Prair's Filly

I don't know why I haven't posted it on here yet, but Stacy over at Behind the Bit, posted the ad for Prair's 2011 filly Real Prada.  I found out that she was on the market a couple weeks ago, but apparently totally spaced on posting anything.

Prada in 2011.. still by Prair's side

Little miss Prada wasn't ever supposed to be for sale, but we've all been in/seen the scenario where the horse you think you'll keep forever ends up moving on.  When I bought Prair, it was either Prair or the filly had to go, and lucky me I got the Big Mare.  I'm a bit surprised to see Prada for sale as she is literally everything Cocolalla has been breeding for and I would have expected them to want to get some embryos from her..

Prada was bred by the lady who I purchased Prairie from at Cocolalla Creek Sport Horses, so her daddy is one of their studs, and she certainly hit the color jackpot!

Radikal - her sire

I don't typically like a lot of color, but there's something about Prada's medicine hat and matched black/white legs that I think is pretty charming.

The little lady isn't cheap (by any stretch of the imagination) so I'm sure she'll go to a good show home.  The Boy has pleaded with me to get her but so far I'm putting my foot down.  We need to downsize not collect more..   His primary motivation is to see if they recognize each other.. I've tried to explain that of all the bad reasons to buy a horse... that might be toward the top of the list.  He also argues that it would just make sense to get a "P3."

I do love the idea of having Prair's baby, but the more logical argument is to breed her myself something (or do an ET to avoid straining her back).

If you picture her in all black, she really looks like her mama....
