In which horse shopping takes a not so surprising turn and I buy a foal

I know, I know, buying something already going makes so much more sense. I said this time I was going to buy the unicorn that already does all the things, but nope, I am no good at taking my own advice. I wrote out an entire long saga of a post justifying this decision, but meh, you know what...if you've been here any amount of time me buying a Welsh Cob foal is probably about a 1/10 on the scale of Big Surprises :) 

What you really need to know: I like ponies. I like baby ponies. I like bay Welsh Ds with chrome. So I got one. He's cute. There are photos.

Is already a unicorn, can learn to do all the things later

He's named Trademark. I probably won't decide on a barn name until I meet him. He's currently just over a week old. His pedigree is like so:

Castleberrys Aeres! We all remember her lovely self from Jen at CobJockey. Little guy should have lovely movement for my future dressage goals

I had been on a waiting list for a while and exercised all the self control by passing in 2021 and 2022, but when I ended up with an option for this guy it felt right.

The logistics of him living halfway across the country mean that I'll be waiting a while yet to meet him in person. Luckily his breeder has provided tons of pictures to share.

Ready to event, such a huge ditch and brave pony :)

I told Bridget she's adopting a mini me this fall. I have a feeling she'll approve.
