I don't have a favourite bloodline.
But I want a buckskin (doesn't matter what pattern as long as it has spots) appy, or a strawberry roan few spot.
The reason I love Appys:
My true soulmate was an appy mare named Nellie. She taught me a lot of things, including what TRUE friendship, and complete trust in eachother, feels like, and she showed me what true love is really like. Every day I could I'd hop on her bareback and go trail riding with only a halter and leadrope on her, in the summer we went on an overnight camp, and once helped out at a camp our barn was hosting.
In a field of two horses she was the least dominant. One day i went to close the gate, didn't know the other horse wanted to see me and had threatened to kick her if she didn't move. She moved, but she placed herself directly between him and I. He kicked with both hind feet, and she stood there and took it because had she moved outta the way I woulda gotten the blow square on my back. I could have been killed or paralyzed from that kick, and she staved me from it happening...
In september we went to one horse show and won a few fifths and fourths.
Then came october... One weekend i chose to sleep over at a friend's instead of going to see her, and the next day when dad picked me up he had a grave face on... When I got home mom was bawling and she wrapped me in a hug... Nellie, my horse, was dead...
She died of abdominal cancer... And today is the 6th anniversary of her passing...
She is the reason I love Appys <3
