Announcing! Derby Pie!!
I had noticed that Cappuccino was acting lonely even though he had Theodore and Roosevelt, the burros for companions. Every time we would go riding he would head for the nearby horses down the lane. So I contacted the Equine Rescue group in Lexington, KY and their director, Karen kindly returned my call. We talked for quite a while, but determined that they did not currently have an appropriate horse for me, but she invited me to come visit. About two hours later, Karen called me back and said that she never did this sort of thing, but at just that moment a lady called who could afford the horse that she had, but that her daughter needed something a bit more bold to show, and wanted to give her's away. She had a 10 year old TB. Karen gave me her phone number, I called her and the 10 year old was not going to work. When I explained to Starr Kramer, the owner what I was looking for, she said that she had a 17 year old TB that they had retired from showing and couldn't imagine that anyone would want him. We talked a while and he sounded perfect, so I drove the Lexington two days later, and brought Derby Pie home. He seems so pleasant, stood very well for the farrier, loaded like a star, and gets along famously with Cappy AND the burros. So thank you Karen at Equine Rescue in Lexington and the Kramer family for giving Derby a new home, me a new horse and Cappy a new friend!!!
