Jennifer unloaded the big black horse from the trailer, and watched with pleasure as her 14 year old daughter stood with a stunned expression. It was early Saturday morning and they were at Kentucky Dream Stables. "Happy birthday! He's an early gift," Jenny explained. Cassidy hardly heard her. She was staring with awe and facination. A drop dead gorgeous Tennesee Walker stood majestically in the stable yard, his coal black coat sparkling in the sun. He had beautiful conformation, a noble head with a gentle expression, and a flash of fire in his eyes. He stood an impressive 16.2 and surveyed his new surrondings. Then the stallion let out a piercing whinny. A few other horses answered back. "His name is Southern Gentleman," Jennifer said. "And he's all yours!" They led him into the barn and found his new stall. It was the first on and on the other side was Lucky Gamble. The stallion sniffed the fluffy bedding, then took a sip of water and nosed the full haynet. Content, he turned to hang his head over the door with an eager look. Jenny showed Cassidy his registration papers and they put them up safely. Cassidy told all her friends. Melanie, who of course had known about the surprise, was stroking the Tennessee Walker's muzzle.
THE NEXT DAY...
Cassidy groomed, fed, and led the stallion around the barn and paddocks. She introduced him to his private paddock and let him play and graze for about half an hour. He adjusted well, enjoying the paddock. It had a clump of shady trees at the end, a fence boardering the mare's pastures, and lush green grass covered the rolling land. He trotted the perimeter, sniffing and inspecting, then satisifed, he bolted into a gallop and charged across the pasture. After a few playful bucks and a gorgeous rack down the fenceline, he neighed and cantered to the fence. He hung his head over the gate and peered at Cassidy, then walked off to graze. Cassidy got him use to her by spending plenty of time with him. She lunged him that evening, then Jenny said she could ride the next day.
