We showed Tennessee walking horses for years, then my husband had a serious health problem, sold our horses, then after he got better he missed having a horse. He cannot ride them anymore (we are old) but we found out about this adoption and were so lucky to get "Chris". We had never done this before except for work horses and mules years ago. We had an Amish friend check him out to make sure when we started driving him that we would not be in the next town in 2 minutes or less. LOL. He is such a gentlemen.
