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.
