Welcome Scrappy
















**Check out the updated pics below!**

I needed another horse like I needed more barn cats. Scrappy is a yearling AQHA filly. I went to look at Scrappy on a whim (and under pressure from my mom!) because I liked her bloodlines and was interested in buying a riding prospect. She was also about 10 minutes from my house. She was definitely a "prospect" but quite promising. I saw her sire and dam on the premises and picked out her 3yr old full brother as my favorite on the place before I knew his relation. Her sire has won about $30,000 in NCHA cutting and her dam is by an NCHA money earner.

I think that Scrappy will be fun to ride in the Pat Wyse clinics when she grows up. She is eating me out of house and home and getting up to speed on her schooling. She is more challenging than my point and shoot Smarty foals but is coming along.

I bought Scrappy April 13th, 2011 (13 is a lucky number, right?). The first picture is Scrappy the day after I brought her home. The head shot and picture at the hitching rail were taken a few weeks later. The picture of her grazing was taken after about six weeks.

**Update**The 5th and 6th pictures were taken in September 2011. Scrappy now fits in with my herd even though she's a bit small for her age. My other yearling, Peppy, is definitely the ringleader but Scrappy has emerged from her shell quite nicely.
 



**Another Update**
Last pic is of Scrappy saddled upon December 31, 2011.
