new racepony!

I’m insanely excited that I am now the owner of three raceponies! Toffy (Getoffmycloud) and Essie (Ess You Vee) have now been joined by Bella (Jerusalem Bells), the sweetest and most dainty little racer I’ve ever met. I was afraid my trainer, Donald, would have a heart attack on the spot when I told him I’d purchased another filly from this year’s annual CCRA auction. (last year, he was all about me buying a two-year-old filly, until he met Essie. he has since declared her the devil’s spawn and every time he rides her he insists he’s loading her on the next van to anywhere but here.) however, he took her out the morning after she arrived, and she earned his full approval: in his words, she’s “Toffy’s easy-goingness with Essie’s speed and the delightful addition of a sweet personality.” she’s got me half convinced to give up the sport horses and become a jockey just so I can ride her. is it bad that I’m practically drooling over the day she retires so I can have her on my show string??
