grin:
Im very honoured RF , thats a real compliment !! Im sure it can be arranged and to make it more desirable Ill tell you that I already own a mare o/o Roko Victory Lady Independance and she is in foal to Absolut for next year ... and Absolut will be covering one of Karinas mares in the near future so you can have one next year and one the year after lmao !!!!!!!!!!!
as for my choices ... thats a very hard question
...can you find a cremello that homozygous for tobi , hetro for splash and frame , carries one copy of silver , moves and looks like an arab in miniature ???

I so refuse to acknowledge that idea!! Not having many grey hairs either helps (and yes! it is NATURAL, I'm not hiding my grey hairs :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl )
Diane[/quote]
:rofl I didn't know hair came in any other color besides grey...I was born with it (well a grey spot in my black/seal brown hair)...been conpletely grey since my mid-20s...of course now most people just think I have platinum blonde hair....WRONG!
I will have to think on the ideal horse thing....I know I would love a matched pair of driving horses with a lovely white/gold carriage and can't forget the red/gold/black sleigh for winter travel...
I can't manage another horse
I can't manage another horse until after I sell one; no stallions either (bummer). I would like any of the Innishfael horses as well (Innishfael Oro and Innishfael Tribal are for sale, by the way). But I would prefer a mare from that program so I could breed her.
But if I had my druthers, and one already sold, I would want to find the big gray gelding bred by Ancientoaks. After being advertised to the highest bidder for one week, I made an offer and was turned down because the tax rebate would be higher if he were donated. Owner would not say where he was going and he's in the wind now.
If not him, I will take their bay filly out in California who is also for sale. If not her, I will take the bay A.O. breeze gelding out in Tennessee, who seems to be doing nothing. If not any of them, I will take a chestnut gelding here in Virginia, by Mannhattan out of an Arabian mare, who I inquired on after seeing him on Dreamhorse for $800.
