Logan Darkstar















Joe did have enough sense not to tell me he had already paid for a horse, for me, that I had not yet seen. Instead he told me about Napoleon. After I agreed that leaving him with Jeff was the best option for him, I asked, "So now what?" I don’t have a horse…

Now let’s fall back a little. I had it in my mind that I wanted a “horse of color”. Of course, I knew color was only skin deep and that it was the horse that mattered, but still, I made more calls and went to see more paints, appys, buckskins and palominos, than chestnuts and bays. I also had it in mind a Morgan would be a good choice.

OK, so Joe says that Jeff has a really nice gelding needing a home and that he is a Morgan/Mustang. That sounded good, but what color was he? Bay. Ugh! Joe tells me Jeff really likes this horse and thinks he would be a good match. He is even willing to put an additional 30 days on him to make sure he is ready to go.

Ok, Ok that is a good deal.....let’s go see him.....but I am still thinking, bay…ugh!

I walked up to Logan and was smitten. My minds eye had never pictured this horse for me, but he was perfect. Sweet, beautiful, just the right size, just the right age and he even seemed to like me!!

Then Joe told me he had already paid for him. Sneaky devil…

So, any idea what my favorite color is now?? Every Bay horse I see is the most beautiful horse in the pasture....funny that.

Logan is a medium bay with black points and three white feet. He has a wide white blaze and his left eye has white sclera. When you are regarded by this eye it is magical. In his blaze is a dark star. I have not seen another horse with this type of marking and so in true romantic fashion I christened him, Logan Darkstar.

Logan is my peanut M&M. A Morgan&Mustang with nothing plain about him.

The top picture is of him on his first day home, after his extra 30 days...it coincided with my birthday.

I have just completed my degree in Applied Equine Podiatry and at the tender age of 53 have found my calling..rehabilitating horses feet from the ravages of shoes and domestication. I am an aspiring horseman and RAW Food Vegan. Sometimes I wonder which is harder... :)
