As the day started here at SLS, I woke up to find Mr. Rado had broken into the feed room from jumping over his pasture fence and was merrily munching away on anything he could reach. After checking things out and finding it was just the hay he had gotten into, I put him back in his stall with a small bit of grain and started my daily chores.
I was cleaning stalls when I heard a truck pull into the drive. I looked out and saw it was pulling a trailer, and that it was the same trailer that delivered the boys yesterday. So I hurried out there to see what was going on, all the time having things going through my head about something being wrong. What I found however was quite the opposite. A familiar gentleman stepped out of the truck with a slight grin on his face and handed me an envelope with my name on it then went back towards the trailer. With my heart pounding in my chest I opened it carefully and inside was a letter from Melissa, my friend from Masters who found Bas and Rado for me.
It read: "Hey Lexi, I found something for you at a dispersal sale in Sunset Valley. I knew your two boys might be lonely. Go open the trailer." I shook my head with a grin then went to the back of the trailer just as the gentleman opened the doors. The sight that greeted me nearly made me cry. Inside the trailer were two of the most beautiful Lusitano mares I had ever seen. The gentleman came up with a smile and handed me their papers and I read them eagerly, the mares were Sara, a striking dark grey dapple and Reya, a fiery chestnut. I eagerly started unloading them and was pleased when they waited patiently for their turn, then backed out with practiced ease.
After I got them out and put them in a pasture to settle in, I thanked the gentleman with a shaky smile and he tipped his hat and left with a smile of his own, apparently loving his part in the surprise. I went about my chores while keeping a close eye on my new mares and noticed they were settling in fine and that both of my stallions had taken quick notice of them and were already flirting from afar. Later when things were done I got the chance to ride them both and I have to say I was beyond pleased. Sara turned out to be a wonderful jumper with lots of scope and plenty of attitude that will take her far. Reya was very easy to handle with lovely gaits and expressive movements that will make her a star in Dressage. The ride was so easy, that after I was done I did something a bit out of the ordinary and jumped on her bareback. She didn't even flick an ear and is so well trained she did everything asked just from the feel of my body and I nearly cried at how wonderful it was.
I am so proud of my new mares and they will make lovely editions to the Spanish Legacy Stable Lusitano line.
