Boon Docs Freckles Part 2

several years after acquiring leo lena socks we were raising some pretty good colts out of some really nice mares and bred several select outside mares.
  During that period I was approached by a friend that needed to sell a piece of property he owned that I always wanted and  as is usually the case with me I had more money tied up in expensive  horses than I had in the bank. at that point I made the executive decision to sell off some of the horses to purchase the property and build the new ranch.
  In that group of horses for sale was the stud horse. I agreed to sell out to some relatives of ours as long as I still had the option to breed to him any mares registered to me for free.
     A year later found us living on the new ranch and it was business as usual all horses all the time. Every now and then I would take in an outside horse to ride and one evening I got a phone call from a friend of mine that divided his time between his place in Nebraska and his place in new jersey.  he told me he had just hauled in a horse that he had acquired in a dispersal sale in Manitoba.  The horse was an unbroke 9 year old bay stud horse that was a grandson of zippo pat bars on the top and a grandson of poco Bueno on the bottom he asked me if I would be interested in getting him going for him. he informed me the horse was completely gentle once you had ahold of him but was very man shy. his intentions for him was to take him back to Nebraska and use him in the feed lot and rope some with him.I have always been a stud horse guy and I told him im a little overloaded at the moment you give  me a couple weeks ill get turned around a bit and have the time. about 2 weeks later I got a phone call from his daughter telling me her dad got a little antsy and decided to give it a shot himself and had a major wreck  he was in the hospital and the horse had shattered her dads leg and ankle could I please come get the horse this coming weekend.  I  agreed to come get him on Saturday morning .upon arrival at my friends place that morning I headed rite for the house to speak to my bed ridden buddy and get the scoop on what happened he told me his story and I was heading out to get the horse loaded he hollered hey mike that mare I bred to your horse last year foaled last night could you do me a favor and catch him up and iodine his naval I agreed . so off to the barn I went as I approached there was a narrow trap that led up to the barn where the mare was turned out when I opened the gate momma popped her head out the door and was coming for her breakfast all of a sudden it struck me here comes one of  the prettiest little newborn buckskin colts ive ever seen he trotted rite up to me no fear he looked like a mini stud horse just hours old I decided rite then I was gonna keep my eyes on this colt.
  4 months later I was bringing the big bay back to his owner for delivery. while I was there I decided to check in on that colt at 4 months old sure enough he was everything I thought he was going to be and at that moment I told my buddy that colt there whatever your plans are for him know that I want first rite of refusal to buy him so don't piss him away. and by the way the bay horse turned out to be a super nice kind of horse and was a cracker jack rope horse big stop lots of feel and incredibly gentle he had one hang up he got goofy if more than one person tried to fool with him while saddling up.That led me to believe at some point a bunch of cowboys tried to snub that big boy up ear him and saddle him. idiots....he needed to trust you and would give you all he had to give.
     The following spring my phone rang and its my buddy telling me he wanted to make a deal on that colt I said im on my way.i pulled up trailer hooked up and ready to roll.he needed some fillys started so we struck a deal with some cash and some breaking  work I could have the colt....DONE DEAL...I now have my replacement stud horse
