The first horse I ever leased, Maggie. She was awesome. I used to ride her bareback everywhere. There was no better horse to first lease.
Another horse I leased, Scarlet. She was definitely a few steps above Maggie. She had more spirit and she tested me more.
Then there was Shiloh. We owned him. He had a mustache, he had a lot of trust issues but he learned to trust me and my mom.
Then there was Yuma. We owned him as well. He was another that you could ride anywhere bareback. He wouldn't go anywhere with a halter...because he didn't have to. You could certainly try though.
He was mighty handsome in show clothes though.
And he did really well at anything and everything you put him to. As long as it wasn't too hard, then he told you to go find someone else to work that hard. He certainly wasn't going to.
Then there was Bert. He looked really nice, had a lot of go...had no woah. Not a good thing. Probably would have been a great cross country horse though.
Then there was Monarch. Best horse in the world. He had hearing trouble which is why he had cotton in his ears. He was an awesome jumper. Unfortunately, he had ringbone, a degenerative disease in the hoof that was incurable and made him unusable for jumping. It made me very sad to lose him.
Then there was Sunny. Sweet and spirited. I ran out of time for him in high school and sold him. That and he threw me off him and I ended up unconscious. That might have had something to do with it...maybe.
All in all, I've owned a lot of great horses. There's a bunch of other horses I've owned over the years but I don't have pictures of all of them. Quite unfortunate. And of course, there are the horses I've had since I've been here. I'll do something on them another day. Tomorrow, a holiday special!
