Please welcome my new mare, Janati.

Yesterday, I was broswing the animal ads in the local paper. I found someone selling baby chickens for $1.50 and figured mum would be interested. When I told her, she asked me to call up and get the details. 10 chickens for 15$? We'll take it. So, after 2 hours of getting lost down wrong roads, we finally find where we're going. I, of course, had brought my camera along in hopes of getting a few photos to show off. Well, I noticed a horse grazing out in their pasture and I said, "Perfect." Well, I didn't know how right I was.
As I step out of of the car I ask the owner if it is indeed his horse. He says yes and makes the comment, "want her?" Well this aroused some question in me so I went off to take a look at his horse. As I got closer I saw her beautiful coat color, which caught my eye, and instantly when she turned her head towards me I saw the horse I had been looking for for four years. I knew it when I looked into her eyes. I was invited in and the man began to explain to me about her. She's pure-bred Arabian, papers and all. When told the original price he wanted, my heart sank. I knew I could never afford it, however, due to a small injury on her leg (which is healing well) he cut the price in half. I knew I had to get her. Deals were made, money was delt with, and my new mare was brought home the same night.

This photo of her was taken by me whilst her owner at the time was showing us the mover she can be.
