Zans Heath Bar (Chance)


Yesterday was an exciting day for us as we picked up our new baby "Chance".  He is a gorgeous five year old, sorrel quarter horse that is so sweet you fall for him instantly.  The poor guy had to come on the hottest day of the year and as we drove home we experienced temperatures of 115 degrees!  Poor Chance hales straight from Ventura CA where is rarely even hits 80.

Needless to say we spent some time with him cooling him down with a bath and a nice bran mash.  He seems to be doing fine although he is the only horse out at our barn that is sweating just standing there!  He is going to get a couple of days off to adjust even if it kills John not to ride him.

Fortunately we are coming to the end of summer and it should begin to get a little cooler next week.  I am going to add some pictures soon so you can all see what a handsome guy he is.

  2. Just came across this post. I believe that is "Heath" who we bought off friends as a yearling.
