Well, I'm dreadfully bored at work, so I decided I'd make a member journal about my girly. I kind of keep quiet on the forum, so perhaps this is a way for people to get to know us a bit.
I own one very wonderful mare named Written In The Stars aka Izzie. Not the best registered name, but it was the only one we could agree on once we decided to change it from the dreadful name she used to have (OLA Shaharazaud; the OLA was given from her previous owners naming their backyard breeding operation Oak Leaf Arabians, which only bred Half Arabians). They also lied on her registration papers about when she was born. If you search OLA Shaharazaud the birth date listed is 4/21/2010, but her papers say 5/6/2010. Coincidence I sent in the deposit for her in April and picked her up May 13th of her yearling year? I think not. They hadn't registered her yet, and also did not register as PtHA as they claimed she was registered in (whatever, we've only done fairs and AHA shows).
Anyway, about Izzie! Izzie is a now 5 year old Half Arabian/Half Paint mare (pedigree here for those interested: Written In The Stars Part-bred Arab). We bought her as a fresh yearling just by seeing her picture on video of her movement. She seemed like a willing, happy filly, so we figured let's go for it! Worst case, she'd wind up a trail horse. Best case, I'd have one heck of a show horse! Well, I got both She's a fun little trail horse who, while nervous sometimes, really wants to do what I ask of her. I am fair when I ask something new, but she knows she has to put forth some effort to earn a reward. This is just an example of her willingness. We had only walked in the creek one other time, and it was from the ground as a yearling or two year old:
I'll make a couple posts of her throughout the years so not as to make one enormous post
