42. Got a Perch last fall - she's a piece of work

Wed Feb 27, 2013, 07:50 PM

Feb 2013

Bought her at sale, fellow said, she's kind of too slow for my gelding. I hitched her and pulled some logs, she had me all over the field. Felt like I spent the day wrestling a bull.

She'll be bred to a Freisan, they make the most beautiful stock you've ever seen. Going back next week for a Belgian gelding to match my Belgian mare. I'd like a matched team, but boy, does he have to be pretty, cuz Angel sure is.
