About Mr Appy GilmoreMy friend Mr Gilmore, the horse I should never have bought. I'm a timid re rider, so I'll never know why I answered the ad for a 'needs experienced rider' gelding. We went to see him and found he hadn't been ridden in a while, but he felt good when I rode him and we bought him and brought him home. I rode him a little but not as much as I should, for various reasons, and last spring I decided to sell him. He went to my farrier and I was happy that he was being used. Then through no fault of his own, hay shortage and a job loss, I was asked if I would take him back, and I did. Well I started riding him and fell in love, I can't believe that this boy was here the whole time and I nearly let him go!
ActivitiesHe is my trail horse, and my pony horse for taking the youngsters out for exersise.

UPDATE...

That was then, now Appy Gilmore is my dressage horse. We've been working on walk/trot tests this year, and in the spring we will start training level. He has gone from trail horse to ring star, with a nice display of ribbons on a few short months.
