Starr Comes!

~*~ Tuesday the 17th of March Electric Starr was due to arrive at 2:30pm! I was pretty excited but still had doubts that maybe something would happen and the owner would have to postpone the trip down here. Well at about 2:00pm Cheryl and her friend called and asked for directions to our ranch, which meant that they were about 15 minutes away. I gobbled up my lunch and paced around the house waiting for the time to pass by. Pretty soon they called again and asked what house we were at! Mom and I ran outside and told them to come to the end of the driveway.
Then there he was. Well, the gooseneck trailer and four-door pickup truck at least. You couldn’t see him from the outside very good. Dad decided to go with us down to the pastures and see if he could “teach that horse a lesson or two.” Riiiiight. Anyway down at the pastures we unloaded Starr. He was alert and all, you know, wanting to know where he was, where his friends were, and when he could get away from that awfully, disgusting, weird smell. Which were the cows. Something he had never seen before and would take some getting used to. We decided it would be best to put him in the corrals to wait for the cows to come up to him and so he could get settled down and us not have to worry about him going through a barbwire fence ‘till we showed him the boundaries. At about 4:00pm Mom and I came down. Mom did ground work with Starr; she wouldn’t ride him today with all this new stuff going on. And I rode Miracle, who did an okay performance. Watching Mom work with Starr was pretty cool and I got to ride him later on. All I can say is that he is really a dream horse, but not what I would want for an everyday horse right now, because you always have to be pulling on the reins!
Surprisingly the next few days Miracle didn’t hang around the corral with Electric Starr. Instead he stayed with the cows or by himself! That definitely shows that Miracle is 33.3% horse, 33.3% cow, and 33.3% human! Since then Starr has settled in nicely even though he has ALL this energy and thinks that everything is SO interesting; the total opposite of Miracle. Well, I hope that was a nice enough report of Electric Starr Coming to his new home. ~*~
