Horse

I've always been a horse nut.  My father put me up on a horse when I was about two and I have loved them ever since.  I will go out of my way to spend time with a horse. My parents used to cringe when I would see a horse and start yelling for them to stop the car.  Back in the day, there used to be pony rides on a lot of the corners in the city I grew up in and they would have to learn different routes to wherever they were going so I wouldn't see one of the pony rides and start screaming for them to stop so I could ride the ponies.

I rode a lot when I was younger and I admit to being a bit reckless. (riding backwards or sideways at a full gallop and giving the person riding behind us or next to us the raspberries )  Of course, we all just thought it was fun. 

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get my own horse when I was younger.  Just as I was about to get one when I was about 22, circumstances prevented it and I had to do the more adult thing....like buy a house. 

In early 2008 I found a nice local Christian woman who was having trouble finding time for her horses.  She's very busy but didn't want to give them up, so she advertised for someone who loved horses to come out spend time with them and ride them.  Guess who volunteered?  *waves hand*

In December 2008, I finally purchased my own horse.  A 2003 registered (APHA) Tobiano Paint gelding named Toby.  

In June 2010, I purchased a new horse, a 1994 registered (AQHA) sorrel Quarter Horse mare named Autumn.
