Here Comes Trigger

Well! Send Oakie down to NW Oklahoma and the horses and what does she do? Yep! Oakie sent me this photo of our NEW Addition to the family. She feel in love with this great looking addition to our horse family. His barn name is "Trigger." He is a registered quarterhorse with AQHA. He is in the process of being ridden, trained. Oakie says, "It doesn't spook at anything -- It's been trained to walk, ride right in to one of those narrow storage containers -- It's a two year old, palomino, gelding. It's registered AQHA name is "Doc Lynx Son." It's mother is "Flying Lynx." I guess sometime towards end of May, 2005 Trigger and our paint horse (Doquoti) will be coming to the valley of SW Colorado.

Oakie did tell me about her father (Gene McGill's) raised a palomino horse called "Nugget." She particularly remembers that Gene had brought "Nugget" in to town at 703 7th Street one day and little Oakie was placed in the saddle on Nugget's back. I don't think Oakie knew much about riding back then. They both proceeded to take a walk around the yard and house. Along came this tree branch as they rounded the norhtwest corner of the house -- swoosh! Nugget forgot to tell this youngster on his back to duck for tree limbs! Off Oakie went on to the ground. Not sure of the rest of the story, because it was vague in Oakie's mind, also.   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
