CLOUD 9 WALKERS

"Scout"

Athletic 15H Coming 3-yr-old Black/White Foxtrotter/Spotted Saddle Horse Gelding with Personality Plus

Scout's new owner, Tommy rides him on the ranch on 7/17/10.

Scout, now renamed "Mikey" (because he eats everything!) now lives in Brenham, Texas with the beautiful buckskin mare "Jackie O", on a large cattle farm. He was purchased as a 'husband horse' and apparently, he is doing his job quite well. Here is a letter back from his new home:

Laura

I am writing to ask you if I should be insecure in my relationship with my husband, Tommy, given what is going on between him and Mikey/Scout. As a friend, I need your advice, because my husband has never been distracted with someone else like this. I have always thought we had the perfect relationship, but now I feel like someone else is intruding…… Here is what you need to know to help me analyze my possible insecurity.

Monday evening. Tommy took Mikey over to Sophie’s. They went by themselves. There is no one there and there are no cattle there, so it is quite quiet and peaceful. Mikey had never been there before. He had to cross the big dam, no problem. Something bothered him just a tiny bit right when they got to the house, but no problem. Then when Tommy went into the house to check for leaks, problems, etc., Mikey actually started crying (whinnying) for him. Pitiful. Of course the second Tommy came out of the house and the two lovebirds were reunited, Mikey was fine.

Later Monday evening – Tommy told me that I really shouldn’t be expecting him to be working on projects in the evening because he would be riding his horse instead!!!

Tuesday evening. Tommy rode Mikey in the pasture behind our house. Later Tommy said his gait was wonderful. He repeated the idea that he would be riding Mikey at night rather than doing projects!

Late Tuesday evening – Tommy told me that his horse was the best thing that had happened to him in years.

Should I be insecure??!!!!!!!!!!

This horse loves interaction with people, and if you walk into the pasture to try to catch another horse, he pesters you, follows you around, almost like he's begging you to choose HIM to ride!

"Scout" -- Personable gentle "in-your-pocket" horse with the whole world ahead of him. He'd make someone a great lifetime horse -- he's a ham with a very cute personality, gets along well with all other horses, not alpha, just always has an easygoing manner about him. Scout is a Foxtrotter which is currently not registered, but definitely could be registered as a Spotted Saddle Horse or Spotted Mountain Horse, as well as racking. He performs a soft little foxtrot, a nice rack and the most easy rocking chair canter you've ever sat! You can crawl all over him, under him, around him, lie down with him, he's probably not sure he's not a dog or human! Scout is 3 years old and has had a natural horsemanship training, has been camping and trail riding all over TX, KY and CO. He stands now at about 15H but we are suspicious that he will reach 15.2H by the time he's 4 or 5 years old. This is going to be a confidence builder/family horse soon. Scout backs, pivots, forehand turns, side passes, stands tied well, loads, clips, bathes, canters . . . $4500
