10 Facts About Mystery Horse

May 23, 2016 Lauren Mauldin Comments 37 comments

I have had more than one person come to me and say something along the lines of, “I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS HORSE IT’S KILLING ME!” Whoops – sorry folks.

On the blog, my lack of information is purposeful. I haven’t made a decision on horse yet and won’t for a while, so I have to make sure I don’t make him identifiable. It’d be a really shitty move to ruin someone’s future sale if I send him back. That being said, I’m dying to talk about him and I know folks want to learn more. Here are 10 facts about Mystery Horse to tide you over!

1. I have him on a 30 day trial, hence the long decision period.

2. I call him Baby Brontosaurus

3. He’s getting vetted this week (cross your fingers)

4. He thinks trot poles are some kind of strange science, and is pretty sure the goal is to go over as many as possible in one step.

5. I am pretty struggle bus when it comes to riding him. He’s the anti-Simon.

6. There’s not a mean bone in his body (so far at least).

7. He’s got a lovely face. I could possibly stare at it all day.

8. Unlike Simon, he’s not afraid of mud or getting dirty.

9. He’s pretty sure everything belongs in his mouth.

10. I smile every time I sit on him.

Um, yeah, definitely guilty of bombarding you for details. #10 is the best! Fingers crossed for a successful vetting!

Want to smooch that face!

He looks like my dream horse to be honest…

Being able to stare at them all day and smiling while riding is a must!! Fingers crossed!!

He looks so classy underneath all of his baby brontosaurus putting everything in his mouth personality. =-)

Holy hock action in that trot pole pic! He really is adorable. Thanks for sharing some more details!

I love him- he is adorable!

My fingers are crossed. Thanks for indulging us. I totally understand your reasons for not talking about him publicly but it’s been really tough not to pry the information from you.

My fave is #10 – it’s all about the smile, isn’t it?
But I also love #4!

Fingers crossed!!! Those are 10 great facts!

That trot pole picture tho! Ha! WHERE DOES ALL MY LEGZ GO ?!

3, 6, and 10 are really the most important things so you’re off to a good start with 2/3!

Looks like a chocolate brontosaurus…gorgeous! Good luck with the vetting.

I totally get it, did the same thing with Ramone. Hope the vetting goes well 🙂

Ahh I can’t wait to hear more! Fingers crossed for the vetting

Fingers crossed for #3 & love the nickname, #10 is what it’s all about. Hard to put a price on that feeling ☺

He’s adorable. and I get the restricted info. There’s a reason why I had lots of anonymous Brads.

eeeeeeeeeee i love him already <3 fingers crossed things work out!

I’ve been following you quietly for about a year, but this post made me smile. Fingers crossed – he sounds like he’s exactly what you need. 🙂

The last line says it all. 🙂

=) Wonderful! I love all the photos and the video! He seems lovely and I do hope the vetting goes well!

He reminds me so much of Jamp! I call him Jamposaurus Rex. He too believes trot poles are some kind of weird low oxer.
However, mystery horse appears to have a much larger brain than the Jamposaur who spooks at his own shadow regularly.
Fingers crossed for a good vetting!
