Goodbye Samson (sniff)

Well, we have been boarding Samson and his owner picked him up today. Samson was Cori's first foal and he just turned 11 months old. I am glad I was not there when they picked him up – I would have been heartbroken to see him go. Dad said he walked right on the trailer like a good boy. He is now going to be boarded at a quarter horse place in NC. The man running the place, along with Samson's owner, picked him up. They brought an older gelding on the trailer to ride with him so he would not be too frightened and they promised Dad he would be in a paddock until he got used to his new home, then he would be with a herd of boys as he grows into an adult. If you are in western NC and pass a group of quarterhorses and a big, lovely Friesian, wave hello to Samson for me. What a sweet boy. This has got to be one of the worse parts about being a breeder – seeing them go….
