I was lost also, so I had to do an internet search. If you remember, Silverado's owner wanted to take him home for his 2 year old son. The bidding for Silverado quickly climbed to $10,500. The Carters ended up winning the bid, but it was considerably higher than expected. The Mustang Heritage Foundation is going to help with the cost. What an incredible story of putting the horse before money.

Kirstin had a visit from Taz's trainer this weekend. Careen drove down from College Station to teach Kirstin the different cues she used when training Taz. What an amazing horse! Kirstin was so excited to be able to ride this horse. Careen did a wonderful job training him and we couldn't be more comfortable with Kirstin jumping on his back. She is already spoiling him and spending every spare moment with him. He already recognizes her and his neighs have replaced the neighs of Kirstin's yearlings. Kirstin's remark to me yesterday really sums up how excited she is. She said to me, "Mom, I'm riding a Mustang!" There is just something about a riding a Mustang, isn't there?
