Adopted....Happy Trails, Capri!

Capri has a home!  She was adopted by a wonderful, experienced horsewoman named Kimberly who does her own training and was looking for just the right horse to be a fun project and a life-long companion.  She saw the ad that I posted on craigslist, and immediately called me to let me know that she and Capri belonged together.  Have you ever had one of those moments?  You know, when you first see your horse, and you know beyond any doubt that it is meant to be yours forever and ever?  I've felt that way, a couple of times now, and this lovely lady felt that way about Capri.  She faxed her paperwork to the BLM, got approved lickety-split, and high-tailed it up the interstate for two hours to meet her new friend. 

It was love at first sight for both of them.  They checked either out from a distance, then approached one another for a first touch, then shared some time just breathing together.  Kimberly brushed Capri, played with her in the roundpen, and asked all of the right questions.  She spent two hours here, and there was no doubt in my mind that the two of them were a match.

With final approval from the office in Burns, Kimberly loaded Capri in her trailer and headed back down the interstate through rush-hour traffic.  Capri settled into her new home easily, and has a cute appy gelding for a friend.  Kimberly tells me that she is fascinated by Capri's temperament--that she has a kind personality and yet she is open to learning, too.  That is very true, and it sums Capri up really well.  She is mellow and gentle, but not a plug; she is smart and funny and sweet and will show her snazzy side when asked.

Capri, my friend, I wish you the best in your new forever home.  Work hard, play hard, learn well, eat lots of cookies, and do what you do best...dish out your love and kindness and show the world how wonderful mustangs are.
