He is HERE!!!



I am ashamed to say that I didn't think he was coming yesterday so I didn't have my camera ready. I got the call at 4:30 that he was coming so I rushed over after work to ride him and get him settled in with Apple. These pictures were taken with my phone this morning. I promise better ones tomorrow after I ride tonight.

His registered name is Mr Starlight Opa. I will NOT call him Opa. His breeding is interesting its a mix of working cow/reining horses and performance/WP horses. He is one of the smoothest horses I have ever ridden and I LOVE it.

I have a local guy that wants me to come over and help him during some local cutting shows. My horse and I will keep the cows turned back and penned at the end of the arena.

Ideas for names are very welcome. I have a soft spot for "A" names though.

Super cute! That is one of the cutest faces I've seen.

Going off the Starlight and the "A" here are some "A" constellations: Aquila (the Eagle), Apus (bird of paradise), Aries (the ram), Atlas...

There are more but I'm supposed to be working. Astrix could also be a good choice.

What a cutie!

His blaze looks like an Arrow. There's a name.

Nice! you definitely need an "A" name. I can see the arrow in his blaze, and I do like that for a name!

Can't wait to see some more pictures!

I think Arrow is adorable. I love names that fit a specific horse, esp with the face markings.

He is cute!!
