Meet Svenna!

Looking for apples!

She is a total sweetie, but with this really cute cheeky personality. She is a 6 coming 7 year fjord, 14.2, and of lighter type for a fjord, although not light by most standards haha. She's had a lot of trail training and done some "extreme trail challenge" type stuff too, but otherwise pretty green in the ring. I feel totally comfortable with her, and just like to hang out with her.

But she is quite different than my old ride!!

Pretending to be dressagy

The field she is currently living in has barbed wire fence, and I am stressing so hard that she will get tangled up during the night before she gets delivered tomorrow. Of course I am also stressing about everything going well for the trailer...no accidents etc. I can't help it, I'm a worrier!!

But.....the biggest, most important question.....should I cut her mane in the traditional fjord way?? I like that it looks neater, and there are a lot of possibilities. I haven't had too many horses where I can leave the mane long and flowing though , so that's sort of intriguing too. 

Many mane possibilities!!!

I like some of the snazzier mane hairdos, but I can't tell how much upkeep that takes. Sid's mane is normally halfway down his neck before I get around to pulling it lol. 

Sid Update: We pre-vetted him and it went great....yay! He got professional photos and video today, and I guess there is some interest. I'm still so sad about it, I cry every night, but honestly I think that having the new horse as a distraction is going to be really good for me. 

So anyway, hoping that everything goes smoothly and I can update tomorrow that Svenna is home and doing well. We'll see!!!!
