Coppersmith #900

Today, my friends handed me a plastic bag with 900 copper pennies and then I hauled Aragon to ride with Justin and Myles and Coppersmith and Doc to Molly Lake. The weather was perfect and the two horses had not seen each other since the Make Over. I had no expectations but assumed that there would be some whinnying between the Coppersmith and his longtime friend and teacher Aragon....I unloaded and Aragon walked over to Coppersmith - they touched noses and exchanged...things are fine...the ride was beautiful and when we returned each loaded nicely into their respective trailer. Life is good.

The story continues....after the auction, ...

I delivered Coppersmith to Justin Ripley of Sundance Resort here in Redfeather Lakes, Colorado. That evening Coppersmith gathered the string of dude horses and the next morning he had his debut as leader of the string...I am speechless....

Agent ORANGE and BIO-Security...EHV-1 and is there any place left where I can ride....

With the new developments around EHV-1 and the barns swinging their doors closed I was left high and dry in the mountains....then to my despair we also refrained from travelling to events with horses...But today I found yet another solution and as you can see, Coppersmith is having quite the time of his life....I am not sure where this road will lead...but telling by the cheering from the KING SUPER (another great horse name) shoppers, I was on the right track ( and all for 1 cent, ONE CENT, unbelievable...thank you ELSA NERVIG>>>>
