Exciting Horse News and Random Thoughts and facts about me (been tagged)...

Okay...here it is!
I've blogged so much about my mare I used to have a few years ago, you all know the story about Babe....I've been praying like crazy one day I'd be able to get her back....the steps to her used to be a world away, and now I'm just a half a step from her!!!!!!
My friend Johnny called me today to say that Larry (her current owner who bought her from me) will now consider selling her back to me!!!
My heart stopped! Since we have decided to sell or trade Bella, the mare we have now, I have offered him a trade, one horse for another. I should know over the next day or so what the verdict will be....so my horsey friends...say a big ol' horsey prayer to God for me!!!!!
I'd give up so much to have her again. And if Larry does the trade I'll have peace of mind knowing she will be well cared for.
********UPDATE!!!!!!!**********
IT'S A DONE DEAL...I'LL HAVE MY GIRL BACK WITHIN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS!
I'M SO HAPPY I COULD SPIT! EVERYTHING WORKED OUT GREAT FOR ME, AND FOR BELLA WHO WILL NOW GO LIVE WITH LARRY AND BE WELL CARED FOR...AND SOON YOU'LL BE READING ALL ABOUT BABE, PICTURES GALORE, AND MY HAPPY RIDING TRAILS, WITH BABE - I HAVE NO FEAR!
