Cricket is two years old, 16 hands and seems very sweet. We brought him home yesterday (Sunday) from the Pasco adoption. So far he appears to be very sensible and a bit shy. I've tossed the rope over his body a few times this evening and let it dangle around his legs; he was fine with it. He's let me touch the tip of his nose and will eat out of your hand. I think Cricket is going to be a relatively easy horse to get along with. He comes with 30 days training (ground work) and board; the adoption fee is $125 and a BLM contract is required.

He needs to gain a lot of weight, but when he does I think he'll be a stunning horse. I do hope he goes quickly as I could sure could use the training fees to compensate for all the diesel I've been sucking up of late

LOL, DeAnne! ;D We'z all crazy!! But Jenn can spend lots of time on the ground with him while taking lessons, then find a trainer to put some time on him next spring. By that time no one would even know he'd been wild as long as she keeps his brand covered up

LOL DeAnne, I know I`m crazy, but Tracey is right, I`m taking lessons on Gus, an older horse, been there done that, and not moving on until I get that, but Cricket wouldn`t even be sent to a trainer or worked on riding until next spring!! I AM GOOD AT GROUND WORK!! LOL

Here's his full face for ya, Jenn! It's long, but sweet. And I love his funny little ear! He was a real good boy today, letting me walk up to him and scratch his neck on both sides of his body. He really enjoyed it and even began to reach around to touch me with his nose. Tomorrow I'll try to touch his face a bit more and scratch behind his withers. He's really wanting to be a buddy!
