Hi everyone! Starting a journal looked like fun, so I thought I would give it a try!
I have two horses: Prince,a mini gelding, and Annie, a Quarter Horse mare. I also manage my father's mini mare, Lady. I have two German Shepherd dogs, Missy and Mutty, and a bunch of cats. I live on a farm, so I do not board my horses.
About Annie:
Orphaned at birth, Annie is a special horse. The original owner wanted to shoot her, but another lady took her in and bottle fed her. Then, after awhile, Annie was sold to this lady's friend, who then sold her to me. She is now around seven years old, and I bought her when she was around two years old. She primarily does trail riding, but we do some liberty work. I would really like to do reining, but I do not think that is going to happen.:sad:
About Prince:
Prince is a half brother to Lady. They were bought from the same place at the same time right after they were weaned. As soon as we brought him home, one of the dogs ( one that has since died from cancer, but was a very good dog most of the time) escaped from where she was caged and bit him. Thank goodness that it no one was seriously injured physically, but poor Prince never got over being uncomfortable around dogs. We do dressage with a surcingle and a dressage whip, since I can not ride him. He also enjoys jumping in hand, and doing liberty.
About Lady:
Lady was my first horse, but when it came time for me to move on, Dad could not stand to see her be sold outside of the family. It is a funny story because he was very determined to never ever have a horse, yet he fell in love. :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
I trained her to pull a small cart, which she adores, and she lets small children ride on her back.
Well, that is my first post in my journal!
