$72518 year old, 15.2h, bay gelding. He was quite nice to ride until I asked him to go somewhere he did not want to go. He tossed his head and became a bit of a bully. Pushy on the ground. Picks up feet nicely. He would not be suitable for a timid rider, and probably would have done better in a bridle. However, he may need a refresher in learning to give to pressure. Email Deb for more information @ AvalonMistFarm@msn.com

This boy was my choice of the day I am a sucker for a bay QH... He was pushy but cute!

Someone offered full bail and a home for him on one of the other messages! Deb is he safe? Did she get in touch with you?

no, that's the number I have as well. She is probably just busy with tomorrow being a ship day. Just keep trying. Has anyone contacted you about your ap? I know it is pretty stressful for you with the deadline looming, but they are actually pretty good at facilitating things.

They haven't yet, but I'm hoping for the best and staying by my phone and computer. It's just so hard when there was only one day to try and find homes. I'm hoping since I haven't heard back that maybe Diego and the others found other homes today :-) Wishful thinking, but certainly possible since I think they all would have been placed with a little more time.

Okay, I talked to Sam and Caryn (application gal). You need to send your pictures to cberapplications@yahoo.com. Sam says if you send in Diego's bail ( do it from his webpage on CBER) they can pull him. If for some reason there is a problem with your app. the money will be refunded to you so not to worry there. Caryn will call your refs tomorrow and push through the app. I did this with my horse as it was also down to the wire and all went well. Call me if you have some questions at 503-507-5586. Also post that you sent bail and send an e-mail of the reciept from paypal to Deb's e-mail.

Just letting everyone know Diego made it to SoCal safe and sound last week. We immediately fell completely in love with this boy... he is just an amazing horse and we couldn't be happier! He loves our dog and our other horses, not to mention that we feed 3x a day. I have never seen an appetite like his. I've taken him out on our spokey trails by himself now and he is basically bombproof. We are so lucky to have him and will hopefully gain his trust completely in the near future. I'll post pictures as soon as I find out how. This guy will never again have to worry about having a home again :-)

Just another update on Diego (Now "Ricco" for Ricco Suave since he is such a lover) He is doing great! On the 4th of July he even comforted Sable when the fireworks scared her to death, it really bonded the two of them. He is the first one to call to us as soon as we open the back door and when we leave the barn to go back in, he starts calling again like he doesn't want us to go. He follows me everywhere go, even from manure pile, to manure pile as I clean is stall and turnout. It took about a week to realize the box fan blowing on him to keep him cool in this heat is a really good thing. Fly spray is another story... definitely his least favorite part of the day, I hope someday soon he figures out I'm not trying to kill him with the stuff. We have also found that he has a tattoo... who would have thought this guy raced? He doesn't look built for it at all. As soon as my vet comes out and can make sure I'm reading it right, we'll find out who he is and update everyone. It is kinda of exciting to know we will be able to find out a little bit about him. We are so lucky we found the CBER website. Thanks everyone who worked so quickly to make this adoption possible. I'll post more pictures of him again soon.

Thanks! He is gorgeous... I wouldn't be surprised if he thinks his name is Pretty Boy or Hey Gorgeous since he hears it so much :-)
