As most of you know we have had Drifter up for sale for about 3 months now.
You talkin' 'bout me?
Yes Drifter, I am
For the longest time, we only had tire kickers or people who were from the US and couldn't get the funds for commercial transport to get him across the border. I was about to give up. I had an ad on Northern Horse .com and I got a notification that the ad was about to expire on Sept. 4th and did I want to renew it for 15 bucks. Well yes, I did.
Within 24 hours I had 3 people who wanted to buy him and 2 of them wanted to put a non refundable deposit on him right away. The one that did the quickest (by about 5 minutes) decided to buy him sight unseen.
This is the photo I used as the focal photo for the ad. You better believe that photos are important!
There is a really neat story to the sale. We are Diamond Lazy H Quarter Horses- he is going to Diamond H Quarter Horses. We bought him from Weir Quarter Horses, he is sold to people by the last name of Weir (no relation). There are a few other connections too, so it's just special that he is going to these folks.
If you want to check out his new home, here is their Facebook link.
He is en route as I write and I look forward to getting an update from them once he arrives.
I will miss seeing that pretty yellow boy! But I sure am excited for his new adventures. He will have cattle to work, lots of miles to cover on their ranch, and little kids to love up on him. He's going to be a replacement stallion for them. He will be doing what he was bred to do.
One last look....

Congrats on finding Drifter a new home! Interesting similarities. Sounds like it was meant to be and a good fit for the handsome golden boy. Will look forward to updates.
Congratulations on such a good placement, although I am sure you will miss him. Such a beautiful fellow!
Gratz, Shirley! Good luck Drifter! Happy Trails to you! :)
Bye Drifter I will miss seeing you handsome boy, hope your new folks know how lucky they are:)
That’s awesome!! A perfect home for him. I’m going to follow them on Facebook!
The link isn’t working for me.
Hmmmm. The link works for me. Maybe because I already follow their page? If you want to look it up it is Hawks Whisper & Diamond H Quarter Horses
