He has not yet officially been advertised, as owner wants him to be the last one left sort of thing...in the hope her circumstance changes or some other miracle happens. Ive not asked much about it cause i dont want to add any pressure to her or her situation. If i had more land i would have him in a hearbeat..even to geld he is amazing to show and drive.
As for other stallions, ive seen three that i really like for Charm (same owner as Darci but Charms in my care) But i have to stop myself because i think for time/land/money im at my limit with what i have. However, i have told Thrillers owner that im considering putting him out on loan, cause as amazing as he is he is the type who really thrives with work, a job and interaction. When he was being shown he had all that but now he is literally just my babysitter and i dont have the time to do the things he really loves and he would be perfect to do therapy work with (which i have already done with him, so proven)
The only thing holding me back on that is that he is a good company for Louie, and i don't want Lou being alone for the next however long i decide to keep him entire because i wanted another foal (that could be a colt, and possibly not be able to be with lou anyway)
The only thing that could change is that i sell Meadow, and thats just not going to happen. She was my first foal, and she is here for life.
Another option is i get a foal out of charm then move her on, but at the moment she is the only one i can drive (Ive decided to retire Goldie) so id rather focus on that then she will be able to sell better as a good driving mare too.
So basically im not looking a foal this year at all and Banner selling may be a blessing. Id still love to have got Darci covered though, as i feel kind of bad that the first outside mare i had in didnt produce a foal. (but if i had know her dam was notorious for phantoms, i would have bloody insisted on a scan!!) I have no say on who gets to cover her now.
I can't even use charms owners land cause its all for sale, so if i was to put charm out there still as mine but on "livery" it would only be temporary and if it sold i would be left in a tight situation. I already have a big horse stabled and thats all i can afford to do lol
I need more land
