-------------------------------------------------
When id first decided to open the lodge I had made the decision that I wanted the horses to be sweet in temperament. And add on to this was that I wanted to help the wild horses of the world. When the chance arrived I would buy the first of my brumby stock but today I found myself in North America searching for Mustangs that I could use for breeding purposes. I had been told about a large stud that had an auction, but I had arrived a week earlier with the hope that I could find a few horses to bring back with me.

It was as usual just my luck that I happened to stumble upon the stallion Varchie. My car had broken down just outside of the town where I was staying. As such it was much of a walk to get help. So I locked up the car and started the trek. The road had some amazing views of the surrounding farm lands. It was quite different to the Australian studs that I was use to.

It took me some time to notice that I was being followed. Slowly I turned, only to find myself staring into crystal blue eyes of a Blue roan overo stallion. Intelligence shined behind his eyes as he watched me. I spend some time standing by his paddock fence rubbing his beautiful coat. I wasn’t quite sure of the breeding of him; I could only presume that he was a cross with some kind of Spanish breeding. Could this be the Mustang stallion that I had come to America to find?

“Beautiful isn’t he?” Startled I spun around. A snort was issued behind me, was this stallion laughing at me?
“Yes very beautiful.” I took a deep breath, poising myself to continue. “Hello, my name is Jacinta, I’m visiting from Australia.” I took a careful look at the girl before me. She wasn’t very old only around 16, what was she doing this far from the town? Did she live close by?
“Hello, my name is Vanessa and he is Varchie. He is my horse, But I don’t know for how much longer.”
“What do you mean?” We both moved to lean against the white fence of Varchies pasture.
“Mum and dad say that it’s too expensive to keep him. They bought him for me on a whim... They really didn’t know anything about horses, but I loved him.”
“Oh.” It was the only response that I could think to give. I had been in her very shoes at one stage in my life. Now that I was the adult those kinds of decisions feel upon me to make. “What breed is he?” Truly I couldn’t help asking.
“Ah he is a Mustang. He hasn’t had much in the way of training.”

I turned to look at Vanessa Carefully as I asked my next question. “How would you feel about him coming back to Australia with me?” I’d fallen in love with the stallion that was currently lipping my hand. Vanessa looked into my eyes as she replied.
“I think he already likes you, and I think that he would love it in Australia.”
