SOLD to the Gentleman from San Antonio

And then there were four.......

We took Buddy to Tom's place two weeks ago and it was not four days later that we got a great call. Apparently a gentleman from San Antonio came up and visited Tom for most of the day and he was looking for a horse and carriage for his wife. She was beginning to learn to drive and he wanted a safe set up for her, and wouldn't you know it, we had just what he ordered.

We had originally purchased Buddy for Nancy in order to have a very good horse for her that knew enough about driving that she could learn and a would keep her safe while she did so. He was exactly the kind of horse she needed. He was not a hot tempered horse, in fact he frustrated her to a degree because he was not as sensitive to her cues as she would have liked. But that was not his purpose, he was to keep her safe and let her learn to drive. Well he is now headed off to teach someone else the same valuable lessons.

Grimes,

with all the writing you are doing it seems like you have time to come back to Team 1 on your off weeks.

Hey, Gil! What a beautiful place! But you just can't stay away from those railroad communities, can you?! And when are you going to change your name to MacGrimes?

Glad you're having such a grand adventure and that you're finding good places for the horses that you can't take with. Don't forget us, we miss you.
