This is our buckskin sabino filly, "April", now 3 1/2 weeks old. She's so pretty, but soooooo shy.

She's so sweet. Shy doesn't usually last forever.

Are you sure she won't fit in the car for a trip to OH? She's beautiful!! What are your plans for her?

[Bondama]

Well immediate plans are to get her over her shyness! Which, I'm working on slowly. Used to be we couldn't touch her at all, then she'd let me scratch her rump, now I've worked my way up her back over her withers to her neck/ears/jaw areas. She's coming along, but it's slow. I guess foals aren't like puppies are they?

Future plans are to show her halter in some of the local buckskin shows....we have a big one here each fall put on by the Mid Florida Buckskin Horse Assn. I donated a stallion season to them for their annual auction and for my donation, I get a free entry into their fall futurity, so she'll be it.

After that, I haven't decided. She could really go in any direction, except barrels (I think she'll be too tall). I'm leaning towards hunter/jumper or something along those lines. My 13 year old says that's HER filly, so I guess she'll decide when the time comes!!

I'm secretly hoping someone will make me an offer I can't refuse, quite frankly, and if that happens, I'll sell her.
