Shayna's Horse Show and the Free Stormy horse

Shayna had her and Stormy's first horse show yesterday.  They did really good.  They placed in 3rd all day.  Stormy has been learning how to do shows after his being a trail horse for 14 years.  It was all new to him.  Shayna did a great job on teaching him how to slow down and all that fun stuff.   They did not do the trail class though.  Shayna felt he was not ready for that.  I am proud of her ending the day on a good not with Stormy. 

Stormy's old owner Pam came to watch them do this show.  Pam said it was bitter sweet.  She misses him (stormy) but is happy to see that he is well love and that his new mommy spends everyday with him.   Pam was selling Stormy for 7 years.  A few days after Shayna's horse Bucks died from last years California's wild fires, he had asthma Shayna started looking at horse to find a price range that was fair.   While looking at one site she saw Stormy.  She came in to me and said mom he is the one.  So we e-mailed Pam , she called us back (at the time she wanted $1200.00 for him) , we set up a time to go see him.

We went to see him, brought our animal photo book. Pam watched how Shayna and Stormy did withe each other.  We asked if she had other people coming to see him , Pam said yes.  I asked her to call us after she has made the choice on who his mew person would be.

Pam started crying and said Shayna is it, she is the one she has been looking for the the last 7 years!   She said she wanted Shayna to be his new mommy.   We all started crying, even hubby got teary eyed.

We ended up buying Stormy for $1.00 .  Why a whole $1.00??  For a bill of sale.  God Blessed us all.  We got a new horse, new family members Pam, Keith, their kids and grand-kids. 

We had this picture taken for Pam & Keith as a thank you:

This is Shayna's graduation picture with Stormy.

This is a picture of Stormy:

I am so proud of Shayna.  Yesterday at the end of the show she gave Pam Stormy's 1st horse show ribbon that he ever earned.   That made me tear up real good.  Shayna blessed Pam , Pam blessed Shayna.  I am blessed to be Shayna's mom.

God Blessed, mj

Oh how sweet. I almost teared up just reading your blog about Stormy and the two mommy's. Stormy is a beautiful horse, and your daughter is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing the story. I definately think Pam mae a great choice. You can tell by that picture of them both.

God's Blessings,
