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....

    1. I know - I shouldn't be complaining! The problem is I need to be restrained, not encouraged on the horse front!!

      Prair actually has two babies, her 2010 colt (all black, by Sir Donnerhall) was an ET to another mare... Prada was supposed to be an ET but ended up being carried to term by Prarie.

      The colt is pretty stunning too :)

    3. I'm already married, but I would do a 'brother husband' for more horses. Of course, what I really would need is more time since I barely get to see my one at this point! And...what a cute baby!!!!

  6. She's cute! Glad she's on the higher end of the price spectrum and yes ET all the way if you breed P2.

  7. I saw that on BTB and pointed it out to Stacy:)

    But really, let me get this straight: your husband is begging you to buy a horse and you are the one saying no? Lol

  10. Wow, so cute! I'm sure you need a "spare" pony, right?

  11. A) When your man says get another horse, just thank your lucky stars and get it. ;)
    B) To answer his question, I went on a trail ride on my last mare (age 5) with her owner on her dam - the 2 mares did not show any indication that they knew they were related. They both just wanted to hang out with the gelding. I'll be honest - it was a little bit of a let-down that they didn't have a magical mare mother-daughter moment.

  12. I didn't put together that that's who this horse was when I saw her the other day! I'm not usually an overo girl, but I kinda love her.

  13. My, how the tables have turned that your hubby is begging you for a horse and you're restraining yourself haha. That baby is gorgeous though! I'm usually not a fan of lots of color (like you) but she's reallllllly pretty :)

  15. How cool! Yeah, P2 needs another baby like that.

  16. She is simply stunning, gotta agree with your hubby but totally understand your reasons for saying no...you're a better woman than I.

    I too would like to put in for another brother, preferably one who wouldn't mind moving to Europe for me, :p

    PS: Any pics of P2s colt?
