Offer accepted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course we have to finalize our small business loan and have an inspection!!!

10 horses come with the deal, one of which was a horse of ours when hubby and I worked at the other summer camp a decade ago. How weird is that!

Super psyched!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This just brought tears to my eyes. I thought I was all caught up on this thread, but I clicked on it to find 5 more pages. And to get to this post was just PERFECT!!!!

I'm so excited for you. :clap: :cheer: :clap: :cheer:

Can I come next weekend??? :teehee: :teehee:

OMG I am soooooo excited for you guys! I have tears in my eyes I am so happy for you!!

Yes, of course....ahem....down to business. Dot those i's, cross those t's. Make sure you are getting what you thought you were getting.

Holy crap 10 horses!!!

I have a saddle, at least one pony bridle, and a few other odds and ends I will start sorting out for you!!! I suspect the TOC gang can amass a fantastic array of tack and supplies if it were needed!!!

Rest assured you have at least 2 campters from across the state for next season (ok, I will admit...I did tell a few friends, so I think you could have more than two)...

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:woot: :woot: :woot: :woot:

Thank you guys.... seriously I am sitting here with a HUUUUGGGEEE grin on my face.... we are super psyched. I just have a good feeling about it, we have since day 1, and I think it will all work out just fine!

TBF, we will be HAPPY to have your kiddos, and any others you want to send our way. I can't wait to get back into the groove of camp and we have so many great ideas on how we can improve the property and the program.

I know we can knock this out of the park... hubby and I were a great team years ago when we did this and now we are just that much older and wiser, and have kids of our own, so I am excited to apply all the things we've learned and all the ideas we have.

Seriously gonna have a TOC weekend, though anyone is welcome to come and visit/stay anytime, as we will certainly have enough accommodations!!

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Oh, and I will definitely be on the hunt to buy tack and equipment this winter.... we are inheriting a bunch of it but will need more (erm, who *doesn't* need more tack??) and/or will have to replace some things. A lot of her stuff is pretty well worn so I'll have to go through and see what is usable, safe, etc.

Come February I will be on the hunt to buy and lease horses too.... that kinda freaks me out a bit but a trainer friend of mine said horses drop out of the sky once you own a farm. So we'll see! We hope to have a string of 25-30, and borrow another 10-15 for the summer. Will lease out the ones we own from September - June and only keep a few on the property through the off seasons.

Ok now I'm getting ahead of myself but... oh man so much to do!! :)

OH MY GOD, that is just wonderful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

I was using this tip for myself, but the vibes must have traveled up the coast to NY

say 9 times, once when you wake, once in the middle of the day, once at bedtime

'Nothing is too wonderful to happen'.

I have tears for you guys (because of all the work you've just gotten yourselves into :point: :point: ) (just kidding)

Looks like life's prepared you and Mr FG well.

I figure Colton is a little too young to realise what's going on, but how does little miss FG feel about this?
