I have decided to offer Cookie for sale because every year it keeps getting harder to find time for her and I get frustrated that she's a sound healthy talented horse that's just sitting in the pasture! It has to be a great loving home - doesn't need to be show home. Guaranteed healthy and sound. $8,500
"Cookie" was originally purchased for her bloodlines to become a broodmare, which we did and she has a 2005 gelding by Fleet Machine. After the sale of my show horse "Spot" I really wanted a "fun" horse. My only criteria for this "fun" horse was that it had to be pretty and did not have to get shown.
I looked for weeks to find this "fun" horse and then Mark said, "Why don't you break Cookie out and use her?"
Why didn't I think of that sooner!
I had no intentions of ever showing Cookie, but she just kept training up. We ended up placing Top 5 in several futurities and have our Superior in Amateur Western Pleasure! Since she is my "fun" horse, I then decided it's time we have some more fun and take a chance on running barrels and poles! She's not finished in barrels and poles but we do have a Reserve World Championship title in Novice Barrel Racing! Who would have thought!
