In the morning Tim picked up Apache from the people who had him, to bring him back home so we could sell him.  Later that day we visited Jack Fields and saw "Jester’s Bossman".  My first impression was that he was shy and quiet, standing apart from the other two palominos.  Boss was a beautiful bay.  Tim asked Jack about groundwork, and it was pretty clear that Jack didn’t spend much time on that, so Tim didn't bother to ask Jack to show him his skills.  Tim took Bossman on a lead and tried a couple of games.  He discovered that Boss learned quickly and was willing to learn.  We also saw him gait.  In the meantime, our visit was peppered with stories from Jack about his hound dogs, grandkids and trail rides, all with a Tennessee accent so thick you could cut it.  As we chatted and Jack watched Tim, he suggested that Tim obviously knows horses and that we are good people, and maybe we’d like to take Boss home for a week to try him out.  We took him up on the offer and arranged to pick him up the next day.
