Enter: Freckles.
Well, I didn't plan to get another horse. But, after I made the decision to find Oska a new home, a friend contacted me about Freckles. Over the years, I have wanted a smaller horse to start under saddle. A friend of a friend needed to find Freckles a good home and I'm so happy that we were chosen for her. Freckles arrived on Friday. She's a 2007 AQHA mare. I haven't measured her yet, but she's about 14.2. I love it. I can see over her back! She's halter broke and had someone on her back, but is not truly broke. She's quiet, she considers and thinks. She is my first AQHA (American Quarter Horse), so far from what I've seen, I really like her.
And here are her "Freckles"

She's beautiful! I've moved to smaller horses too and have recently acquired two chestnut QH geldings - I've had one QH before (he died last year at age 30), and the good ones are really fine horses.
Will be interested in how she does for you.
Kate, thank you. I love smaller horses and I also love the old ones. I hope that Classy makes it that long or longer, he's looking pretty sharp at age 21.
Congrats on the new addition :) She is a cutie!
Well, you know I like her! She looks like a female "Red". I want to come by and see her this week...hopefully Thursday.
Freckles is a cutie! I love her spotty face.
I'm glad you found a good home for Oska. She's a cutie but I can totally understand not wanting to keep her if you two didn't mesh well. Why spend so much effort (not to mention money) on a horse you don't enjoy spending time with? That's how I feel about Scout half the time. The other half I really like him. So he's still here...
I'll look forward to reading more about your work with Freckles. I'm going to have to start doing more colt starting work too, maybe we can compare notes.
