This is Dandy's Little Jewel, a.k.a Dandy. I posted some pics of her in the "Horse Pictures Sec." I just purchased her in February. Dandy is a 7yr. Old, 16.2H, Appendix QH mare. Dandy has had extensive training in the Western classes. So this year we will be doing Western and next year (really this fall) we will begin English and Jumping.
Here's a little funny story about her. When I go into feed in the mornings. I give everyone there breakfast and grain. I then go back and clean their corrals and take off their blankets and put on their fly sheets. After removing their blankets, I usually take a moment to give them a scratch in their favorite spot. Dandy loves to be scratched just behind her withers along her back bone. She will follow me around and stand where ever I am trying to scoop up poop until I scratch her. Well I didn't have time the other morning, so I kept ignoring her and asking her to move so I could scoop poop. When I went to put her fly sheet on and was bent over at the waist standing infront of her buckling the front straps, she gave me a scratch on the back with her lip and then nipped me. I guess she was telling me this is what I want you to do and she reinforced her suggestion with a little nip.
I love QH's! My horse is TB/Hanov, but she looks like a QH for some reason, haha and she has the mind of one. Except she looks like a warmblood under saddle....
