Thanks for noticing Catarina makes just one more to a breed I can't count a hundred of!

Here are some new pictures of Catarina:

So, Victoria and Catarina had a good run out in the very large arena (it is an equestrian center size arena) on a rather warm Southern California day. I knew that Victoria would appreciate being hosed off so I took her over to where the hose was and she got this "OH NO!" look on her face and began moving away from the hose (for fear that the hose would send her filly dashing away from her and she knows that I wont let go of her). Well, I started hosing Victoria off and much to her great delight, Catarina stayed right with her (so she immediately relaxed and was able to enjoy the cool water). Well, I wanted Catarina to feel the cool water as she was very sweaty with her puffy foal coat so I splashed some on her as she was on the other side of her mother. She was very surprised and danced around a bit. Soon she began realizing what this cold substance was and walked over to where I was standing next to her mom. I splashed some more water on her and she really liked it! She also didn't mind it when I got her face wet. Well, she got this idea (that I thought was hilarious) that because she had ran so much that she was very thirsty and began drinking water from the hose! lol Smart girl!

Time to eat!

Such a little speed ball. I loved the lead changes and that mad dash facing the camera at about the 3 minute mark.

I think it amazing the huge range of motion that Victoria and Catarina have in the shoulder. When I had the chiropractor out to adjust Victoria she was astonished at how far she could raise Victoria's front legs. I am so use to it that I questioned her as to why she just gasped and said wow and apparently Victoria's range of motion isn't the norm. When Catarina is running full out she looks like Superman! lol Her front legs fly straight out on a horizontal angle! I found some more dvds so maybe I can record it next time. I was disappointed that I didn't have anymore dvds to record it with last time I was out.

Sarah, Catarina reminded me of a mini bullfighting looking horse with those moves of hers! haha That section of the video is one of my favs as well. She is one FAST baby!

I think you said you had to sell her? Keep up the good work on continuing your breed. She's beautiful!

Well, if I had land to keep horses on then she wouldn't be for sale. Sadly, if I want to continue my breed my only option is to sell her. If I had the option to keep her, I would make her my future working equitation horse, trail horse, show horse, and broodmare. This filly is for sure a keeper and it breaks my heart to have to sell her. I feel like a total idiot as a breeder as you don't sell your best stock! Whomever buys Catarina sure will get an absolutely amazing horse!

Beautiful filly.
