Big Jim Is Here!







Here is the story of Big Jim.

My friend,neighbor and riding compadre Terri fell in love, I mean in love with a buckskin stallion she saw in Usery Park as she was riding one day....His name is Polk. She decided right then that she would buy a broodmare and breed her to Polk and pray she would get her buckskin.

Terri bought Sunny a dunn and bred Sunny to Polk. Sunny had a filly named Jetta. Jetta is wonderful but alas, she isn't a buckskin. So Terri bought Flashy who happens to be a buckskin and bred her to Polk. She also bred Sunny,again, just before Flashy.

Sunny had a beautiful colt,Rueger, but alas, Rueger isn't a buckskin. Wonder of wonders Flashy delivers a stunning BUCKSKIN colt named Brazen.

Oh happy day! All was wonderful or was it? Now Terri has young horses either very green or to young to ride.

Terri works hard.....Its a lot of work taking care of horses and where was the joy!

Now I was online looking at horses and I see a buckskin for sale that looked so much like Polk I did a double take. Yes, I showed the picture to Terri and she was hooked. Big Jim is a cousin to Polk. Big Jim is here all the way from Kentucky and we are very happy!

Hope to have pictures of Terri's first ride soon. Big Jim will be ready in a few days!
